As a young girl I used to watch the King family show with my mother. She loved the king sisters and grew up listening to them. I’m glad she introduced me to them.
The King Family is gold, and I LOOOVVE getting to see full episodes like this. I do have to say, though, that it's criminal that these shows weren't recorded/broadcast in color. Because wonderful and charming as they are, we all know by now that the Kings in color are mesmerizing to behold! Thanks so much for your efforts to bring these back for people to see. 🥰
This was my favorite episode! My Dad made a reel-to-reel recording of it & we listened to it a lot! Loved every minute of it & so happy to now see the show again! Thank you for sharing:)
Thank you for posting this complete episode as well as the 1974 Christmas special recently. I have the two DVDs and love the short excerpts from the shows - but have wished for complete episodes. It is great you are posting them! Please post more - all if you are able to. I saw that there were unaired pilots when looking at Wikipedia: The King Family & Friends (1969), The King Family Circle (1970) (2 episodes taped), Those Were the Days (1970) (2 episodes taped). Does anyone have them? It would be great if they could be seen.
Thank you so much for posting this. Reminds me of my grandmother so much. Very comforting in these times. You are so blessed to be a part of a wholesome talented and Godly family.
I've been hoping one day to see a full episode of the King Family. I just barely remember the show, but I love all the clips I've seen from all of the King Family. Excited to see this!
Thank you Jennifer for posting a full king family show, I really enjoy watching your beautiful family. I hope you can post more. How’s your dear dad doing? I pray he’s doing well. Miss seeing you two cooking together. ♥️🙏 thank you again for blessing us with your family videos. 🥰
I liked this episode because it let me know who belongs to who. Please give us an update on Louise's kids, Liza, Rob, and Jon; good looking family. Also, how did Vonnie become the family spokesperson?
Hey Jen, what is little Stevo's story? He always looked like he didn't want to be there, while the other kiddies hamed it up -- especially Cam! Hey, Cam!
Stev-o always danced to the beat of his own drum. He just wasn't the ham that Cam, Susannah, and Larette were. Some kids eat up the spotlight, and some don't :)
I can tell you the oldest grandson was Billy King (Karleton's oldest son who did not make many appearances on the show) Followed by Tommy Thomas, then Lex de Azevedo then Tina Cole (this is per my dad). After that...too many...too hard ;)
Your father's right! This was originally telecast on April 24, 1965 (there's a promo for the following evening's "SUNDAY NIGHT MOVIE" {repeated from November 22, 1964} at 14:19).
The "McHALE'S NAVY" promo at 23:17 was later used to promote the series in syndication [minus the "ABC" tag at the end]; WNEW-TV in New York (which featured all the syndicated "King Family" specials, by the way) used it from 1966 through the early 1970's.
