1970s Reruns You Couldn’t Escape
Remember when you didn’t pick a show—you took whatever your local station served up and thanked the TV gods if it wasn’t pre-empted by weather? This video drops you straight back into the late-70s rerun trenches, when rabbit ears wore foil armor, the dial clicked like a safe, and the same show hit the same time slot every weekday like clockwork. We’re counting down 23 staples that owned the “strip” era—Bewitched, Gilligan’s Island, The Brady Bunch, Hee Haw, Match Game, Hollywood Squares, PM Magazine, and the king of them all, Family Feud—with the stories, quirks, and behind-the-scenes bits that made these reruns feel like a national shared language. If your childhood soundtrack was theme songs, catchphrases, and the Strike! buzzer, this is the kind of nostalgia that hits like opening the front door to a wood-paneled living room and a TV dinner waiting on a folding tray.
