We had shag carpeting in just about every room of our house in the seventies. In the sixties I remember we had hardwood floors in many of the rooms with awful brown and orange yarn area rugs in the living room and the basement. When I think of the 60's, those ugly yarn rugs is one of the first things I think about. Actually I was glad to get the shag carpets. I hated those yarn rugs even when they were considered "fashionable".
Remember the "Bicentenial Minute"? Which network did that? Anyone remember? I think it was CBS.
Oh, and "It's 11:00. Do you know where your children are?" I think that might have been from the 1980's.

Blue=cool, very relaxed
Green=nervous+tense
Yellow=?/don't remember
Orange/Red=angry
Purple=sexy
^That was my rusty memory, anyway. From HowStuffWorks.com:
* Dark blue: Happy, romantic or passionate
* Blue: Calm or relaxed
* Blue-green: Somewhat relaxed
* Green: Normal or average
* Amber: A little nervous or anxious
* Gray: Very nervous or anxious
* Black: Stressed, tense or feeling harried

Thanks Laura!!
So Dark Blue meant Happy, Romantic and Passionate?
My ring was always blue. I guess this helps to explain my gay, lustful and horny impulses back then! ;)

Shee-it! I still have my original Wacky Packages from childhood. They are my favorite subversive product of the 1970's.
I love my 70's MAD magazines, too. I have a ton of those, too.

Hoppity hop and hoppity horse. Later on they made Hoppity Micky Mouse and Hoppity Donald Duck.

As far as toys go, Big Jim was a total fox and his 'buddy' Big Josh was even cuter!
