Channel 5 takes a nostalgic trip back to the 1970s with “70s TV We Loved & Lost,” airing this Sunday from 7:30 PM to 9:00 PM. The program offers a fun, family-friendly look at the television that shaped a generation, inviting modern families to experience a curated evening of prime-time programming, ’70s style.
Three families agree to ditch their mobile devices and settle in for a night of vintage TV viewing, watching a schedule of sitcoms, game shows, drama series, and the evening news – all pulled straight from a typical Saturday night in the 1970s. Their reactions, from amusement to bewilderment, offer a fascinating contrast between then and now.
Interspersed with the program excerpts are commentary from cultural experts, who offer insights into the era’s social climate and the role television played in shaping family life. Expect appearances from familiar faces – the light entertainment hosts, glamorous actors, and serious newsreaders who defined the decade’s television landscape. And for a true blast from the past, the program even features a selection of original advertisements, a trip down memory lane for those who remember them and a curious glimpse into consumer culture for those who don’t.
