Where The Action Is 1965 - Pilot Episode- Supremes, 4 Seasons, Jan & Dean, Chad & Jeremy, Raiders 

Great story Barbara sounds like you had a good full life. Thank you for sharing 😊

They drafted a man with a pregnant wife?

@@brockreynolds870 They also reduced the standards under what became Macnamara's Morons, aka lives worthy of sacrifice to maintain the loss of life algorithm and save college-bound Americans. In 1968 the death toll was 37,500. (and 3,750,000 Asians) Nixon told South Vietnam to cancel their Ceasefire due to be signed and if he won, he would make sure they won. 22,000 lives (+2,200,000 Asians) were sacrificed for a campaign tactic and 4 SCOTUS picks, one being Lewis Powell and his desire to kill the middle class.

@@brockreynolds870 it didn’t matter war is war i on the other hand enlisted in the military after the war I was too young anyway

Damn right! (Oops! Forgive me for swearing, lol). I am eternally grateful for having come of age in the 1960's and '70's. I try to somehow share that vibe with every young person I meet, which of course is EVERY person I meet.

Yes! Anybody around 75 today was and is very very Lucky for extremely very obvious reasons!

agree , the population of America was half of what it is today

@gypsijewel You’ll. Never. Get. Great. Music. Than. This, Everybody. Loves. The 60’s. Music,

Right on and far out! Still rockin at 68😎

I was 14 in Dallas in '65 and saw this show regularly so yeah, I think it was national.

Watched it in Ky. Loved the Raiders, Fang, one of the guitar players was a favorite.

Yes, that was the theme song when the regular series was being shown, not this song. I don't think this song was ever used on the real program.

Used to love listening to my older brothers and sister' records when I was a kid. I was fortunate to have a wife that also loved going to oldies concerts.

To Ms Fontaine : In '65, i was 18, & turned 19 y/o in September. Yes, '65 was a huge year ; Motown ruled , The Beatles & Beach Boys had hits all year long . In august, I met a girl , 14 y/o going on 35, who would change my life. -------------What a time it was .-----------------------------Wolfsky9, 74 y/o

Great, great , great year for music! Wish we could all go back sometimes.

@@suzannelawson9215 I was born in 1965--December, to be exact. Not two weeks after "Rubber Soul" was released. It was a pivotal year in rock. Now I'm going to be 55. Wow.

To Raina Moon, Just curious, as you were just born in 1965, how did you get into this music and this TV program?

@@suzannelawson9215 My high school years were 1980-84. I began listening to the radio in the late ‘70s from the age of 11. Disco reigned on the pop stations but there were hard rock stations. Matter of fact, as the ‘80s began, I don’t think I even heard the Beatles very much. It was more Jimi Hendrix, Cream, The Who, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd...My partner is 11 years older than I and turned me onto Dylan, the Beatles, etc. By the way, there’s a cool little search engine where you can find out which pop song was #1 on the day you were born. For me it was the Byrds’ “Turn! Turn! Turn!” and that is just perfect to enter the Earth plane with. For my partner it was “Mr. Sandman!” 🤣

Isn't that the truth, well said. :)

Absolutely. That's why I snuck in here. Where's the fondue?

@@shuroom57 Good one. The fondue is close to the potable libations adjacent to the chafing dish. LOL

@@dancerdon9175 let me get another Sterno thingy. The last pot got cool. :)

@@rustynailmendlesohn8710 you saved the fondue! WOOT :-)

Hip to the Bay City Rollers' version? I think they did it great! Check it out!

Those Goosebumps!

And the last appearance of Nick Massi......who walked away shortly after this.

Me too, with my two older sisters. Happy times. Wouldn't be young, growing up today for anything!

The classic Supremes here with Flo, Mary, and Diane.

RIP Florence Ballard & Mary Wilson.

I have read a young Ted Nugent was in a band that won a local contest and opportunities to open for Supremes and Beau Brummels.

what a talent. to think that he was also in medical school.

@@jackatkinson6760 Yes he was...until the accident.

Same!

I was 9,and a great "Swimmer",too! Never missed an episode!

I was Ten years old and I watched Where the action is all the time. The Supremes, four seasons where my favorites. This where I learned the pony, the jerk and the swim. Thanks for the great memories 😚

In San Antonio, it was "Captain Gus" hosting the afternoon Popeye show

I still have my skateboard from 1966. Rode it all the time. Had no fear in those days and didn't even wear knee pads. Rented surf board's at Santa Monica beach. Wasn't even a very good swimmer. Had no fear in those days. Sometimes hitch hiked with my friends,. Had no fear. I wouldn't do ANY of those thing's today. Would I be scared and full of fear? YES, YES AND YES.🤐

Whatever happened to jackie and gayle?

Love this! Great memories . Watched this in my moms Art Studio room on a small black and white with attached antenna - lol! Do the swim and mash potato ! !

Want to see a classic and MASSIVE " live " multi element production watch the grand opening of Disneyland 1) This is the background on building the park ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FmWYBFowvh0.html 2) This is the complete live gran opening show, NOTE: Clint Eastwood is a cowboy on a horse in the main street parade ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JuzrZET-3Ew.html

This was made at Santa Monica and Malibu beaches, and at Big Bear Lake Ski Resort in January 1965.

Like an episode of the Monkees.

My pleasure!

By 1968 the Monkees were an excellent live band. The evidence is on some bootlegs from that year.

Jersey baby!

@@johnsain Yep!

There is.

Time will erode most videos.

It's not a matter of time. It's a matter of how close your copy is to the master tape ​@@rascal211

This is all happening just as the first guys are being sent off to Vietnam...

Jackie(Miller) and Gayle(Caldwell) were former members of the New Christy Minstrels, a legendary folk group. Rest in peace, Gayle.

How did this show enable you to find out what your dad did for a living?

Amen. Flo was the group's founder.

@@kevingoins9858 And had the best voice!

Same year ('65), and maybe months, if not weeks, removed from this taping, I saw The Supremes open for Judy Garland at Houston's Astrodome in December, '65 (the Dome was about 8 months old at the time)! I was all of 10, and probably spent most of the night with my head on Mom's lap, but I was there!

@@bradsmack1 I read that the huge Astrodome was far from sold out that night. Do you recall?

@@akrenwinkle No way I can recall that, being so young. Mom's stories of that night through the years, plus my vague memory of the sights and sounds is about all I can conjure! That baseball season, though (the Astros' first in the Dome), 2,151,470 fans came through the gates for 81 games, second to the Dodgers (with 2,553,577) in all of baseball. That made the Astros' per-game average attendance of 26,561 also second to the Dodgers' 31,526. Don't know where you read about the low attendance for that show. According to Omeka.org, "The first concert at the Astrodome, Judy Garland's 1965 performance, attracted a crowd of 60,000 people, who paid prices ranging from $1.50 to $7.50 for seats." omeka.astrodomememories.org/exhibits/show/the-astrodome-at-50--spectacle/concerts-shows-sermons In fact, the Dome added some 12,000 seats for that show alone. If you're interested, I wrote about my many Dome memories (including the Garland show) about 6 years ago...you can read it here: therunnersports.com/houstons-astrodome-is-50-hats-off-to-the-grande-dame/

I love their medley! I found it on Spotify and listen to it all the time. They should’ve released it as a single in my opinion.

It's not as uncommon as you think. In the 1960's Agnes Nixon Wrote The Script for All My Children and NBC said "No!" so she went to the drawing board after leaving as a Writer for Guiding Light & Another World and created One Life to Live then after that show became successful she was asked to create a new Show it was All My Children and the rest is history.

That, and a few other "performances" from the pilot would eventually be shown in early episodes of the series.

Same thing happened to The Hollywood Squares. The pilot was taped at CBS in 1965. It was on the shelf for a year, NBC saw it, bought it, and the rest is history.

I stumbled on a 1957-58 high school personnel guide from Las Vegas High School. Incredibly, it list for the administration, faculty and students, their addresses and phone numbers. Toni Basil was a freshman that year-she famously (see the official video for her hit single 'Mickey') was a cheerleader. I checked out her given address in that guide last year-and realized how close it was to her father's (Louis Basil) then employer-Sahara Hotel/Casino. (orchestra leader for the Congo showroom)

Basil was 22 in 1965. "Mickey" was released in 1981, she was 38. She turned 77 this past September.

She attended Las Vegas High School
