This was a period when a ton of film stars were moving to TV - most of them unsuccessfully (Glenn Ford, Henry Fonda, Shirley MacLaine, Jimmy Stewart, etc.).
21:32 - The Doctors 21:45 - Love is a Many-Splendored Thing Nice to see very small portions of those two soaps. As far as I’m concerned from those two soaps, the only one that has some or all of it’s episodes archived is The Doctors (along with other well-known soaps like Dark Shadows, The Young and The Restless, etc.). Mr. Thomas, If you have or receive classic tapes that include footages (even complete episodes) of any daytime soaps (except Y&R which can be shared through the Internet Archive), Please feel free to share them here. Thank you! - Sincerely, Edwyn.
19:38 - The actress in the Arrid commercial could be Reva Rose. Reva was Lucy in the original production of "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown", and played the truckstop waitress in the classic Camay commercial with a moustache-less Avery Schreiber.
Thanks. I'm always hoping there will be a bit more soap content. Maybe there will be someday. This Dick Cavett episode original aired July 17, 1972. (I really liked the Waltons promo in this - such a novel idea)
The "television premiere" of "Our Mother's House"--mentioned in the CBS Late Movie promo starting around 28:30--was apparently on Tuesday, July 18th, 1972.
Eric John Magnuson I just noticed the 1972 video, with the Vin Scully thumbnail, has been removed. Would you happen to know why? I've been asking this question to others that are following the old channel surfing videos. I'm just hoping someone can tell me why it was taken down... Thanks.
There's a funny technical glitch at 25:33 as the Houston Astros' Lee May has his swing overlaid by the sound of a golf club swing from the following commercial.
I'd seen a couple of TV ads for Laura Scudder's potato chips when I was a kid in the '60s in the Boston area, but never was able to find a store that carried the chips. They were originally California based but it's possible they only marketed in certain sections of the country, not just out west.
I love it when the batter swings at the 25:34 mark, and you hear the swoosh of a golf club swing. I don't know if this was done intentionally by the person who recorded this as a practical joke or not, but it had me laughing big time!
Brett Somers and Charles Nelson Reilly are in the Tonight Show clip. That episode is from June 27, 1973. They may have been on to promote the premiere of the new Match Game '7X on CBS, which was supposed to premiere during that week, but Watergate pushed it to July 2 instead.
@@snowpeck Thank you for the correct airdate info. Since Antenna TV only repeats those Johnny Carson shows in which Johnny was the host, this makes the "guest host" shows (such as this one with Joey Bishop) much more rare, even though many or most of those "guest host" episodes are also included in the Carson archives. They apparently feel that the Carson-hosted episodes are more popular and/or better remembered.
Brett Sommers and Charles Nelson Reilly didn't appear on Match Game '73 until several weeks after it premiered. Richard Dawson was the only regular originally.
The lion in the Napoleon & Samantha clip is said to be the current MGM lion. “Major” was filmed for the logo in 1957 and had a short mane. It stands to reason that his mane filled in 15 years later.
44:05 Barbara Sinatra said the same thing about gin. When she saw Frank drinking it, she'd lock herself in her room. "Mister Marshall" was her lover, the fine actor Herbert Marshall, who had lost a leg in the first World War. Gloria did go on to write a book, likely with help because that book was a heavy lift. She set the record straight about Joe Kennedy, who ripped her off and did nothing for her career. Sadly, Gloria never survived "Norma Desmond," so iconic a role and performance that she could never be thought of as anything but a bat-shit crazy relic of the past. She was anything but.
11:56 Bobby Hunter was the boxer who was in prison for manslaughter. He almost made it to the Olympics while being incarcerated, but he was "beaten" by Tim Dement. His whereabouts are unknown.
Isn’t it amazing that if you’re 60+ you can remember these shows and commercials better than the reason you just walked into that room. I happen to be 60 and the short term is killing me Smalls!

It's Dick Wesson, telling us about whose on next week's "Wonderful World of Disney". Norman Rose is promoing "The Little People", a new sitcom. This was an unsuccessful attempt to return to Brian Keith to television following the cancellation of "Family Affair" (1966-71).
They used film footage of him driving different vehicles in the end credits in those years...Efrem Zimbalist, Jr.said doing that was an adventure, as those cars were pre-production prototypes literally held together with spit and bailing wire.

In the thread, you talked about going to the Giants game in '88 because your prom date went with someone else. Anyway, I can't believe it was removed. I hope it gets uploaded again soon... So frustrating! I'd love to know why it was removed.
@@oldiesgeek454 That's unfortunate. Sometimes, videos are taken down. Not sure if TH-cam is taking them down or the proprietor of the channel is doing so voluntarily, or by request from TH-cam, or by direct request from the actual copyright holder. The videos on this channel are uploaded by the gentleman who actually performs the video restoration. Sometimes his videos have been flagged for copyright reasons, especially if it's a prime time special with celebrities performing copyrighted songs, etc. I wonder if Major League Baseball or even the Dodgers organization itself had something to do with that, but that's odd because there wasn't much game action on the video from what I recall. Sometimes I have seen videos taken down and re-appearing a few weeks later. There was an aircheck of an episode of "Rhoda" (her wedding, which was one of the highest-rated episodes in sitcom history) which was down for a few weeks and then re-appeared. Perhaps in a future "vlog" installment, he can address the issue. This is one of my "go-to" channels on TH-cam because I grew up in the 1970s and it brings back childhood memories to see actual broadcast video from ABC, NBC, CBS, etc., from 40 and sometimes even 50 years ago, as it was originally broadcast. There is a video on here that was actually recorded off ABC from the day I was born in 1969. There are videos here of major historic events in the news, such as Watergate and the 1974 shootout in Los Angeles involving members of the Symbionese Liberation Army. Many of these videos literally are not available anywhere else as the networks and local affiliates erased much of their old videotape. Videotape was an expensive commodity and was re-used often. Some of this stuff literally has not been seen in almost 50 years. That is profoundly significant. Besides Obsolete Video, there are many, many other historical TV network and local station videos on TH-cam, which in my opinion should never be flagged or taken down because the historical/educational value outweighs copyright concerns, and I believe is perfectly allowed under the "fair use" guidelines.

It's confusing, but whenever he uses question marks like that, it means that he's unsure of what year within the decade the video comes from. Yes, I'd prefer if he said "197?" or "197x" instead.

That may be a function of the owner of the video tape recorder pausing and restarting the recording.
Wow, a Hires root beer ad. I haven't had or even seen Hires root beer since the mid-'90s. Do they even make it any more?

to television following the cancellation of "Family Affair" (1966-71).
Even with the #2 show as a lead-in, it couldn't beat THE PARTRIDGE FAMILY...
This must be from summer 1972, because of the "This Fall... NBC has It All" campaign.
Also, the promo starting around 3:50 is for the first season ('72-73) of what would eventually become (in its second season) The Brian Keith Show.
