With alllllll these lost TV shows that were brought to us decades ago, you would think there would be some online or cable outlet created to devote itself entirely to them. Nope….they’d rather rerun I Love Lucy and the Simpsons for the 800 billionth time. So much is backwards in America. So much never makes sense.
And "SEINFELD".....and 'TWO AND A HALF MEN"...........and "EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND".............and "THE GOLDEN GIRLS"..................and----------- 🙄
Actually, I was referring to sitcoms of the past 30 + years that are endlessly repeated on various local, cable and streaming channels. And don't get me started about "TWO BROKE GIRLS"!!!!!!
9:18--The font for "The House on Greenapple Road" was popular in 1970. ABC's "Movie of the Week," "Mary Tyler Moore," and the film "Love Story" used it, too, that year.
The original name of that typeface is Peignot. It was designed in 1937, and since the advent of personal computers, it’s been widely copied under a variety of different names.
Man I love your style with these latest videos. Just enough of the original programming to give us a feeling of how it would have been to watch it live. Thank you
Much more of an entertaining line up wirh only 3 major networks, vs all the streaming options we have today. What made a huge difference back then is that we had alot more in common as to what we watched then, vs today, especially with the Sunday night movies that aired and we would talk about them in school the next day.
That is very true. We were all talking about the movie we had all seen on TV or the latest episode of our favorite TV show. It was a bonding sort of experience.
@@SMtWalkerSand once we missed it on TV well out of luck...ran home each sat nite to watch family mannix mission impossible.....worried not being able to see it again...ha ha
Like "M*A*S*H," it could've done without the laugh track, but the network probably insisted on it. Today it would likely be produced with no canned laughter.
No way the first part is 1972. Cigarette commercials were banned starting 1 January 1971 so this clip is likely all 1970 up through 1:00:00. After that it is 1972 - the news item about The Rolling Stones at the Hollywood Palladium would date the last part of this clip along with Tom Snyder mentioning the date as June 8, 1972.
That makes two of us! I miss those days so much, no, things weren't perfect but they were a thousand times better than nowadays. Best part for me would be that all my family would still be here. 😢
I agree. But times keeps moving forward and society inevitably changes and evolves…. We were so lucky to have experienced and lives during that unique time.
Ah yes, The House on Greenapple Road. I love how they dont list Bill Windom in the credits! He played a BIG role in this film. This was filmed in 69 I believe and shelved because of rhe Manson murders. Bill would later work with Jamie Lee Curtis in Grandview USA. In the kirchen scene you can see Bill wearing slippers. He hated wearing shoes.
Farrah Fawcett for United Airlines at 5:23. Right after that is Eve Plumb in that scene from The House on Greenapple Road (5:42). You see her again in the beginning of the movie at 7:29. The Rice Chex ad features Jack Somack (6:36 and again at 6:59) and Richard Schull (6:55).
At 41:15, that's character actor Robert Rockwell as Mr. Tichner in the ad for the '71 Plymouth Duster. And at 53:05 it's Joe Higgins as the sheriff in the one for the '71 Dodge Demon. Higgins is back again at 1:15:52 in another Dodge ad, right after Tom Snyder and the KNBC news. Robbie Rist, aka Cousin Oliver from The Brady Bunch, at 1:18:45 for Jell-O pudding in a can. And the voice of Mel Brooks for the Bic Banana at 1:27:46.
39:31 The first running of the Indycar version of the California 500 was September 6, 1970, which at least nails the news teaser down pretty definitively.
Yes...that night was the repeat of HOUSE ON GREENAPPLE ROAD, in preparation for the debut of DAN AUGUST (with Burt Reynolds replacing Christopher George in the title role, as George was starring in another new ABC series that fall, THE IMMORTAL)
Was it a common practice to tack on a psa after the credits of a show sometimes even before the production logo appears? I notice that a lot from older recordings
Polyester pants from Levi’s! Who knew? And that pitchman for Chevron’s F-310 additive must have been an engineer, not an actor. Quite the unusual voice.
1:33:21 Hubert Humphrey says democrats should keep George Wallace in the democrat party. That statement didn't work out to well. Not the best thing for Hubert to say. Apparently the CBS News broadcast was from May 31, 1972 George Wallace was shot on May 15,1972 by Arthur Breamer. Kind of strange they were still voting for Wallace after he had been shot.
1:06:10 The Osmonds the group. Hard to believe Elvis Presley convinced them to wear the same jumpsuit as him. It worked for Elvis unfortunately it didn't work for the Osmonds.
"House on Greenapple Road" was repeated on "THE ABC SUNDAY NIGHT MOVIE" on September 6, 1970; the "CHANGING SCENE" special promoted at 39:01 {first of four for Chevrolet on ABC that season} was telecast on September 10th.
1:17:51 "Rollin' On The River" ending with Kenny Rogers and the First Edition which aired in syndication in the USA. The show was produced and aired by CTV in Canada.
If more of the football games were available on this video, RU-vid under the demands of the NFL would take the entire video down due to copyright issues. I hope it won't happen with the amount that's already on here.
