I was born in 1961, so grew up with these classic shows. Cartoons of 60s and kid shows were best..Kimba The White Lion,H.R.Pufnstuf, Banana Splits,Lidsville,Bugaloos.Milton the Monster,Archie's,Groovy Ghoulies.
Don’t forget Felix The Cat, Scooby-Doo, Magilla Gorilla, Rocky & Bullwinkle, Gumby(& his side-kick Pokey the horse), Davey & Goliath(his dog), Sherman & Mr. Peabody( his genius dog), Tennessee Tuxedo, Crusader Rabbit, Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Mighty Mouse, Feivel the Mouse, Tom & Jerry(including Spike the dog & his son Tyke), Speedy Gonzalez(the mouse), Top Cat, Lippy the Lion and Hardy Har Har(Lippy’s side-kick who is a sad hyena), Wally Gator, Popeye the Sailor Man(& his rival Bluto or Brutus & their girl friend Olive Oyl), Bozo the Clown, David Seville & the 3 Chipmunks (Alvin, Simon, & Theodore), The Flintstones(Fred Flintstone & his wife Wilma & baby daughter Pebbles, & their neighbors & friends Barney Rubble, his wife Betty, & baby son Bamm-Bamm), The Jetsons ( George Jetson & his wife & teenage daughter & son Elroy & their dog & robot maid. George worked for Spacely Sprockets which had a rival Cogswell Cogs.), Woody Woodpecker, Road Runner & Wile E. Coyote, Donald Duck, Daffy Duck, Howard The Duck, Bugs Bunny (with hunter Elmer Fudd who is always trying to catch Bugs & who says “Dag Nabbit, dat Wabbit!”), QuickDraw McGraw( & his side-kick Baba Louie who looks like a Mexican mouse. QuickDraw’s favorite weapon is a guitar. When he hits a bad guy over the head with it, he says “el kabong!”.), Huckleberry Hound, Augie Doggie & Doggie Daddy, Heckle & Jeckle (who are magpies which are birds who make fun of other critters), Yogi Bear (& his son or little side-kick Boo Boo), The Jackson 5ive cartoons, Peanuts cartoons ( with Charlie Brown, Lucy; Schroeder [who plays Beethoven classics on a toy piano], Linus, Pigpen, Franklin, Peppermint Patty, the little red-haired girl,...)...the list goes on and on. I was born in 1953, I liked cartoons as a kid, and I still like them. Whenever I watch cartoons, I laugh and forget troubles and worries.
I was born in 1957 and I definitely remember most of these shows. But how can you leave out my favorite show of all time; which is my beloved Green Acres?
I was born in the late 60's, but I recall seeing many of these in syndication and reruns. Thanks to channels and stations like TV Land and Me-TV, I've seen a lot more.
The greatest decade for T V ever is an understatement !!!!! Wish I could go back in time and live the rest of my life from 1961 till whenever say to the 1980s.
I really wish i was born in the 60’s. Such great stuff back then. Im a 2006 baby and i cant stand the music and shows in my generation. I much rather the 60’s with The Beach Boys, The Beatles, Motown records, etc. My favorite TV shows from the 60’s have to be Gilligan’s Island, The Andy Griffith Show, and The Flintstones but there so many more I enjoy. I also like the 30’s show The Three Stooges...they’re hilarious! Im so glad I have someone in my family who enjoys all of this same stuff and can tell me of their childhood in the 1950’s and 60’s. Even though im only 13, I enjoy being an old soul!
@@brianik8100 Yes by the good for nothing TV networks of today that have been around for decades. The following CBS, the Conjob Broadcasting System, NBC the Nitwit Broadcasting Company and ABC the Assinine Broadcasting Company! Their real titles!
U.N.C.L.E. Couldn’t get enough of their secret devices & intelligent schemes to get to the criminal act. And the soundtrack. Blew me away. Just heard it in my mind without looking them up. Thanks Cool Dude.
Thanks for this. Cool trip down memory lane. I think of The Brady Bunch as a 70s show but you are correct to include it since it did debut in fall of 69.
I was born in the early 60's and alot of the shows that are on this video I remember watching. My favorite show was " The Flying Nun" I wish something like that was still on.
So many of these shows were just fantastic Dr. Kildare, and who can forget the opening of "Ben Casey" ...."Man. woman, birth, death, infinity". One of those classic shows that I was so upset about it;s cancellation was "Then came Bronson"
Wow, There were so many good shows back in the day. I want to turn the clocks back to my childhood days. I miss a lot of those television shows. Thank you for sharing!❤️
See you later Wally Gator. I used to love watching Hanna Barbera cartoons as a child but in reruns from the 60s of course. I grew up loving The Flintstones and I'm 55 and still love old cartoons, I wish Boomerang would bring back all five seasons of The Flintstones as well as Scooby Doo and Josie And The Pussycats. Wally Gator, Land Of The Dinosaurs, The Banana Splits, Top Cat all of the cartoons they originally played instead of the stuff they show now. Even in the middle of the night so people can DVR them to watch later.
My Favorite Martian...... I didn't see it when it first came on, but I remembered it running in syndication when I was 11 or 12, about '71 or '72, it was on Washington DC station channel 5 wttg, was watching it on Hulu until they started charging for all shows, the old shows were free. I love that show, and Adam-12, I did see that in it's first run.
Julie Newmar as an android, before she became Catwoman on Batman. Fun Fact: Suspense Theater was once sponsored by Kraft Foods. Later when it went into syndication, it was titled Crisis.
Ronald Reagan had one of his last acting roles on there before he ran for Governor of CA. He played a judge in the episode "A Cruel and Unusual Night".
I met Julie Newmar at an oldies convention in Manhattan in the 1980s. Spoke to her and was very happy to shake her hand anposed for a picture with her. Unfortunately I since lost that picture. Joe Franklin was the host and was still on late night TV interview and nostalgia show of his. Oh when TV was fun to watch and was for everyone except for heavy drama that was on the air late night before the 11.00 PM news broadcast.
I was born in 1963, but I remember a lot of these shows from their first run. Some of them I have heard of but only saw them in syndication much later.
Awesome as usual Fred you got me spoiled, I wait a couple of days then i get my pretzels and potato chips sit and really enjoy myself watching your videos, thanks so much Fred 👍💯❤
Lots of great shows but missing is The Big Valley, The Banana Splits, Love on a Rooftop, Bonanza , The Virginian, Star Trek, Lost In Space, Time Tunnel, Land on the Giants, voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, Lassie. I love 60’s television.
My Mother the Car! I remember seeing at least 2 episodes of it. Today if I was a TV producer I'd have a movie version of it called My Mother in Law the Army Tank Who is a Social Justice Warrior!
The great thing about the 60's and 70's is, the number of original themes with the shows and movies on TV, now most of the top shows and movies are sequels or rehashed themes.
This is exactly where I was 50 years ago! The best days for television memories when quality production and actors were the norm!,There was also another show that was on for not too long called "Grindle" starring Imogene Coca as a bungling housekeeper.I'll never forget those daisies coming out of her hat!
GREAT, was fun taking a ride through memory lane!! Was watching for the show called 'The Immortal' hey I'm sure there was a lot of show not included though.
Interesting you should mention The Immortal, Patrick. That was my favorite show as a 15 year old. I recorded episodes on audio tape. I didn't include it here because not enough people know about it.
I grew up watching some of these shows while in syndication since I was too young to remember most of it while on the networks. I loved Beany & Cecil and Astro Boy. Come on, no Combat, Hawaii 5-0, Star Trek, Outer Limits, Twilight Zone, Dragnet??
"The Naked City" was a rarity---a cop show that was more about the people than the crimes, not some boilerplate "us vs them" Stepen J Cannel or Law and Order overwrought bullshit.
Great job Fred; as always (and I forgive you for including part of the opening to that stupid show "THE FLYING NUN"-I read somewhere that even Sally Field hates it)
What's really amazing is that show lasted three years, at a time when there weren't so many channels. Imagine the guy pitching the show to the network: "Well, i's about a nun...and she flies!" What were they thinking????
so true, but you have to consider the era it was made in-it was when "fantasy sitcoms" were popular: MY MOTHER THE CAR, BEWITCHED, I DREAM OF JEANNIE, etc.
I also read, and not long ago, about Sally Field hating the show. IIRC she was under contract with Screen Gems and since Gidget did not last long, she had to do another show.
@@CarolinaNIM She loved Gidget. But hated The Flying Nun. She was shamed into being on it by her Stepfather Jock Mahoney and her future husband Steven Craig threatened to dump het for Ronne Troup who was actually the one they originally hired until Sally gave in.
@@FredFlix Is that really any more bizarre than a poor mountain family striking oil, getting rich & moving to Beverly Hills; an astronaut with his own genie; or a nice, normal family... of monsters???
I’m sorry, I grew up with most of the shows and looking back at them they were just idiotic. The flying nun? Bewitched had Elizabeth Montgomery who was a great actress. Not t that Sally Field is not a great actress. 12 o’clock high, the untouchables, the Virginian, there was some great drama on television. But even that was constrained by the advertisers on the show and they couldn’t really do anything that might offend anyone. Right now is the golden age. Between streaming and network television there is a plethora of amazing programming that is incredibly well written, Directed and acted and actually has something to say. As far as comedy goes - I would agree that a lot of today’s comedy just goes for shock value and it gets boring pretty fast. However shows like modern family, the Simpsons etc. are funny and smart. Murphy Brown is coming back and tI’m happy to see that . Main stream shows like bewitched, I am dream of Jeannie, etc. were there to distract Americans from the Vietnam war. Which could not be touched on by network television. Laugh in was a game changer and hilarious. All in the family it was a game changer and both hilarious and uncomfortable LOL. But thanks For putting this together. I just would never call the 60s the greatest decade for television. Perhaps the greatest decade for music.
Sally Field is my favorite actress. I have her book and she says she took acting classes in the Strasberg school. They were taught to be in character 24/7 for the entire time they were performing in a play,movie etc-. It's called method acting.
