SciFi In The 1970s – Space: 1999 To Battlestar Galactica.
Ok, the 70′s were some of the worst music and fashion years in history right? That may be true but television in the 70′s was fantastic. None of this reality television crap. We had game shows and sitcoms. Family problems were solved in half an hour or an hour. No one was bed hopping or having “wardrobe malfunctions”. It was an era of good television.
Instead of “CSI” which shows how damage is done to the human body by certain elements and weapons we had “Quincy” which focused on his using his pathological evidence to prove a theory but also showed a life outside of his profession. We had sitcoms which showed problems and solutions to those problems all within the space of half an hour.
Game shows were fun to watch because they had real people and they actually were playing games that largely consisted of luck instead of the “popularity contests” that are being considered games now.
Now we have “Reality TV”. In the 70′s we used television to escape from reality. We watched families have fun together and squabble over little things like bathroom time.
Watching television in the 70′s was fun, now it’s just popularity contests.Related Article : Zodiak Media Game Show Audition
