The 1970s was a decade of turmoil, a decade of invention and a decade of change.
The seventies saw a change in television from simple family sitcoms to shows with more socially conscious content like The Mary Tyler Moore Show, All in the Family, M*A*S*H, and The Jeffersons.
During the decade, we saw a U.S. president resign to escape impeachment and the U.S. National Guard fire on students at Kent State University.
