1972 Mercury Meteor Rideau 500

What did you think of the film?

And I don’t want to hear about reruns.

How many younger people do you honestly think are watching this show nowadays when there’s so much out there to see?

You get two points for the correct name of the show, plus one point for the correct name of the character.

Actually these still look great to me.

For the record, I hate the way Reddit can’t figure out how to resize the photos to fit in the post.

The Flintstones series ended in 1966 but the vitamins weren’t launched until 1968.

Betty wasn’t added until 1995 (third photo).

And they’re still on the market.

Ladies and gentlemen, Mr Kevin Kline.

You couldn’t escape that word in the 70s; everybody was saying it.

Fortunately it got old fast and pop culture eventually moved on.

Northrop M2-F2 Lifting Body aircraft; pilot Bruce Peterson survived, and didn’t care for film of his crash being shown in the intro to The Six Million Dollar Man.

Can’t really blame him.

The subliminal frames of “Captain Howdy”, otherwise known as the demon Pazuzu, from The Exorcist.

Even though I know it’s a heavily made up Eileen Dietz (see last photo), it’s still pretty freaky.

You know you’re old if you raked your shag carpeting.

45 years ago, Once in a Lifetime was released.

I'm the self-inflicted mind detonator, yeah
I'm the one infected, twisted animator

And that velour was uncomfortable.

Different times.

Edit: For anyone emphatically insisting it was never considered safe, in fact, there was a time when it was mostly safe.
