I keep meaning to do more, but TH-cam has become a hassle with its "copyright infringement" nonsense for theme intros - I had to dispute at least a dozen for this video before it could be played, and who knows how many more notices may pop up in the days and even weeks ahead. I still get notices for videos I put up years ago. A motivation-dampener and waste of time to deal with when I could be churning out more videos instead. But I guess I'll still pump them out every now and then, and maybe might even hit some kind of productive stride. But thanks.
This was the the year I was born, and today is my mother’s 84th birthday! It’s a reminder that I am grateful to both of my parents for my place in this world... Your timing is impeccable and it’s amazing to look back at the world when I arrived into it. Great channel which deserves more subscribers sheerly for its historical significance...Thank you
Just turned 11 at that time,spent many weekends at my grandparents watching West & Hogan(grandpa loved that one),Occasionally watching Camp Runamuck & Hank.I could watch anything I wanted anytime EXCEPT Sat.night at 8:30 on ABC.Reserved for the grandparents.Thanks for this great memory!
I remember some of these shows being on days other than those you have. Either scheduling changes or my memory's failing... of course I was only about 5 years old at the time.. Thanks for posting.
Such memories!, A few not at all but so many can be watched on retro channels and since many haven't been seen in decades it's like new to me. I much prefer over what is on air now. 😊
I wasn't born yet when these shows ran. It would be decades before I got to see The FBI, The Man From UNCLE, Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea, The Wild Wild West & Get Smart.
Been a while but well worth the wait! As usual with any of these from before I was born, or was too young to appreciate TV, find myself wondering what my parents would have watched. Probably, barring THE FBI, nothing on ABC; Friday and Saturday probably CBS; Sunday, most likely NBC.
The introduction of "What's My Line?" was from the first show following the death of panelist Dorothy Kilgallen. That's why there was no introduction of the panel members, and the gentlemen were in suits instead of tuxedos.
Even though "ABC SCOPE" was scheduled on Saturday nights at 10:30pm(et), *NOT ONE MAJOR AFFILIATE BOTHERED TO SCHEDULE IT AT THAT HOUR.* Even WABC-TV in New York pre-empted it for syndicated programming {they presented "STEP THIS WAY", featuring Gretchen Wyler as hostess of a dance competition with celebrity judges, with dance steps for viewers}. Most stations scheduled "ABC SCOPE" on Sunday afternoons.
NBC was the only network scheduling "Full Color" programming in the 1965-'66 season, billing themselves as "The Full Color Network" (the exceptions were "I DREAM OF JEANNIE", "CONCENTRATION" in the daytime, and several of the "TUESDAY" and "SATURDAY NIGHT AT THE MOVIES"). CBS and ABC presented a "50/50" mix of color & black and white shows until they started presenting "all-color" programming in prime-time in September 1966.
4:19 I have always wondered if World War II vets actually watched shows like Court Marshal or Combat, especially those who experienced fighting first-hand. Or did armchair soldiers make shows like that successful?
Today they make the mistake of showing Secret Agent without the signature Johnny Rivers hit theme. I suspect many fans neglect reruns of this acclaimed series because of the absence of that dynamite trademark intro.
The Wild Wild West with Robert Conrad was an odd Western. No one road horses. 90% of the scenes were shot inside a studio. Mr Conrad always wore tight pants. It was a gay western.

Although you don’t download often, it’s always good to see one of these compilations. Keep up the good work!

@@RwDt09 do what I do stick them on archive.org and link them. I did that a number of years ago and haven't looked back

Finally the wait is over. You have no idea how happy these videos make me. God bless you.
I was an 8-year-old third grader back in the spring of '66. It was that spring that I became a fan of a Wednesday night show called Green Acres.
Oh dang, the irony of watching the Smothers Brothers intro just days after Tom Smothers passed in real life,

I love how Peter Falk grabs his rain coat from the car. Sound like someone else ?
1966- The best year for pop culture ever.
Thank you for this channel
5:20 - Wild Wild West - There's two versions of the opening credits. The other one has West hitting the woman.
So many down to earth good shows back then nothing like the junk that has been put out last three decades..
I don't know. Tammy, The Smothers Brothers Show, Hank & The Wackiest Ship In The Army leave a lot to be desired. 😒
All of those lasted one season.
The Farmer's Daughter was not good.
There was junk back then, and there are good shows now; it depends on your tastes.
I was 5 years old in 66. And now I think how odd it was having both black & white, and color programs back then.

I REMEMBER THIS
Trials Of O'Brien is really intriguing. Funny intro and great theme.
Just a lame lawyer show. 😒
It was too "quirky" for some viewers.
A little before my time, but that doesn't really matter. A lot of classic shows came from the weekend of '66.
That animated cave man show looks promising.

The Flintstones? 🦕
@@yvonnebuckley1740 , I totally agree. All I watch is ME TV, COZI TV, ANTENNA TV, H&I, DECADES.
It was in its final season. ABC cancelled it to make room for "THE GREEN HORNET" in September 1966.
I grew up on reruns of the Wild Wild West!
I wasn't born yet when these shows ran. It would be decades before I got to see The FBI, The Man From UNCLE, Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea, The Wild Wild West & Get Smart.
Thank you...nice to see new stuff by you.
1966... the last year of Cool.
I love these tv show theme songs l grown up watching these shows George chestnut
Some good televisions shows!!
Especially The Bell Telephone Hour. ☎️
I remember a lot of these shows.
huh, I didn't even know there was a smothers brothers sitcom, interesting
It didn't last more than a season.
@@luisreyes1963Got Republican knickers in twists.
@@marianparoo1544 It was their live CBS Comedy-Variety show in '68 that did that, bud. 😁

The FBI is one of the best intros
True that. 👍🏿
Cool man. Keep them coming.
The Saturday night at the movies was were I watched Come Back Little Sheba,
Oh, yeah, what a great season
I lived in
Cleveland, Ohio in nineteen sixty six.
The introduction of "What's My Line?" was from the first show following the death of panelist Dorothy Kilgallen. That's why there was no introduction of the panel members, and the gentlemen were in suits instead of tuxedos.
The takeaway from this is how long these intros are. Wow!
16:02 "All brought to you by...VIETNAM...!"

I believe the original Wild, Wild West intro had him hitting the woman, and it was changed to something more gentlemanly.
The reverse actually. th-cam.com/video/no8tvQ2EAfM/w-d-xo.html
It did, heck she was going to stab him. Loved that show!
Good Show!
Seems to me that the 1965-1966 season was the year of the Color TV transition, don't you?
Yes. We got our first color TV in 1966. Motorola, French Provincial, 25" inch screen. It seemed as though the repairman was there every week!

We got a Magnavox 1965.
24:45- "THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY presents....."
It was better with only three networks.
Nice

Where did you find some of those relics? 😃
Mostly TH-cam, some Daily Motion, odd ones here and there. It's all in punching the right keywords - and availability, of course.
@@RwDt09 ok amazing some of that stuff still exists
seems so many of the shows were some kind of Military or Government themed.
Today they make the mistake of showing Secret Agent without the signature Johnny Rivers hit theme. I suspect many fans neglect reruns of this acclaimed series because of the absence of that dynamite trademark intro.
Not sure, but didn't she run for office in the movie, instead of marrying him like in the tv show?
Why yes. Loretta Young was Katy Holstrum in the 1947 movie, The Farmer's Daughter.
Sammy Davis Jr wins.
In the end, he was cancelled in April 1966 {"HOGAN'S HEROES" and "GOMER PYLE- USMC" got bigger ratings}.
The Wild Wild West with Robert Conrad was an odd Western. No one road horses.
90% of the scenes were shot inside a studio. Mr Conrad always wore tight pants.
It was a gay western.
That's your opinion. It was a unique Western that was inspired by the spy craze of the 60's as the 2 heroes were Secret Service agents.
