Pick: What would you watch on TV in 1978?
So many superheroes and super sitcoms!
Are you ready to groove back to 1978? Well, we have a remote control that happens to be a time machine, too. It's was the disco era — which meant seeing ABBA perform live. It was also an era of superheroes, much like today, with Wonder Woman and the big green guy. Space was hot, thanks to Star Wars. Charlie's Angels and Hawaii Five-O were fighting crime.
All of this sounds a lot like today, honestly.

ABBA wasn't just disco. Their brand of music was often referred to as "Euro-pop," because they were part of the European pop music scene when they debuted in the mid-70's.
I was a little kid then and remember the Super hero shows Wonder Woman and The Incredible Hulk. Happy Days and the Fonz appealed to a seven year old.
So quaint - we seldom had all three networks available at a given time. We had to use a motor to turn the antenna on our 40 ft tower to get a given staation.
I got 62%. Hmmm. not sure if these shows were really on at the same time, I remember watching so many of them and not having to make such a tough choice back then!
68% I remember tuning into Mork & Mindy just to watch Robin Williams do the dance!
