TV as it was years ago...Openings of the popular programs, most from Monday night prime time, with full commercials, including cigarette commercials that were banned in 1971. Shows ran on ABC, CBS, and NBC.
Actually I'm old enough to have been born into the world where many of those shows came from - and, unfortunately, I also live in the world of today. For anyone under 55, the differences are unfathomable.
Most of these ads and shows are from my earliest memories and earlier, but I will say this, at that time the themes and jingles were as much a part of the experience as the programs themselves. TV was still rather young and quite a novelty. These gems are as much a part of our history as any other moments of the era. What a great time to be alive, even with its faults, it was a gentler time.
my dad smoked for fifty year never go cancer but he did have a cough I never smoked I got a cough worse than he did , disease removed out of usa now are back
senorkaboom It's because a LOT of them smoked quite heavily... I recently read about how Chuck Conners ("The Rifleman") used to smoke almost non-stop all day, same with Johnny Carson.
I cancelled my cable about 7 years ago, and have been using an old set of rabbit ears ever since. I receive the signals for several FREE over-the-air networks, and still see a lot of these vintage programs.
Ah, the Frito bandito, I remember that! And I miss the shampoo's we had back then, smelled much better & didn't mess your hair up like this junk today. And I see cakes don't rise as high anymore, as the one in this vid. Born in '58, I miss those days....
I just found this Excellent Channel. I'm almost 65 ( AUGUST 12TH) I'd like to say that this Channel brings back but some Sweet Memories . Thank You so very much. I subscribed!
Wow these clips sure took me back to when I was a kid.... A load of beer and cigarette commercials though....Amazed at that.... Carling Black Label....don't see that much anymore...but ....PBR...still around....
it was the innocent yrs no violence no nudity every body got along as it showed on television. bring back shows with stories this is why I watch tcm all stories
joseph siano *No violence? What do you call westerns? Every little boy had a gun pretending to shoot his friends and violence against my people were being shown in large numbers on TV*
Kent were probably my favorite cig way back when! I switched brand in my 39 years of smoking, but stayed with kent longer, than any other. Probably 20 or more years!!!! And I'm still breathing?????
Jack war Micronite filters had asbestos in them. Really. When I started smoking, KOOL was the cigarette I chose. They made a snap, crackle, pop sound. I wonder how many insects the FDA allows in tobacco? KOOL had their share, that's for sure!
@@ontarioguy4707 Sorry to hear that everyone's body is different my grandfather smoked until he was 97 also drank a half pint of whiskey everyday like i said everyone is different
LOVED this video! I was just an itty bitty kid when these ads and shows were new, but, I still remember a lot of them. I don't know how, though. It was a lot of fun going way back into the past. Thanks!!! =)
this shit is so cool, i remember all of this stuff, i am 62, thanks for all the good memories, makes me hate the shit on tv now. i will watch the internet and get rid of tv.
I got rid of the TV in 2008. Haven't missed it since! RU-vid is thousand times more interesting, plus, I can always watch the occasional TV program on the net anyway. I especially love all the docs about anything one can think of that can be found on RU-vid. And every now and then, watching these old TV commercials is just too much fun, haha!
Don't get rid of the tv. I'm watching them on my tv right now through playstation 3. You can also log onto youtube through a streaming box like a Roku and log on to RU-vid from there.
Richard Woods T.V is just a brainwashing tool and they have you right in the comfort of your own home.. This is why most people can no longer think for themselves.. If it's on T.V it must be true.. 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I gave up television 10 years ago and I listen to the old radio productions now on audio c.d and find old stuff on RU-vid.. ☺☺
What fun it was reliving the old TV themes and some of those commercials! Though I never smoked cigarettes, those themes were sure catchy. I remember growing up as a kid in the golden age of TV. Once in a while, I find myself singing one of those old themes!
This was worth looking uo, just to see Dinah Shore sing, "See the USA in Your Chevrolet"! We would sing that on the playground. It shows that a good Madison Avenue jingle, will stay with you a lifetime!
Kissmy Asta "Go, go, go Goodyear!" Six syllables, twelve notes. It will remain in our minds forever. "You can trust you car..." I bet you know the rest of the jingle.
Ah, those classic beer commercials. Hamm's & Pabst Blue Ribbon are still available. Carling's Black Label Beer is only available in Great Britain & Canada.
All of the shows on here came out in 1962. The commercials (from their various years) were probably tossed in for the hell of it. I can't believe how many of these shows (much less the commercials) I recognized. Man, I am getting old.
Sugar Pops...SHOT WITH SUGAR!! Ahhh, a nice heaping bowl of sugar first thing in the morning, followed with a cigarette. Those were the days, my friend...
Tku 4 Ur Post. Plan on showing this vid at 1/2 time Super Bowl Party. Tks for the memories. Now I know why I stopped smoking and lying about living in Miami Beach! (Tks and smiles)
I do remember most of these shows/commercials. Television was great back then, yes in black n white!The horror pictures used the shadows and shades and made the TV Show/Movie very scary without even showing the deed! Many old time radio shows would use sound effects and the actors tone of voice, that would scare you into next Tuesday, they created an environment ,then let your mind take you away to cringe in fear, or to laugh! Turn the lights off!
This was a much better time! God, how I wish our country was like this now! (I even like the black & white). The Eisenhower/Kennedy years: how wonderful they were!
My father disparagingly referred to Clint Walker as "Mushmouth" in "Cheyenne", for way he talked. Thus my brother and I would sing "Mushmouth, Mushmouth" to the tune of the show's theme song.
The original metal Slinky made your hands smell bad when you handled it. It would very quickly get tangled and permanently kinked and bent, and then it wouldn't move anymore.
Kools were brutal; I only smoked them when I was hard up; I stuck with Salems and Newports. I had a friend that got hooked onto smoking UNFILTERED KOOLS. No, you don't even want to know...
Back in the day, I use to drink beer. And when I did it was always a Pabst Blue Ribbon. Best damn beer ever. All my friends who drank Bud and Miller use to laugh, well when they were out and I had beer, they'd sure come crawlin' wanting one of mine........
Still making PBR....What happened to Olympia....Burgermeister? Actually....Not very good stuff compared to what I enjoy these days... But...beer...kind of like...Do you prefer blondes, brunettes, or red heads...? And I always say, 'YES!'
As far as I know, I'm fairly sure they still make Oly, and probably Burgermeister, those names of beer that aren't too common anymore. A couple names you don't hear of anymore because they're now defunct are Falstaff and Fall City. Have you ever heard of Old Frothingslosh (the beer with the foam at the bottom)????
Can you IMAGINE a kid imitating a Gun and then the BANG BANG sound effect being aired today?? Also, notice how Drew Carey and Phil Collins look alike?? Both Price is Right hosts!! Glad to be a BOOMER!!
My sister would have loved to see this. She was 7 years older than I was and she was daft about US cowboy programmes like Cheyenne and Bronco. I had to laugh though at the adverts, especially "Cool Cigarettes" - "as cool and as clean as a breath of fresh air!" Don't know what air they were breathing in - New York smog?
