My 70's TV Childhood

Survivors: Would You Survive?


Listen Later

Hello, and welcome to the first episode of Season Five of "My 70’s TV Childhood." As we step into the New Year of 2024, I'm excited to share my memories of the iconic TV series "Survivors."

In this episode, we'll match our post-Christmas mood by stepping into the dark and apocalyptic world of "Survivors." This series, with its bleak portrayal of a post-pandemic society, was known for its grim and realistic depiction of a world ravaged by a deadly virus – a theme that might sound eerily familiar to us now.

We'll follow characters like Jenny Richards, Abby Grant, and Greg, exploring their journeys through a devastated world. These characters were central to the show's appeal, captivating and sometimes disturbing its audience. And yes, for a young mind like mine at the time, this show had plenty of gore to keep me thoroughly entertained!

Did you love "Survivors," especially the first series, as much as I did? How did it impact you back then, and what does it mean to you now?  Did it make you ponder how to survive a rampant killer virus? If so, it's always good to share that kind of intel, so get in touch.
