I keep meaning to do more, but RU-vid has become a hassle with its "copyright infringement" nonsense for theme intros - I had to dispute at least a dozen for this video before it could be played, and who knows how many more notices may pop up in the days and even weeks ahead. I still get notices for videos I put up years ago. A motivation-dampener and waste of time to deal with when I could be churning out more videos instead. But I guess I'll still pump them out every now and then, and maybe might even hit some kind of productive stride. But thanks.
This was the the year I was born, and today is my mother’s 84th birthday! It’s a reminder that I am grateful to both of my parents for my place in this world... Your timing is impeccable and it’s amazing to look back at the world when I arrived into it. Great channel which deserves more subscribers sheerly for its historical significance...Thank you
Just turned 11 at that time,spent many weekends at my grandparents watching West & Hogan(grandpa loved that one),Occasionally watching Camp Runamuck & Hank.I could watch anything I wanted anytime EXCEPT Sat.night at 8:30 on ABC.Reserved for the grandparents.Thanks for this great memory!
Such memories!, A few not at all but so many can be watched on retro channels and since many haven't been seen in decades it's like new to me. I much prefer over what is on air now. 😊
I remember some of these shows being on days other than those you have. Either scheduling changes or my memory's failing... of course I was only about 5 years old at the time.. Thanks for posting.
I wasn't born yet when these shows ran. It would be decades before I got to see The FBI, The Man From UNCLE, Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea, The Wild Wild West & Get Smart.
Been a while but well worth the wait! As usual with any of these from before I was born, or was too young to appreciate TV, find myself wondering what my parents would have watched. Probably, barring THE FBI, nothing on ABC; Friday and Saturday probably CBS; Sunday, most likely NBC.
The introduction of "What's My Line?" was from the first show following the death of panelist Dorothy Kilgallen. That's why there was no introduction of the panel members, and the gentlemen were in suits instead of tuxedos.
Even though "ABC SCOPE" was scheduled on Saturday nights at 10:30pm(et), *NOT ONE MAJOR AFFILIATE BOTHERED TO SCHEDULE IT AT THAT HOUR.* Even WABC-TV in New York pre-empted it for syndicated programming {they presented "STEP THIS WAY", featuring Gretchen Wyler as hostess of a dance competition with celebrity judges, with dance steps for viewers}. Most stations scheduled "ABC SCOPE" on Sunday afternoons.
NBC was the only network scheduling "Full Color" programming in the 1965-'66 season, billing themselves as "The Full Color Network" (the exceptions were "I DREAM OF JEANNIE", "CONCENTRATION" in the daytime, and several of the "TUESDAY" and "SATURDAY NIGHT AT THE MOVIES"). CBS and ABC presented a "50/50" mix of color & black and white shows until they started presenting "all-color" programming in prime-time in September 1966.
4:19 I have always wondered if World War II vets actually watched shows like Court Marshal or Combat, especially those who experienced fighting first-hand. Or did armchair soldiers make shows like that successful?
Today they make the mistake of showing Secret Agent without the signature Johnny Rivers hit theme. I suspect many fans neglect reruns of this acclaimed series because of the absence of that dynamite trademark intro.
The Wild Wild West with Robert Conrad was an odd Western. No one road horses. 90% of the scenes were shot inside a studio. Mr Conrad always wore tight pants. It was a gay western.
