Another great video. Johnny Carson was hilarious and it was a great show. Nothing like it since. I can still remember hearing my mother roar with laughter as I laid in bed trying to sleep.
The first season of Lost in Space was really wild. I still, get creeped out by The Magic Mirror. I remember crying at the ending. Thanks for the memories.
That RCA color T.V. Commercial had me going . Mom worked at a [big] TV station in St.Louis. When she finally bought a Color TV, it was an RCA . It wasn’t long before we were having problems with it. One of the Technicians [ who was sweet on mom] would come to fix it . Almost every time, he’d exclaim , “ why did you have to get an RCA❓ they are junk. Should have gotten a Zenith .” True. We were always having trouble with it. There’s another TV brand: Curtis-Mathis. The spokesman for the company was Frank “Junior “Coghlin, an excellent and very popular actor from the early 1920’s to 1941, and is best known for the Serial, “Captain Marvel “ , where he played Billy Batson. There is still one of his commercials on RU-vid. Curtis-Mathis. The most expensive television in America, and darn well worth it! 📻😁
There was a Curtis-Mathis plant about 30 minutes from our small town in East Texas. When I was a kid in the 1960s, several friends parents worked there.
I loved the Hawaii Five-0 promo for syndication! There was a great radio promo when The Family Channel ran Hawaii Five-0 on weeknights, using bits from the series. Thanks Fred for all the great videos!
Mick Sydney Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. I remember in the navy watching that with some guys that were crew members of a submarine. They were like "roll on the floor laughing " Real subs were nothing like that show. Remember "Kowalski" the one crewman who was always in the midst of every chaos or accident that occurred on the boat?😳
Thanks 😊. Great fun to watch . Memories........ and the flag at the end was a much needed reminder of how we used to respect ourselves and our country. Thanks again.
Some of my best creative writing was on a IBM Selectric typewriter. Loved the pie in the face gags with Johnny Carson Then the reminder of what used to play every night at the close of the broadcast day at the end. Why was TV so much better then?
We got a color TV around 1966. I was six years old and we had two channels to choose from. I used to sneak out of bed at night to watch "The Untouchables" which was considered to be too violent for kids.
Oh yeah, Johnny knew the power of a pie to the face, to make us laugh. And who is gonna make Frank get out of that phone booth?? Not even Superman would try. Great video.
That Hawaii Five-O guest list was quite something: Paul Williams, Loretta Swit, William Shatner, Ed Asner, Ricardo Montalban,Robert Vaughn(The Man From U.N.C.L.E.). There are others who I can't put a name to, perhaps someone else can fill in the gaps.
That Johnny Carson pie-in-the-face commercial sketch. Fallon should do that for today's lousy commercials. Allstate should protect you from Mayhem...SPLAT! It's Jake from State Farm...SPLAT! What's in your wallet...SPLAT!
Kellogg's sponsored "THE WOODY WOODPECKER SHOW" in weekly syndication from 1958 through '66. He appeared in "integrated" commercials for Rice Krispies during the program.....
I had my tonsils out when I was 6 during the run of The Woody Woodpecker Show. I asked to please let me wake up from the anesthesia in time to see the Woody Woodpecker Show. I did.
you must be in tv, your source stuff is only coming from someone who in production. i could be wrong. but these gems havent been out of the can in 50 years.
I liked the episode return to a hostile planet,in lost in space,but I wished it had a little more action,and this episode would also make a good movie,a space ship that that returns to earth in a time warp into the past
It's always a adventure watching your videos Fred they take me back home watching TV with my family, everybody was here then, making jiffy pop lol. Thanks FredFlix so much ❤👍💯
Yeah I was going to say the same thing...more than likely Adams had become a star with Get Smart and he probably wasn't free to do a cereal commercial..especially since his voice was so much a part of Max's character.
Hi Fred, may I inquire, where you found the national anthem part.. There has been video going around - showing that very piece slowed down. And in this one you can see it flash ( at .25 speed can't catch but glimpses ) subliminals to trust the govt.. & rebellion is not permitted. lol - as words change-
I slowed it down to .15 and the messages are clearly there. Gave me chills. True, it might have been faked. But given the tenor of the times and the fact that subliminal messages had been tried earlier on TV by the government, I'm not surprised.
Its nice to find an example on our own. I'm not positive this is the same exact one others have looked at. thanks Fred for posting all these videos I love them.
49jubilee sometimes stations had unscheduled sign offs and they had to put up cards saying "Please Stand By" or "Network Line Trouble " or something like that.
