Welcome Back Kotter, Good Times, All in the Family, Happy Days. These '70s TV shows and others were more than just for laughs - they represented values, beliefs, and changing social mores. WGN TV's Larry Potash reports on what today's students are learning from yesterday's television.

  • I can name all 99 episode's of Gilligan's Island, Can I get a $500,000 gov.grant 

  • OMG he is my teacher right now and i love him

  • @grammyd55 Me too!

  • Yes, we talked about the tv show we watched the night before every morning before school....it was a great time, and I am so lucky to have grown up then.

  • I loved Welcome Back Kotter, Happy Days, All in the Family, I dream of Jeannie, Bewitched, Casper the Friendly Ghost, The Adams Family, The Munsters, the Brady Bunch, etc. Those were real fun to watch television shows that all the family could enjoy. I really miss those days.

  • That's my teacher :D

  • I have to agree.Back when I was in school if the teacher made it fun...such as a triva game with the class split in two teams..or any way that made it more fun than the boring old talking and note taking...we loved it and learned more.

  • Hey Everyone !!! Come check out my Groovy Channel and take a trip back to the 70's!!! Please leave any comments or suggestions.

  • The prof says tv shows today are almost too real? Wha?? I don't think most shows on tv today reflect real life much at all (not even cable shows except for maybe the swearing). I think there were many good realist shows back in the 70s. It's just that there are more channels now so therefore more shows, so you have more variety of everything (and more facets of real life might be represented too therefore but only shown in a kind of hyperbolic/sensationalistic way, I find)

  • Yes, he was Vinnie Barbarino.
