Don't need the apostrophe. ( grammar police here 😅 ) Yep, loved Time Tunnel, at that time I really believed it would be possible some day. But after thinking about it I realized it's ( need the apostrophe here 😅 ) not possible. Say I went back in time and prevented my parents from ever meeting or having me. But then I would never have been able to go back in time to do this, right? 😅
I Loved "The Green Hornet" & "The Time Tunnel", Dad loved "The Wild Wild West" 1967, love to be 14 years old again. Plus Mom and Dad were still living.
USMC Vet, I was 7 in 1968. Those were the days . My parents and brother were alive, too. He was in the Vietnam War. Passed away in 2013 from diabetes and heart attacks. Thank you for your service.
@@Jaque1961 sorry about your parents, I know pain. Also sorry about your brother, Im sure you all were proud of your brother serving in Vietnam. Thank you, it was an honor to serve our great Nation.
The Wild, Wild West was my favorite show back then, making Friday night the most eagerly anticipated of the week for me. Still a great show all these years later.
Mine , as well. I wanted to be Illya Kuryaken for some time . With the British Invasion , he kind of fit my idols , like the Small Faces , Stones , Faces ... the accent , hair. Many , many years later , I'm a musician and an imaginary 🕵️♀️ secret agent.
Wow, just the start of the theme songs instantly transport your memories back to that time. Good or bad, it was definitely a small escape for a child to lose itself for a half hour to an hour. While we couldn't watch every one of them, there are certainly favourites that we still hold dear to us. Fred, you have become the keeper of many of the memories of the better times of our lives. Thank you, Fred.
My MeTV runs Buck Rogers in the 25th Century; Kolchak: The Night Stalker; Lost in Space; Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea; Land of the Giants; The Time Tunnel; The Invaders late Saturday night/Sunday morning - it's the best! I tape and watch all week!!
I liked the Avengers the best. It was so sixties stylish. I didn’t necessarily understand the dialog or plot at age 9 but I couldn’t get enough of Diana Rigg and the sophisticated English accents.
Fred, Friday nights were always special knowing the weekend was starting and no school next day. Not necessarily sleeping in on Saturdays but watching Saturday morning cartoons.
It truly was the best night in the best year for television - the problem was, so many great shows were on at the same time on different channels; pity we had no VCR's back then.
You know, all these shows exist. With a little preparation, I see no reason why we couldn't live stream a lineup like this 54 years to the minute they were originally broadcast.
All the rerun stations are doing great in the ratings, Antenna TV and Me TV and Decades TV they all started in 2009 when digital broadcasting became mandatory so all these new channels were able to broadcast over the airwaves and they needed shows to air so they all started buying the rights to air old shows and they are more fun to watch than any of the new shows they are great.
These are the shows from my childhood. I especially loved The Man from U.N.C.L.E. and The Green Hornet. I had the whole set of Green Hornet trading cards, which also meant lots of that lousy gum! LOL
This version of the Avengers theme was my favorite. Another great British show w/a decent theme was The Saint starring Roger Moore. But the show my Dad and I always looked forward to on Friday was Hogan's Heroes. As always, thanks Fred for bringing back some great memories!
I'm so glad I saw this collection on a Friday night, thanks Fred! My poor old man, he would've loved these western shows but between my older brother clamoring for The Man From Uncle and me & Time Tunnel..! Wasn't Star Trek on Friday nights too? Maybe in it's last season... 😋
The Time Tunnel, The Avengers, The Man From UNCLE, The Green Hornet, The Wild Wild West, all of them über cool shows. Pity I was just a toddler when they first ran. 👶 Thanks, FredFlix!
This is another one of the 1960-something videos where I learn more about what went on during my early life. :) I was 7 here, and had an 8-pm bedtime. I know some of these shows only by reputation. I loved the theme music to The Wild, Wild West, but found it really violent even when I was in high school watching reruns. I kept trying, though, because the gadgets were so cool.
A few years later, our Friday night lineup was solid ABC from one end to the other: Brady Bunch, Partridge Family, Odd Couple, Room 222 and Love American Style. The following year, they brought in the British show UFO at the late end of that to fill out the schedule.
We would make a Chef Boy-ar-dee Pizza, followed by some Jiffy Pop Popcorn! Wild, Wild West was my favorite of the bunch. This was right before Star Trek hit the scene and blew everybody's mind!
My older sisters & brother used to love The Wild Wild West & The Man From U.N.C.L.E., but at the same time didn't NBC have Friday Night at the Movies airing in 1967?
Fred... too bad your show wasn't on back in '67. I would have watched. It would have been cool to get a future perspective on the past, with a nostalgic twist. That would have really Time Tunneled my developing 13-year-old brain.
@@FredFlix I could probably stay up until 9pm on Fridays. It wasn't until I got my paper route, just two months before my 13th birthday, that I no longer had a bed time. Of course my parents failed to inform me that I didn't have a bed time anymore, so it was several months after my 13th birthday before I realized that I could stay up as late as I wanted as long as I got up for school the next morning.
@@FredFlix Right, but you're a little older than me, so your Friday night line-up would have been different. I was only 7 in 1967. However, I do have what I think would have made the best sci-fi TV show ever had it been made. Maybe you could do some kind of mashup? I think they should have combined the Time Tunnel with the $6 Million Man! Think of it. Steve Austin bouncing around from era to era using his bionics to save history. Just to make it more interesting Dr. Rudy Wells was trapped with him in time repairing is bionics which would break from time to time so he couldn't save the world until after Rudy somehow managed to repair his circuits back in history--what a show it could have been! Col. Steve Austin vs. Sampson--who would win?
@@usmc-veteran73-77 Ugh.. seriously. I was born in 77 but would've loved to be born in the 40s or 50s. I feel even worst for these and the next generations. They literally have NOTHING.
@@edyann Baby Boomers, (born 1945 to 1965) we had some great TV shows. Im considered a "Middle" Baby Boomer" I was born in 1955. A great time to be a kid.
@@Michael-Philip HORRIFIC. And I know that I'm a hypocrite because I'm here on yt and fb.. but I was raised playing hopscotch and watching Ghostwriter on PBS. And reading Judy Blume's childrens' books. The kids of today have nothing. They even want to ban Dr. Suess now, I've read! I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
Given that The Green Hornet came from the same people who brought us Batman, it comes as no surprise that the theme melody seems to repeat the title over and over.
@@1984potionlover I was commenting on how the lyrics to the Batman theme was "Batman...Batman...Batman." And how you could sing along with the Green Hornet theme by repeating "The Greeeeen Hornet, the green Green Hornet..."
Phyliss Dillar either had dirt on TV executives and or I missed everything about her. She had a few shows highlighting her " persona" and they all were putrid and unwatchable from the get get go.
It's rare someone mentions a TV show I've never even heard of! (well played, Frodrick!) But not familiar with 'Rango'. (A one-season-wonder?) All the rest I'd LOVE to watch on Nostalgia Television... If they'd actually show vintage TV & not 'Everyone Endures Raymond' or 'Old Worn-out Christine'! While we are on the subject... is there some reason they still aren't airing Sat AM programs on sat AM!?!
All of Tim Conway's TV shows lasted only 13 weeks (In fact, he had a vanity plate that had "13 WKS" on it. He never found longevity in TV until joining The Carol Burnett Show.
It seems that many of these shows, having 30-episode seasons, were hitting their season finales this week, including THAT GIRL and F-TROOP (its series finale) on Thursday, April 6. I thought Phyllis Diller's new show title & theme song were disappointments compared to THE PRUITTS OF SOUTHAMPTION w/ its great Vic Mizzy theme song, but it did have a few nice slapstick moments, like Phyllis taking a face-first fall into a bubble bath.
