The Seeds were on an episode of, The Mothers in Law singing You're Pushing to Hard. Though the Grateful Dead were not on the tv show Dragnet, the famous or infamous episode of Blue Boy was inspired by an Acid Test concert when the Dead were in LA for a short period.
Yes!!! You did include the Beau Brummelstones! I always laugh when I think about that. Which is rather appropriate I suppose. Got to love the campy nature of that 60's/70's television. I hope it's ok, but I'd give honorable mention to the Cowsills. Even though they never appeared on the Partridge Family. The fact the series was based on them gives them major points in my book.
The Chad and Jeremy episode of Batman was a classic and was the first one that came to mind when I saw this subject. Leslie Gore was also in an episode of Batman, also an episode that had Catwoman in it. I had forgotten that Paul Revere and the Raiders were also in Batman, so that show had quite a lot of pop stars.
Frank Zappa made a guest appearance on an episode of The Monkees. In it, he and Mike Nesmith are having some fun before things get underway. Both are wearing wool hats; Nesmith has a fake mustache effectively creating a doppelganger effect.
That's one of my favorite episodes as it incorporates the older generation not understanding the younger's newer music, particularly their complaint of it being so loud.
The Bedbugs were actually The Factory, Lowell George's psychedelic band before Little Feat. Lowell did most of the talking on the F-Troop episode but Feat drummer Richie Hayward also had a speaking part. Here is a link to an incomplete episode of F-Troop (Feb 1967): th-cam.com/video/L2jgIQBzQZk/w-d-xo.html and a link to The Factory playing in the background on Gomer Pyle (March 1967): th-cam.com/video/YsSl7xOK2Qs/w-d-xo.html
Hi Matt, we live in Walla Walla Washington. Every year we have Adam West day. He grew up here. We even have a street named after him. Thought you’d find this bit of trivia interesting. Love your videos. I bet I’ve watched 30+ videos. Keep up the great work.
Oh my gosh! How do you even research something like this?! I just KNEW you would mention the Mosquitoes! But no clip! I always assumed it was a play on the Beatles because of the name, but you’re right they looked more like the Byrds. Also, an honorable mention would be Leslie Gore (even though she’s not a band) in Batman. th-cam.com/video/roeAhjkJFNQ/w-d-xo.html
Awesome Intro! I also recall the song “we’re going Way-Out” by The Way-Outs. I think it was The Flintstones (or Jetsons). Catchy tune! Great topic, though most of the songs played weren’t all that memorable (except Buffalo Springfield & Beau Brummels)
Davie Allan & The Arrows is simply fantastic. The two LPs that appeared in the video are great and the album Cycle-Delic Sounds is the fuzz-wahwah frying on a polluted summer day.
Fun! I'd like to see a Part 2! Also, I was expecting that you might talk about the Pebbles & Bamm Bamm classic "Open Up Your Heart (And Let the Sunshine In)" - an old song with unusually religious lyrics.
Jay Sebring Hair Stylist and Manson Family victim also did a cameo on the episode with Chad and Jeremy. I think he called himself Mr. Ocean Brings. He was playing their hairdresser.
For some reason I have always remembered the Shangri-Las when they appeared on 'I've Got a Secret', essentially promoting their just-released hit 'Leader of the Pack'. They acted out the intro to the song, which is simply dialog, and their secret was something like 'This is our new hit song'. Something like that anyway. This is a fascinating collection. Particularly interesting is seeing Buffalo Springfield on Mannix. Weird.
You may have already done it, as I'm new to your channel, but one of my favourite things from the 60's was some of the shows like Shindig, Where The Action Is, and Hullabaloo. There was really good groups on there, often after school. Of course later on there was Don Kirschner's Concerts and similar shows, but the after school stuff was really good.
Great post. Chad & Jeremy “ wonder what there doing tonight “ who can’t love the “ honey bees “ !!!! , but what about Jonny rivers “ secret agent man “ ? G’ day from Australia
Danny Hutton, in his pre Three Dog Night days, sang Roses And Rainbows on an episode of The Flintstones. Song was even released on the Hanna Barbara label, the company that produced The Flintstones.
I saw an episode of Petticoat Junction where the girls started their own group. "The Bugs" (?) Something like that. They actually covered "I Saw Her Standing There" and something else...pretty cool for an otherwise dull show.
Mannix!!!! He had the coolest cars on tv. Mike Connors was great in the early days of westerns on tv as a villain. I didn’t know about Davie Allan and I consider myself a Get Smart aficionado. Such cool crunchy guitar. I heard somewhere that despite their image they weren’t bikers . Again the peppermint trolley company on the Beverly hillbillies? No idea that happened. Speaking of the beau brummels they need a pop goes the 60s treatments. Oh man, I was hoping to see the seeds on, what was it, the in laws maybe?
Let me start by saying using the Mannix theme is Awsometacular!! You will probably cover this point, but didn't a few popular bands turn up in animation form on the Flintstones? 😎✌🏾...and watching this again later...you did cover it! Well done sir!✌🏾
The best joke from the Dick Van Dyke episode came shortly after that clip. "We aren't going to sleep until we become famous" "But you guys are famous" "Oh..........goodnight"
That episode of Gilligan's Island also features the ladies dancing to The Castaways hit, Liar, Liar. th-cam.com/video/S8rCy173y7Y/w-d-xo.htmlsi=sJbxGxCEOPvS3_dY
The Patty Duke Show was chalk full of notable guest stars throughout it three year run on ABC. here is a list of some of the guest stars who had appeared the ones who could sing as well as act. Frankie Avalon "How to Be Popular" 1963; "A Foggy Day in Brooklyn Heights" 1965 Kaye Ballard "The Perfect Teenager" 1964 Chad Stuart and Jeremy Clyde "Patty Pits Wits, Two Brits Hits" 1965 Kim Carnes "Patty Meets the Great Outdoors" 1965 Sammy Davis Jr. "Will the Real Sammy Davis Please Hang Up?" 1965 Jimmy Dean "The Songwriters" 1964 Troy Donahue "Operation: Tonsils" 1965 Dick Gautier "Anywhere I Hang My Horn Is Home" 1966 Robert Goulet "Don't Monkey with Mendel" 1965 Sal Mineo "Patty Meets a Celebrity" 1965 Estelle Parsons "The Con Artist" 1964 Frank Sinatra Jr. "Every Girl Should Be Married" 1965 Bobby Vinton "Patty and The Newspaper Game" 1965
Wow great choice for #1! Just as good as the Harlem Globetrotters VS the Robots episode! Lol was everyone on drugs in Hollywood back then? A resounding YES!!! Echo that in a reverb tank and put it through a tape delay!
And on GIDGET: Gidget and LaRue went to see their favorite band , The Gories. The Gories were never seen BUT Gidget and LaRue came back from the concert , dressed all in black w/ white face and black long Lily Munster / Mortica Adams wigs on. Like it was some proto GOTH band !!
Possibly the all-time best is the Other Half (featuring Randy Holden) on Mod Squad performing 'Oz Lee Eaves Drops'. Perhaps equalled by the Standells on the Bing Crosby Show playing live, including a killer unreleased track.
Indelible images and sounds of my puberty, highly inlfuenced by every one of these "shows". I loved them all. I remember the first season of Batman....was it tuesday nights? Probably the first show I was ever totally obsessed with, but by the movie it was cliche ;) We "grew up" fast, LOL
Great episode Matt! So glad you mentioned the Beau Brummelstones!! I remember seeing that as a kid and not knowing who they were at the time until hearing them on an oldies station years later. The Gilligan’s Island episode is a classic too…..thanks for sharing!
a lot of these episodes play into the fact that so many 60s tv shows had a "hippie" episode. who were also, often protrayed in exagerated form. on an early episode of "petticoat junction" the three original sisters (my god, lori sanders, was real nice) form a r&r singing group. but i don't think any r&r guest stars appeared. i only remember a few of these episodes you've mentioned. but, aside from chad and jeremy and the beau brummels, i always thought these tv show rock bands were actors playing musicians and lip sinking to made up tv-show songs. they always seemed a little too outrageous in appearence, too exagerated stereotypical 60s types, to be real. you trying to tell me the wellington's, there on "gilligan's island," aren't wearing wigs?
One of my all-time favorite genres/eras was psychedelic garage rock from about 1966-1968. Most of what I’ve found has been regional and mostly 45s. Do you know much of the history of this genre?
Get smart dance scene...that's Bobby Banas in the sunglasses, famed for creating The Nitty Gritty dance and appearing on Hullabaloo and films like West Side Story. He's still around!

Love the video. A bit of trivia on the “Honey Bees” - Mary Ann’s vocals were dubbed by Jackie DeShannon (of “What the World Needs Now is Love” fame). Recently lost Dawn Wells (Mary Ann) to COVID - may she RIP.
Please don't propogate the hoax. The world is ruining itself just fine without the tremendous help of the Plan/Scam. Even if the fine artisans of truth wikipedia proclaim it to be her cause of death. Wow, Jackie DeShannon. That's an amazing factoid.
Great compilation. Perhaps you could do one with solo artists but the only ones I cab think of at the moment are... Lesley Gore on "The Donna Reed Show" (final episode) and "Batman" Ann-Margret on "The Flintstones" ("Ann-Margrock") Tim Buckley on "The Monkees" (final episode)
Excellent video! But I'm disappointed that you didn't include the Seeds performing "Pushin' Too Hard" on The Mothers-In-Law. th-cam.com/video/HQWVHvjdfZw/w-d-xo.html
The only thing I can think of that is more cringeworthy are the disco episodes of the 1970s: Incredible Hulk, Wonder Woman, Charlies Angles, Chips, etc... Thanks for the comment!
Matt, I love your work and your reporting, but this rock and pop on 60's t.v. sitcoms is a HORROR SHOW. if you had pictures of me sitting in front of the tube watching it (which I know I did) they would have to put me on suicide watch. AND still, the Beatles sound great! But how did we get through it without going - - - um _ _ never mind.
The 60s were a great time for everyone with bands doing their idea of pop music, remember Boyce and Hart as well as The Peppermint Trolly Co I,m a big fan of the Beau Brummels since the early 80s thank you for the doc much appreciated Auckland New Zealand 2023
I realize that these series of casual documentaries are long over. I just discovered them. You’ve helped me clarify a lot of things - for instance, the Zombies catalogue - as well as filled out my knowledge about bands like the Turtles. But I wonder - have you done the Shangri Las? Not a band, but with a killer producer / songwriter. And they put out a lot of great music, some of which was incredibly innovative.
I haven't done them but they are certainly worthy of a group history. I have quite a pile of bands to do but the Shangri las are on my very long list! Thank you for the request.
Dawn Wells was gorgeous, but she couldn’t sing. So they brought in Jackie DeShannon to do the singing for her. Tina Louise & Natalie Schafer did their own voices.
Hi Matt .. I think it would be hilarious and quite beneficial to the men who grew up watching Gilligan’s Island, on doing a video of the age old question: who would you rather “have”, Ginger or Mary Ann? I know it’s been done numerous times, but not on this forum!lol
You notice early in the 1960s, the pop band fans featured beatniks, then nearer to the end it was "hippies" even though neither trope was necessarily true. And you couldn't have a "rock" scene without someone seeming halfway drug addled
I came in hoping for 2 groups. The Dillards got it. But was also hoping for Cory Wells and the Enemies, on the Beverly hillbillies. 1 out of 2 ain't bad.
Anybody remember that commercial in early to mid 70's where a girl singer with her band are practicing in her living room the band starts off with a 4 count and the music is loud and she starts singing ( yelling more like ) the words " Heavy heavy, you are very heavy ". The Mom is peeking thru her kitchen door at this and you can tell it's not her cup of tea, she closes the door to as much of the noise as she can, to enjoy her cup of coffee because it is a coffee commercial, when she opens the the door again it is to a close up of the singer ( her daughter I'm assuming ) belting out a " Wooooah ". I have tried to find this commercial online without any luck, anyone with info on this would be greatly appreciated because I liked this song.
Sorry for all the comments -- I came home sick today and a marathon of "Pop goes the 60s" was absolutely the right speed for me to play on my laptop in bed
The Seeds were on an episode of, The Mothers in Law singing You're Pushing to Hard. Though the Grateful Dead were not on the tv show Dragnet, the famous or infamous episode of Blue Boy was inspired by an Acid Test concert when the Dead were in LA for a short period.

I was just thinking about Lesley Gore's appearance on "Batman".
Chad & Jeremy singing "Distant shores". A very beautiful song, in my opinion!
Frank Zappa made a guest appearance on an episode of The Monkees. In it, he and Mike Nesmith are having some fun before things get underway. Both are wearing wool hats; Nesmith has a fake mustache effectively creating a doppelganger effect.
Don't forget Zappa leading a milk cow in Head!!!
Apparently Catwoman followed Chad and Jeremy to the Dick Van Dyke show..........I COULDN'T HEAR THEM SINGING ON THAT CLIP EITHER......
They packed everything on that 3 hr cruise including white go-go boots and a stereo that runs on magic electricity.
Another favorite is The Bedbugs on F-Troop, featuring Lowell George, later of Little Feat.
Wow, that is obscure! Thank for that factoid.
That's one of my favorite episodes as it incorporates the older generation not understanding the younger's newer music, particularly their complaint of it being so loud.

@@FeatnikSFThey appeared on an episode of Gomer Pyle as well. No speaking roles tho.
The Honey Bees rule, I wish they had released "You Need Us" as a single! Also a big fan of Chad & Jeremy, especially "Distant Shores" and more......
Another great one is the Factory (featuring Lowell George) on F-Troop, February 9, 1967... notable for having electric guitars in the 1860s.
Thanks for that - I didn't know that one!
They also appeared on an episode of Gomer Pyle. No speaking roles tho. Yeah, the F-Troop clip is pretty funny.
Your channel is great. I'm really getting addicted! You have a cool, mellow presentation style, and your production is excellent. Thank you!
Thank you, Jason. I appreciate you watching! More to come.

That was a fun episode. Leslie Gore did a great job. It was also a coup for the producers to get her at or near the height of her popularity.
Awesome Intro! I also recall the song “we’re going Way-Out” by The Way-Outs. I think it was The Flintstones (or Jetsons). Catchy tune! Great topic, though most of the songs played weren’t all that memorable (except Buffalo Springfield & Beau Brummels)

Davie Allan & The Arrows is simply fantastic. The two LPs that appeared in the video are great and the album Cycle-Delic Sounds is the fuzz-wahwah frying on a polluted summer day.
Their was another band on GET SMART called THE SACRED COWS that appeared on the show
What about Get Smarts Sacred Cows
Fun! I'd like to see a Part 2! Also, I was expecting that you might talk about the Pebbles & Bamm Bamm classic "Open Up Your Heart (And Let the Sunshine In)" - an old song with unusually religious lyrics.

Another great episode Matt !
My favorite is The Brummelstones , saw that when I was a kid on reruns of the Flinstones Keep up the great work!
For some reason I have always remembered the Shangri-Las when they appeared on 'I've Got a Secret', essentially promoting their just-released hit 'Leader of the Pack'. They acted out the intro to the song, which is simply dialog, and their secret was something like 'This is our new hit song'. Something like that anyway. This is a fascinating collection. Particularly interesting is seeing Buffalo Springfield on Mannix. Weird.
I didn't know that about the Shangri-La's - Thanks! I'll have to seek that out.
Take note: the cig Mannix was smoking was the legal variety. No loco weed for Mike!
First Band I saw live. Mary Weiss was the epitome of cool. Second band was The Young Rascals. I started young.
And the Shangri-Las' reaction when Robert Goulet rides on in a motorcycle is priceless.
The Wellingtons recorded the Gilligans Island theme.
Surprised you didn’t show the Seeds when they were on The Mothers in Law.
Yeah, several have mentioned that. Sorry to have missed it!
That clip of "Pushin' Too Hard" is great.
In the Mannix episode, isn't that Judy Carne dancing at 3:49?
That Mannix opening was downright hilarious. Damn I enjoy your show Matt!
You may have already done it, as I'm new to your channel, but one of my favourite things from the 60's was some of the shows like Shindig, Where The Action Is, and Hullabaloo.

Nicely done, especially for the MANNIX opening you created! Cool, man, cool!
Chad and Jeremy probably were confused by many with Peter and Gordon and vice versa.
As much as I love both groups, I STILL get their names mixed up if I'm not thinking. Thanks for the comment.
Boyce and Hart also appeared on Bewitched as I recall
Alice Cooper was on the " Snoop Sisters"
love the obscured copy of Graham Bond's "The Sound of '65" in your collection. great band, better lp!
I'd sure go to a "Honeybees" concert !
MaryAnn or Ginger?
I'll take Mrs. Howell every time.
Mrs. Howell had all the money 💰. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
This was really fun. Original, too. I don't think I've ever seen anyone compile these 60s band appearances.

Not yet but they are certainly on my very long list!
The Patty Duke Show was chalk full of notable guest stars throughout it three year run on ABC.

MIA: The Seeds lip-syncing to 'Pushin' Too Hard' on 'The Mothers-In-Law'. Lesley Gore as one of Catwoman's crew with 'California Nights'.
Only then could things be so goofy. Plus I love how VOX instruments and amps appeared in so many of these shows, great product placement!
Wow great choice for #1! Just as good as the Harlem Globetrotters VS the Robots episode! Lol was everyone on drugs in Hollywood back then? A resounding YES!!! Echo that in a reverb tank and put it through a tape delay!
And on GIDGET: Gidget and LaRue went to see their favorite band , The Gories. The Gories were never seen BUT Gidget and LaRue came back from the concert , dressed all in black w/ white face and black long Lily Munster / Mortica Adams wigs on. Like it was some proto GOTH band !!
Possibly the all-time best is the Other Half (featuring Randy Holden) on Mod Squad performing 'Oz Lee Eaves Drops'. Perhaps equalled by the Standells on the Bing Crosby Show playing live, including a killer unreleased track.
I'll have to check those both out!

Most of what I’ve found has been regional and mostly 45s.

Can't forget about Every Mother's Son singing "Come On Down To My Boat" on The Man From U.N.C.L.E. I believe the was a big fight scene going on!

Great job, Matt, that was fun, check out 'The Seeds' on 'The Mother's In-Law' if you get the chance...
A lot of Fender, Gretsch and Vox! Even The Arrows were playing Fenders, not Mosrites.

There's nothing much more cringeworthy than TV series and films half heartedly trying to be "with it" in the 1960s :D
The only thing I can think of that is more cringeworthy are the disco episodes of the 1970s: Incredible Hulk, Wonder Woman, Charlies Angles, Chips, etc... Thanks for the comment!
Glad someone else said it. The only one I remotely thought was good was Chad and Jeremy on the DVD show. At least they were goofy as shown here
Thanks for this 'fab' compilation!
Matt, I love your work and your reporting, but this rock and pop on 60's t.v. sitcoms is a HORROR SHOW. if you had pictures of me sitting in front of the tube
watching it (which I know I did) they would have to put me on suicide watch. AND still, the Beatles sound great! But how did we get through it without going - - - um _ _
never mind.
Hey Gary - this was just a fun detour into the ridiculousness of 1960s TV, which is often fun to look back on. I appreciate your comments and support.
The 60s were a great time for everyone with bands doing their idea of pop music, remember Boyce and Hart as well as The Peppermint Trolly Co I,m a big fan of the Beau Brummels since the early 80s thank you for the doc much appreciated Auckland New Zealand 2023
Thank you, Bryan!
I realize that these series of casual documentaries are long over. I just discovered them. You’ve helped me clarify a lot of things - for instance, the Zombies catalogue - as well as filled out my knowledge about bands like the Turtles. But I wonder - have you done the Shangri Las? Not a band, but with a killer producer / songwriter. And they put out a lot of great music, some of which was incredibly innovative.
I haven't done them but they are certainly worthy of a group history. I have quite a pile of bands to do but the Shangri las are on my very long list! Thank you for the request.
Another good one is Pillory playing "Tear Drop City" on Peyton Place! Great channel!
Dawn Wells was gorgeous, but she couldn’t sing. So they brought in Jackie DeShannon to do the singing for her. Tina Louise & Natalie Schafer did their own voices.
I didn't know that about DeShannon! Thanks for that info, Greg.
What !
No cartoon Beatles ?
Hi Matt .. I think it would be hilarious and quite beneficial to the men who grew up watching Gilligan’s Island, on doing a video of the age old question: who would you rather “have”, Ginger or Mary Ann?
I know it’s been done numerous times, but not on this forum!lol
That Idea has crossed my mind. I actually have a theory as to why Mary Ann wins the straight up competition. Great suggestion.
Also, peppermint trolley was on mannix too.....
How bout Leslie Gore on Batman....California Nights....
My favorite Lesley Gore song was it's my party. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
You notice early in the 1960s, the pop band fans featured beatniks, then nearer to the end it was "hippies" even though neither trope was necessarily true. And you couldn't have a "rock" scene without someone seeming halfway drug addled
My fave was Mr. Epps from The Beverly Hillbillies!
Davie Allan & The Arrows are far from obscure.
"make a scene...bump off the dean" get smart?
I came in hoping for 2 groups. The Dillards got it. But was also hoping for Cory Wells and the Enemies, on the Beverly hillbillies. 1 out of 2 ain't bad.
Ooo, I missed that one. Thanks for letting me know about it, Ken.
Anybody remember that commercial in early to mid 70's where a girl singer with her band are practicing in her living room the band starts off with a 4 count and the music is loud and she starts singing ( yelling more like ) the words " Heavy heavy, you are very heavy ". The Mom is peeking thru her kitchen door at this and you can tell it's not her cup of tea, she closes the door to as much of the noise as she can, to enjoy her cup of coffee because it is a coffee commercial, when she opens the the door again it is to a close up of the singer ( her daughter I'm assuming ) belting out a " Wooooah ". I have tried to find this commercial online without any luck, anyone with info on this would be greatly appreciated because I liked this song.
I don’t remember that one but I’ll have a look for it as well.
@VonZipper: l totally recall that great commercial, l believe it was for Yuban coffee. I tried searching for it, no luck.
Is it weird that when Jeannie was getting the band started, I thought Phil Specter was reaching for a gun 😮??
I never noticed that!
Sorry for all the comments -- I came home sick today and a marathon of "Pop goes the 60s" was absolutely the right speed for me to play on my laptop in bed
I hope these vides are the antidote!
was the Buffalo Springfield track played live?
Yes, they are on my very long list!
Surprise you didn’t add the Mindbenders from to Sir love
It’s getting harder all the time
That's a movie. I was only featuring television shows.
