I was born in 1970, and I spent a lot of my youth sitting in front of the TV. Not all the time, mind you, but a decent amount of it, and it’s hard to say that it didn’t pay off at least somewhat, since I stand before you as someone who’s more or less made his living for the last decade and a half as a result of a love of television that blossomed in the ‘70s.
This decade was Very TRAIN Heavy. Even Logan's Run has a train in it. And two John Schuck vehicles! I remember many of them but for me, Planet of the Apes was the king of the single season 70's shows.
Ha! Cliffhangers! Curious that it only lasted two months because I still have clear memories of regularly discussing it with friends during recess. I'd have sworn it lasted a full season of playground talk. At any rate, it was really popular with the ten-year-old crowd.
My memories of Holmes and Yoyo and the Man From Atlantis are much more sketchy (chiefly Patrick Duffy's webbed hands and feet when he was in water). I know I watched at least a few episodes of each, but that's about it.
