Nostalgic Memories #1: Early 1970s Kid’s TV Shows

This is the first in a series of nostalgic memories that include TV shows, commercials, toys, and more, as I remember them, while writing my memoir as part of my family history.

I have been in the process of trying to write my memoir, and in doing so, I have come up with tons of memories from every decade, which I thought would be fun to share. I spent a couple of years living with my grandma when I was between the ages of 3-5, and while jotting down my memories of my time with her, I also remembered some of the TV shows I watched during that time. This brought back tons of nostalgic memories, and maybe it will bring back some for you as well.
