6. I had a GREAT time during the 70's.

But I cant remember the 80's. :shrug:

I do remember wearing wide-lapeled polyester shirts with striped flare-legged pants and platform shoes!

8. Good decade since I was born in the 70s.

Bad due to the clothing. I felt sorry for skinny people in the 70s since they did not have anything cute to wear.

9. I liked the show about the 70's gadgets better.

The "History Rocks" show was too much like "Pop-Up Videos."
