Where To Watch
Poll: What would you watch on TV in 1974?
Would you say hello to the Fonz or goodbye to Festus?
The year 1974 was a period of transition, not just in popular culture, but specifically in television. You had a legendary Western riding off into the sunset after a two-decade run. You had a nostalgic sitcom about the 1950s introducing soon-to-be household names like the Fonz and Potsie. Family favorites were saying goodbye as new ones were waving hello.
In other words, there was a variety from which to choose — including some variety shows.
So, if you had a time machine and a magical remote control, what would you pick to watch on the tube in the '74–'75 season? See how your selections stack up against the rest.
