A techy modern family gets sent to live in the 1970s. Starting with 1970.

Even the tv channels and times are from 1970, one bathroom in the house etc..

Quite interesting to see them deal with it.

Eh...1 decade per day? Would have been better to give them some time to adjust and let it sink in, at least a week per decade.

one year per decade.

They start in 1970.

then the next day 1971.

I don't think I'd mind that. Best decade for rock music.

you can listen to your favourite music now too... and 70s = no internet for home

 

[Jaepheth]

Not enough settle-in time.

Would be better to do a 5 year jump every month.

Wasn't there an MTV or VH1 show that did something like this a couple years ago?

Found it

Quick, put all our money in this new "Microsoft" company. Right around 2000, we'll jump ship to Apple. And in 2009, Bitcoin!

What do you mean we can't do that? What the hell's the point of time travel then?

 

[JManInPhoenix]

I lived through the 70s, no thanks...

 

[z1ggy]

You know I've been watching too much pr0n when I see the title with BBC in it and automatically assume big black c*ck... Sigh..

I think life would be more enjoyable. Less crap to worry about.

No that only applies if the rest of the FUCKING WORLD was also forced to live in the 70's.

If you were the only one it would suck balls.

Does anybody know what the song is in the background and who the artist is ?
The first song with the guitars and the synthesizer.

 

[Theb]

Do they have to let their pubes grow back in? That would be a deal breaker for me.

 

[alkemyst]

One bathroom in the 1970's? I didn't encounter that growing up anywhere.

Gary Numan & The Tubeway Army: Are Friends Electric? I used to play it as a dj for my weekly hour at the faculty of science and engineering student radio.

We had just one bathroom in our small apartment. from 1970 to 1980, I was 13 to 23 years old. High school to getting my degree in engineering. Went from slide rule to calculators. I remember us also getting a colour TV in the mid 70s, later than our neighbours as the sets were expensive.

And of course I still have my sound system from circa 1975.

yeah, week per year would have been more interesting.

Indeed, thank you.

 

[dennilfloss]

I should still have the LP. And in much better shape than the one they used. Those ceramic cartridges really did a number on the grooves. We called them bulldozers. Magnetic cartridges were much lighter on the record and accordingly produced less wear. Plus we cleaned our records. I used (and still have) my Discwasher brushes.

One year per day then right?

Not only that, but it sent them back in time...

All the houses in my parents' neighborhood were built with one bathroom (mid 40's era) and I'm sure most still had one bath when the 70's rolled around.

 

[Hugo Drax]

Funny to see how happy the wife is with the new fangled "Freezer" arriving in 1975

Back then making a mix tape was so much work compared to now.

Was born in 1973.

I did not grow up in North America and technology was always a decade or so arriving on my shores so to speak.

My dad built his house in 1972 and I was born in 1973. House had 4 bedrooms and three bathrooms at the time. Our family consisted of four.

Growing up in the 70s and 80's I had no cell phones, no computers, no cable TV for starters.

I was very active and fit back then and read a lot of books as well. Now, I cannot imagine going back then and living without the internet or a computer. What the hell happened to me??????
