1976 was the best for me. First kiss, got to see the Tall ships in Annapolis Harbor,

Wow! I haven't thought of these in... well, over 35 years! ('Course, I was very young at the time!)
They seemed to have a duel purpose of educating people on revolutionary factoids, and also easing American National Pride... which was at something of a low ebb at the time. (Unlike today.)

makes me wish I was alive in 1975-76

I remember the year with all those minutes. Wow I wish it was 1976 again.

I was eleven when these aired and just loved them. Television was soooo much better then.

Remember the bicentennial moments on CBS? wow!

@robwargo ~ I agree! CBS should release these historic minutes on DVD.
People were much more literate on the average in 1975 than people are today. They still taught dates in history classes, which they don't do now. Today, history is all about making unimportant people feel good about themselves. That's why American students today can't tell you the name of 1 Revolutionary War general. They can tell you why the British were better than the white, male, heterosexual, slave owning Americans though. The average high school graduate couldn't find Boston on a map.
