Your opening shot of a t.v. dial is once again something out of the stone ages. Haven't seen it or used for centuries! The young kids of today wouldn't know what to do with it.
The wizard of oz was the reason my parents brought our first colour TV whenI was 4 in 1973 as my mum had never seen it in colour and my dad thought that was sad so he and I went out an got it ! Wonderful memories
Yeah, I saw "The Wizard of Oz" many times in B&W as a young kid. My recollection is that it aired annually on Thanksgiving night. Finally saw it in color in 1974, when Mom and Dad got a color set. Quite a revelation.
22:46 The longtime commercial narrator for TV Guide was Philadelphia radio announcer Taylor Grant, who also worked for Mutual Radio. FredFlix, your series of promo series for TV series is seriously great! What fun memories. Thanks!
We got our first colour tv when wizard of oz was shown on tv an I will never forget seeing the land of oz for the first time in colour it was magical to a 4 year old!
LOL! I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that perhaps he didn't think that such an "American" themed show would sell in Canada? IDK. P.S. I'm from Pittsburgh,PA and used to "DX" AM radio in the 1970's - Probably half of my Rock radio listening then came from radio stations whose call letters began with a "C"!
I watched "Love,American Style" as a kid as there was literally NO "adult supervision" of TV in our house. TV (and radio), unlike movies (or records) were not seen as a "restricted" media. I (being 10 and under..) didn't "get" all of the bits, but still thought it was funny. P.S. my mother encouraged me at a very early age to read the newspaper.(Good on her 👍❤") As far as anything naughty...It wasn't on TV (or the radio), But in the staid,old fashioned daily paper: The ads for certain "clubs" and YES, ads for "X" rated movies were (target marketing!) right in the Sports section of both of our city's dailes!
ABC was #1 in the mid to late 70s under Fred Silverman as head of Programming. He was an early adopter of using clips from shows and fast editing to make promos more exciting. For many years, promos were either nonexistent or were simply "slides" of show titles and times on the screen. He also was the first to beam the network logo for 7 seconds at the top of every hour. He really knew branding..
@@matthewbaduria that was later in the decade, around 1978 or so. CBS ruled until Mary Tyler Moore, Bob Newhart and Carol Burnett wrapped up at about the same time. Its salvation was NBC tanking when Fred Silverman moved from ABC and just completely lost his Midas touch. Fortunately they went from "Supertrain" and "Hello, Larry" to "Hill Street Blues" and "Cheers." That "NBSeeUs" season was a disaster. Every single new show they list was a bomb. None lasted the first season, or even half a season. Although John Belushi got mileage out of the line when he said "You'll be NBSeeing a lot of Frank (Zappa). And we're not CBSing you either!"
FredFlix, thanx for many great, memorable clips. Your choices at the end with the original Petticoat Junction closing titles and the Screen Gems “dancing needles” fanfare matches my own nostalgic tastes very closely.
The "Wizard of Oz" telecast dates to 1965 and was sponsored by Procter & Gamble which promoted it with Oz character hand puppets in some of their most popular products.
Gosh i remember seeing those Promos for The Sony and cher comedy hour That came on at 8.00pm Sunday night That was my Sunday night as a kid Back in 1976. The Sonny and Cher comedy hour Was a big deal for us kids Sunday night. Now i have the box set of The Sony and Cher comedy hour As well as the Tony Orlando and Dawn and i hardly ever watch them Thanks for posting this
The "first adult space adventure" was right at the time that the first generation of TV kids, having seen old Buck Rogers and Captain Video were just entering teenage/adulthood. Perfect timing.... It worked!
THE WAVERLY WONDERS came from Lorimar Productions, and was one of two scripts sent to Larry Hagman for consideration. As he felt more comfortable with comedy, Larry favored this one, but his wife convinced him to take a chance on the other offering...DALLAS.
@@FredFlix Sometimes those wives make choices that benefit their husbands like Jeanne Martin liking the song EVERYBODY LOVES SOMEBODY SOMETIME or Mary Livingstone ( Mrs. Jack Benny ) bringing attention to the voice of Dennis Day .
The Heart Fund PSA at 4:26 has a tune that sounds a lot like "Peter Gunn." Gotta be a Henry Mancini composition. Richard Burton in "Divorce His" and Elizabeth Taylor in "Divorce Hers?" Kinda hits close to home, doesn't it?
"Vulcanian" makes sense since he was FROM "Vulcan" - I'm from Pennsylvania and thus, a Pennsylvanian. To call me a "Pennsylvania" sounds odd., But somehow we are used to Spock being called a Vulcan. Language is weird.
Lol. I remember the guy working the movie camera animated intro. My personal favorite is the 1980s HBO Movie intro. I wish they had of Just updated it, with the same theme music, instead of getting rid of it entirely.
The music heard in the 1968 CBS Fall Promo for the premiere of " The Doris Day Show" was actually the main musical theme for the 1959 NBC-TV Christmas special, "Miracle on 34th Street", which starred Ed Wynn as Santa Claus. I remember the promo quite clearly. I first saw it in the summer of 1968 while my family and I were vacationing at Indian Rocks Beach, Fla. Does anyone know who did the song?
I remember when TV used to turn off at night, except for on the weekendswhen they used to have movies till dawn on channel 5 in The late show on channel 2
At 3:09 - Patti Page, Muskogee OK's gift to 1950s pop music. At 12:29 - Battlestar Galactica, aka Ben Cartwright in outer space. (It was either that or keep doing those dog food commercials...) 15:22 - "What You See on ABC, You'll Be Talking About Tomorrow!": "Hey did you see that new show on ABC last night?" "Yeah, that really sucked!" If I remember right, The Girl in My Life was really no more than a reworking of Queen for a Day. Most of those shows profiled in those "NB See Us" promos were cancelled pretty damn quickly.
His debut was the Joan Crawford segment of the NIGHT GALLERY TV-movie...by the time of DUEL he had directed episodes of MARCUS WELBY, M.D., THE NAME OF THE GAME (the futuristic "L.A. 2017" which friend George Lucas felt was a knockoff of his feature THX 1138, which hadn't been released yet) and the first COLUMBO that was part of the MYSTERY MOVIE wheel.
Most of the innovative ABC promos were from the 1970s . I do not think they do promos anymore . Todays young people may ask : What Is A Movie Of The Week ? .
FredFlick: Can you download and post: CBS-TV Fall 1971campaign: "CBS Where the Good times are": The complete sixty-second Returning Shows promo, and the CBS-TV 1971 Saturday Night Line-up?

I remember paper moon Tv show with jodie foster The Texas wheelers With jack Elam as the missing father and Gary bussie As Chucky wheeler who was head of the famly eversince his pa dissappeared then one day Hey its me yr loving daddy come Home to his loving children huh huh sadly those shows met an Early demise due to lack of ratings.
I remember "The Odd Couple ", "Love, American Style ", "The Partridge Family ", & "Bewitched ", as well as "The MOD Squad ", & many others, I don't think I saw "Room 222". Totally remember "The FBI "(the original )
I think we spent equal nights between 3,6 and 10. Excuse me ABC, CBS & NBC. With the exception of Saturday morning cartoons where I would flip channels, it drove my parents bonkers.
Hey Fred Flix ... do you, sir, have the New York City tv station bumber with the camera man dividing up into a dozen more cameramen? It was a super advanced idea back then. Best bumper off all time. Or maybe it was a pre-show bumper which I guess makes it something else. Might have been WOR tv
The technique, created by ABC, was called slit-scan cinematography. It was also used in the movie "2001: A Space Odyssey" in 1968. It was very advance for it's time and is still fascinating to me. I still love to watch the ABC Movie of Week opening.
LOL, ..."a star world.." I'm no rocket surgeon, but that, in astronomical terms makes no sense. Unless one is HOPING the audience thinks they hear "Star Wars"... I could be wrong. 😜
You know what I liked about the football back then, Erich. They actually played football, respected the flag and didn't make every little move a political debate
Okay, I'm confused... Columbo, and Baa Baa Black Sheep on the CBS Late movie? So they started out on CBS, then moved to NBC? Somebody straighten me out here.
Knowing what i know now About the partridge family Now one person sang in there own voice except David Cassidy the others Including Shirley Jones who was a singer in musicals They all had to mime To the Charles fox singers David Cassidy was the only one who sang in his own voice to me the partridge Family was bullshit i hate being lied to
Glad Star Trek picked clips from two of their dumbest episodes for promo, even with Kirk throwing rocks off Valesquez Rocks. Whenever I drive by I think of the episode where he fights the guy in the rubber suit...I mean, The Dreaded Gorgon!

I was the only one of my friends who got to see Love, American Style because I rarely had adult supervision.

It seems ABC really had the best promos in the 60's and early 70's. If they were in 3rd place for those years, they certainly didn't look like it!
Just as NBC's promos were memorable when they were 3rd a decade later...
@@tomservo56954 mostly cbs was in 3rd place behind abc and nbc,these two had got so many hits,while cbs had very little hits.

FredFlix. You got lots of great stuff. Takes me back to better days.
CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) had a deal with American TV networks to rebroadcast some of their shows north of the border.
Perhaps he was under the impression that such an "American" themed show didn't make it North?
I want to go back to this time....
I am sooo enjoying these. Thank you for posting!!

A space adventure? For adults? Like that would never work...
