FredFlix Good videos, brings back a lot of memories, I remember Saturday's, get up, eat breakfast, watch cartoons, then head out the door, I was very fortunate growing up, I grew up in very rural Louisiana, 80 acres, no cell phone, no computer, no iPad, nothing but the woods and a creek and just my imagination, all I needed, once again, thanks for the memories, keep up the good work, I subbed
I remember the test pattern, the star spangled banner, everything!! Fred you've done it again!!!! I was only a little 6 year old kid!! Thank you sooo much!!!
I turned 9 on October 2 that year. (I was born in 1957.) However, Wednesday nights that year were my Must-See TV nights because that's when my all-time favorite show, Green Acres, was on.
Oh gosh, I was only 2!(lol). Most of what's here I remember from reruns in the '70s, or some time later. Some I didn't see till the advent of RU-vid(lol).
I lived in the San Francisco Bay Area in '66. We had All Night Movies on Saturday night. So, I'd watch Movies all night and then go to bed when the sun came up. It was awesome!
Ahh, I remember Gunsmoke and Underdog and alot of the others I love Top Cat and his adventures. I will be 60 this year so alot of the videos that you show I remember. Like alot of the kids of the later '60's I couldn't wait for Saturday morning and all of the cartoons that came on. Keep them coming and I will keep watching.
My birthday. I turned twelve that day. And I lived for the CBS Saturday morning lineup. Frankenstein Junior and the Impossibles, Space Ghost, The New Adventures of Superman. Good times from WCSC.
I would definitely stay up for that double feature...if I weren't 10 years old at the time (rats!)...I actually watched "The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms" last week (thanks for that, TCM!)...I'll have to look for "The Creature with the Atom Brain" - that's "must-see TV" for me...didn't recognize one of the cartoons on the schedule, though...the one with the characters hiding in the dark...
Great stuff. How about some from the early 1970's for those of us who were 1 in 1966. Also, just a suggestion, how about the openings from famous nights on TV, example; ABC - Friday nights in 1970-73, or CBS - Saturday night in 1972, or NBC - Sunday Night in 1973-74. Those three particular nights I remember the whole family watching from 8 pm until I had to go to bed at 11. In a few years, I was old enough to stay up and watch NBC's Saturday Night at 11:30. One last thing was Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom on in 1966. I know it was on in the Philadelphia area right before The Wonderful World of Disney if the local NBC station didn't have a football game on that late in the afternoon. Thanks for all your efforts. Keep up the good work.
Here in Philadelphia, where I grew up at, I used to watch Sally Starr's Popeye Theater on Channel 6 after school when I was in third and fourth grade that year. She had on the Popeye, The Three Stooges, and The Funny Company cartoons. I even talked Batman and Three Stooges talk in third grade and Popeye talk in fourth grade. I also sang along to The Funny Company theme song BBC as well.
I'm lookin at all these shows in color, and I remember we didn't even have a color set in 1966. In fact, there were only 3 on our street! Dad went out and finally bought a color tv in 1968. Like most of our neighbors, we had the one set in the living room. The whole family sat there and watched weekly favorites like Bonanza, Get Smart(one of my Father's favorites), and many others. Thanks Fred it was nice to take a trip back for abit.
I was three years old then. I can't remember whether we had a color television. I'm guessing we did because my mom ruled the Roost. She had to go out every Saturday Night and she we were left with a sitter.
On Saturday night, CBC in the early 70's ran the Bugs Bunny-Roadrunner hour from 6-7 pm, and Hockey Night in Canada at 7. Needless to say, that meant the whole family downstairs eating dinner off TV tables, starting at about 5:55 pm! Theme songs for both shows still send shivers up my spine---and that's a good thing!
I can't believe your parents would let you sit around all day and watch tv plus almost all night. Mine would have made me go outside to play and bedtime was always at 9 o clock on Saturday nights. Eight on weekdays and nine on Friday's. We got up bright and early Sundays and went to church. When I was little we always went.to my grandparents house for Sunday dinner as they calledthe noon meal. It was fried chicken with either rice or mashed potatoes and green beans and my grandma's home canned pickled beets and a desert. Usually my father's favorite, German Chocolate cake. I preferred her canned peaches.
This video reminds me that I was beginning to outgrow cartoons by Oct '66, when I was 12. Mostly because I was realizing that the quality of the newer toons was vastly inferior to the classic Warner Bros & MGM cartoons that I still loved. And I loved the primetime shows of the era like Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, Mission Impossible, Lost in Space, Batman and The Wild, Wild West. Oh how I loved those fantasy action shows! And the classic sci-fi & horror films. What I think I miss most was the enthusiasm for playing with my friends, watching TV with family & friends, outings to parks & the beach, drive in movies and on & on. The innocence & enthusiasm. I still enjoy my current friends & our activities, but it's just not the same.
Zombie with the Atomic Brain. .. Starred Richard Denning. Later Mr Denning ( coming out of retirement) became famous for portraying the Governor on the original Hawai'i Five O
I used to watch those Popeye cartoons too.And The Three Stooges. I liked Underdog too. I liked The Jetsons too they used to show The Jetsons on Boomerang and Top Cat and Space Ghost too. I loved Flash Gordon serials. My whole family watched ABC Wide World Of Sports. Then the news. Then at 7, we watched The Lawrence Welk Show if we were at my grandparents. y later father loved The Jackie Gleason Show. Mission Impossible was way past my bedtime for years. I was just three years old in 1966. Didn't Gilligan's Island come on Saturday Night back then? I thought the wife of the president of CBS was the reason they canceled it after 1967? Because she was told they were going to cancel Gunsmoke?
If it was October 29 there would be one college football game on the tube.. That was three weeks before #1 Notre Dame and # 2 Michigan State would play to a 10-10 tie.
My local station had a saturday monster movie matinee. The Host was an erudite vampire too ugly to be seen...just his hand gestures as he introduced a 'tale of terror' to us, his honored guest. Too corny but I never missed it. great upload FredF thanks
All the boys in my neighborhood just loved the action cartoons. Me? I enjoyed cartoons like "Super 6" and the funnier cartoons. (Remember "The Mighty Heroes?" - rope man, cuckoo man tornado man, etc. Funny!) But I especially liked the old Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies cartoons, and the Fleisher Bros. (Betty Boop and Popeye, etc.) cartoons from the 1930's. I just had to laugh at the old science fiction monster movies that managed to scare me when I was about five or six.
@6:35 That is a Southern Pacific passenger train in "daylight colors".(red/orange) locomotives are,,, E7A,E7B,E7B. 510 of these were built by GM. SP got 15 of them and 3 are shown. There is only 1 in existence, in a Pa. museum.
I just realized after all these years that the diesel locomotive in "The Adventures of Superman" was a Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific passenger train of some kind.
What no Pro Wrestling on Saturday? At 10 years old in 1977 we watched 2 hours of Wrestling on Saturday. Mid Atlantic Championship Wrestling with Bob Caudle and World Wide Wrestling with Rich Landrum.
Oh yeah! My grandpa loved to watch his " wrasslin'" as he called it. He would sit at the edge of his easy chair cackling and clapping.when his men.won the match. My sister and I would watch too and tried to imitate the wrestling. My sister is younger, but could still pin me down try to put the sleeper hold on me. It's so funny now as I look back on it. We could have really damaged ourselves if we really did all of that stuff the wrestlers did.
Every time I play a complete theme, I risk RU-vid pulling or muting the video. Many of my videos never even show up. And worse, if I get two or three copyright strikes, the entire channel could be taken down.
a lot of good shows on there. any form Hanna barbera stuff is all good.. space ghost is back on as space ghost coast to coast. he's a talk show host on cartoon network. it's really good.
Amazing! Loved it. I'm guessing you were in the Central Time Zone at that age? I ask that because Wide World of Sports, I think, was on at 3 in San Diego. But, I watched every week. Also, Top Cat! I hadn't seen that open in years. A big smile on my face throughout.
Actually I was EST then (and really 12). And I was using that week's issue of TV Guide (with the Green Hornet on the cover) for all the programming info (it was EST as well). I'm glad you liked it, pastorearl1, because I'm making more as we speak. (or read and write)
If you were a Chicago boy...deduct 1 hour, and consider these local options to replace syndicated shows (in local time) is 7:00 WALLY GATOR 7:30 ROY ROGERS/GENE AUTRY (coin flip) 12:00 HOPPITY HOOPER (half hour delay for BANDSTAND) 1:00 Lunch time 1:30 MAVERICK 2:30 DENNIS THE MENACE 3:00 NFL COUNTDOWN WIDE WORLD today runs until 6 local 6:00 PACKERS HIGHLIGHTS (or dinner if one is a die-hard Bears fan) Prime time--the Honeymooners visit Ireland, Smart becomes a decoy so CONTROL can protect its code from KAOS, the IMF must un-rig a fixed voting machine, the Marshal and Festus loan a man money he loses to a gambler 10:00 Bedtime, or Canadian football until the one film a kid might like comes on, "Billy Budd", followed by "House of Frankenstein"
what about ABC's Saturday Morning lineup? (The Porky Pig Show (9:30/8:30 c), The King Kong Show (10:00/9:00 c), The Beatles (10:30/9:30 c), The New Casper Cartoon Show (11:00/10:00 c), The Milton the Monster Show (11:30/10:30 c), The Bugs Bunny Show (12:00/11:00 c), The Magilla Gorilla Show (12:30/11:30 c) ending with Hoppity Hopper (1:00/12:00 c)
Awesome, amazing. How in the world did you find the programming schedules? When Sea Hunt came on I knew that The Jackie Gleason Show came on next from memory.
I have in my collection a wonderful 6-issue mini-series, Batman '66 Meets John Steed & Emma Peel, co-published by DC Comics and Boom! Studios. One of my favorites.😊
Loved these cartoons, "Wide World", Gleason and "Get Smart"...and did you catch Gary Lewis on the "Super 6" theme, Johnny Nash on "Hercules" and Gary Owens on "Space Ghost"?
My Saturday was to get up at 8am have 8 bowls of cereal with a lot of surgar and by noon I would be outside sometimes I would have to pull weeds or mow the lawn. Dose anybody remember Johnny Quest?
Interesting and totally useless trivia, Bud Collyer did the voice of Superman in two sets of cartoons: in the 1940s and again in the 1960s - The New Adventures of Superman. He also did the voice of Superman on radio too. The narrator from radio is the same one who narrated the cartoons in the 60s.
I was almost 11 when these shows were on Being Canadian Saturday night In our house was always Hockey night in Canada You either watched te game or went to bed we had only one tv love these tv shows good times to grow up in
Here's the problem: On my videos in which I play the entire theme, I run the risk of having the video pulled or muted due to copyright infringement. If I run 30 seconds or under, it seems more safe.
