- If you don't see your favorite show here, don't hate me. As with most channelings, such as "spirit channelings," the ghosts of TV past give out much information, but not all knowledge.

Candid Camera, in my opinion, was TV's first reality show.
I spent hours and hours watching these great old TV shows.
Who ever was involved with putting all the show intros on you tube I thank you very very much. I am 68 so I relate to 90% of these shows. I wish some of them ran a little longer but I'm sure I can find some full length episodes here on you tube. Again thanks for thee memories RD
You're welcome. Sometimes if I run longer clips they get taken down due to copyright issues.
WOULD BE NICE TO GO BACK IN TIME.
The more I see Richard Boone, the more I admire this remarkably talented man.
So far I remember about a third of these shows.
METV has shown many of them. HandI plus Get TV have shown others? SO Wonderful to remember when the World was an easier place to live?
It's so nice that there are people out there who remember what I remember! Whether we were rich kids or poor kids, I think our childhoods were the best. BTW - I think the Flintstones were at first targeted to an adult audience. I do remember the cigarette ads for the Flintstones. (Understandably, a big no-no today!) I loved hearing the theme songs for the westerns I was not old enough to understand or stay up to watch. I used to hear what Mom and Dad were watching through the heat vent in the floor of the kids' upstairs bedroom. TV back then (even the commercials!), whether I watched it or could only hear it from upstairs, was a cozy experience for me. Anyhow, thanks, man!
You're welcome, Nora.
Mr. Novak has just been issued on dvd if anyone is looking to add it to their collection!
At 11:31 I remember this episode of GE True when I was a child . The policeman was by himself no radio . The policeman held a gun on a gang of criminals for so many hours with the people refusing to call for other police . The narration repeated the comparative weight of the policeman's gun as the hours drome by until someone finally called for help. I recalled it was a woman . One of the outlaw gang fell out on that hot summer day. i guess that was the beginning of two policeman in a car . i did not know Mr. Star Trek co wrote this story. It really stuck with me . GE True was a successor to The GE Theater which was first of many CBS Sunday shows which bit the dust opposite NBCs Bonanza .
Ah-mahzing !! Thank you FredFlix!!!!
Fred, this incredible video belongs in the Television Museum because it's a tremendous Masterpiece of work!! The best compilation of early '60s tv out there, bar none!
I totally agree
This is really awesome. Did they show Route 66? If they did I missed it. Or Cannonball?
I wasn't quite born yet in 1963. 1966 I came into this world and grew up watching Adam 12, Emergency, Six Million Dollar Man.
Yeah Lost in Space, Star Trek , Bionic Woman, Space 1999, UFO, Land of the Lost.. The toys were the best.
Same here, but still like the older stuff, too.
Ben Casey. Those doors swinging open! In 1963 I was 8. We still had a black and white set. Later my Aunt got a color TV. We’d go over on Sunday nights for dinner and Disney, Flipper, The Flintstones in Colorado. It was so beautiful and exciting!
We always called him The Six Cent Man.
@@DVincentW Lost in Space I watched because it was camp before I'd ever heard the term camp.
This compilation shows how many obscure and forgotten TV series there were in the past - very few lasted long enough to be syndicated, let alone rebroadcast for years. For every "Gilligan's Island" or "I Dream of Jeannie" or "Bewitched" there would've been scores of other titles that are now forgotten.
hebneh - Do you remember "Hey, Landlord!"? Unlike other shows produced by Garry Marshall, it wasn't on the air too long; but somehow, Channel 9 kept showing it in syndication. Yes, I always liked it.
One of its episodes was copied by "Laverne and Shirley", when the 2 landlords were experimented on: at the end, one of them was eating alot, and the other one was sleeping alot!
I feel like my childhood just flashed before my eyes!
The Bugs Bunny opening titles were animated by Warner Brother's own Virgil Ross and Lee Holley.
FREDFLIX, you're the best.
Man you are putting together some great great great gems ❕❕❕❕
Thanks, Larry.
FredFlix thank YOU❕
Loved Lloyd Bridges and Sea Hunt, late on Saturday night. I still have my slinky with original box. I've used it as objet d'art.
We watched "Sea Hunt" quite alot, and we called Lloyd "The Bubble Man", because he's able to talk, and blow bubbles at the same time!
That's Johnny Olsen (Price Is Right) doing the intro for The Jackie Gleason Show.
The Beverly Hillbillies Movie: I like the one scene where Jed and jethro were stopped at a traffic light and some hoods drove up next to them , stuck a revolver out their window. Where upon Jed showed them his shotgun saying "Wanna see mine?" The guys in the car quickly drove away!
"THE BEVERLLY HILLBILLIES" movie was AWFUL!!!!
It would reason that a Caucasian male would find that scene funny.
@@starey1 I watched "The Beverly Hillbillies" movie on my tablet, it wasn't so bad. But for a long time, I didn't know, Buddy Ebsen is in that movie too - but he's playing Barnaby Jones!
Programs like the Chrysler Theatre and The Richard Boone Show were great but would never get an audience today.
The introduction to "Ben Casey" scared the p--- out of me.
When Ben Casey theme started it was time to send me upstairs to bed.
With me, it was Perry Mason.
Dragnet scared me
Fred, as a guy that is your age (born 1954) I thank you for the great videos. I watch your stuff to readjust my sensibilities while I am cooking dinner. Thank you, keep it up.
Will do and I appreciate it, Marcus.
@@FredFlix Starting at 39:55, that cartoon Danny Thomas is one of the very few things I remember from TV, in the early 1960s - through the 1960s Kelloggs cereal sponsored several TV.programs (including My Three Sons) but Danny Thomas was sponsored by Post cereal.
Couldn't you save "The Life of Riley" TV programs IN THE 1960S? The beginning, Riley was falling out of his hammock, every week! His wife Peg, son Junior, and neighbor (Sterling Hollowly) were always trying to drive him crazy! As a little kid I used to laugh at it so hard, then Bendix died and it was suddenly off the air - another program took its place, no reruns, nothing.
I meant Holloway.
And Ernie Kovacs went off the air too, no reruns at all.
Whenever I was a kid, I would watch reruns of "The Alvin Show" on Nickelodeon. I remember the show's theme song very well!
The Kennedy years. What amazing times! :)
General Foods {Post cereals} sponsored "THE BUGS BUNNY SHOW" on ABC in its original prime-time run. The 1960 "integrated" Alpha-Bits commercial also features Hal Smith as "Elmer".
...Because the original "Elmer"---Arthur Q. Bryan had just died.
The Chrysler Theatre: Music by Johnny (John) Williams
I love the sponsor tag for The Alfred Hitchcock Hour and Ripcord and The Andy Griffith Show..delicious
Jeez Fred, I’m 61, and never heard of some of these shows. But we only had one tv, in Atlanta. It was in our parents bedroom. Mostly my brother and I were wreaking havoc on something.
Great job.
I loved the Bugs Bunny Show so much I named my bird Tweety
Dam, I want to watch some of these shows. They look good.
Wow so many memories Fred, thanks again for a wonderful video.So many programs I'd completely forgotten about,and some new ones I'd never seen before! The cigarette ads crack me up! Gonna put your show up on the big TV for everyone to watch tonight,better than most modern day shows,thanks again.
My pleasure, Margaret.
I remember a lot of these shows from when I was little part of my childhood memories this was a great share 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
The most watched episode was the final two parter for the Fugitive,w hen we see the one-armed man is a real guy, that the relentless Gerard is proven wrong. And Kimball finally, finally...receives justice.
Do you mean the part - Gerald is finally looking at the ACTUAL one-armed man and saying to him " Did you kill Helen Kimble? ".
Everybody in my school talked about it. Unfortunately, my HARDHEADED GRANDMOTHER only watched channel 2.
Didn't see those episodes till 1990! SHEESH.
Our whole family was glued to the TV
@@sallygomez8799 Did you watch "The Ed Sullivan Show " every Sunday night, like we did? I thought it would stay on the air, forever.
I want to know, what's the earliest TV Guide cover do you remember? The earliest one that I know of, is a 1959 cover with a caricature of Milton Berle on it, and a pink background.
The program, "Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour" ,guest starring Milton Berle, shows him near the beginning sitting at his desk with a large version of this cover behind him framed (and b/w, of course)!
And no, unfortunately we didn't save it.
@@bobbyfrancis8957 If you have MeTV, The Ed Sullivan Show is on at 10 pm Sundays.
This was television at its peak! At 37:37 starts two of my fondest tv memories on Sunday nights: "Candid Camera" and "What's My Line?" The 1959-60 season was the final year for Robert Young and others in his "Father Knows Best" (1954-60) series. So, it barely makes Fred's list of 1960-63 shows. 1960 was also the last year for the memorable kid's show, "Howdy Doody" (Dec. 1947-Sep. 1960) in its 13-year run. I loved watching that show, at the time it was on Saturday mornings only, from its original Tue-Thu-Sat. and then M-F afternoon showings. At 40:35 is "Password" one of my favorite tv game shows.
Ah, 1963. Back in the days when the tunas were just lining up to fill our bellies.
"Overture, curtains, lights,
This is it, the night of nights.
No more rehearsing and nursing a part,
We know every part by heart!
Overture, curtains, lights
This is it, you'll hit the heights.
And, oh what heights we'll hit,
On with the show this is it!
[instrumental break]
Tonight what heights we'll hit
On with the show this is it!"
Jerry Seinfeld remembers those great lines (at 0:25) from the introduction to the Bugs Bunny Show, just as he does "The Adventures of Superman" or "The Abbott & Costello Show." th-cam.com/video/F-t8PngHgWY/w-d-xo.html (Bugs Bunny Theme: This is it)
Geez, you came up with a lot of titles I'd never heard of.
Hey Fred! I know I tell you this all the time.. but, honestly, this video is TRULY one of your finest of all! In fact, I'm gonna watch it again, right now!
Glad to hear it, Nunetc!
Ahhhhh, the Days when an ICBM was a must have on the kids Gift list, the Industrial Military (Toy) Complex at it's finest.......
This is amazing cool to me... if I had the funds I would actually donate to this place
Your appreciation is all that's required, Robin.
@@FredFlix When it was NEW, we watched "I'm Dickens, he's Fenster " every week. I thought it was pretty funny then. They would start on a job, Dickens did it well, but Fenster would always mess it up! I only remember a paint job they were doing - Dickens had a pail, or a bucket of paint over his head? Didn't last very long.
Question: How did the many years (1948-80) with only 3 major networks, and maybe an Independent station in your city, come up with so many brilliant and well-remembered series, compared to 250+ networks and tens of thousands of series since 1981, with hardly any remembered so fondly?
There was Dumont too in esrly 50’s.
@@garyfrancis6193 True. But I believe it was not around when I started watching television in the late-1950s.
And very appropriate to end with Cronkite with the news, marking the ending of an era, the start of another.
That final year of 77 Sunset Strip (1963-64) was a terrible year for that series. They eliminated all the other regulars, keeping only Efrem Zimbalist, and it wasn't anything close to how good it was. Jack Webb was the new producer, who dropped a bomb, with the revised version of the previously sterling detective series. Boo on the change that destroyed itself and cast a pall over a great series in its previous 5 years.
Turned a popular private eye show into another cop show. ☹️
Thanks for the memories Fred.
You're welcome, Kenny.
Sure brings back memories, thank you 😊
You're welcome, lightmarker.
There was a "Gothic" series on daytime T.V. sometimes opposite "Dark Shadow" I think on NBC about a man being possessed by his ancestor that came from a painting. There was something about "kippers" the bad one liked them the good one didn't. It may have been English, help me Fred or Fredsters, what was it's title?
Circle of Fear: 1972-1973 creator- Richard Matheson
Author of "I Am Legend" Book 1954 (Original title: Ghost Story) An anthology of suspense dramas concentrating on individuals confronted with supernatural occurrences. it was really great and Director William Castle produced the show and stared in the episode "Graveyard Shift" aired Feb 16, 1973, in line with Night Gallery had some young stars on their way in Hollywood. The series cans are viewable on TH-cam with the Circle Of Fear theme. Does anyone remember this little gem?
Charlie the tuna wanted to die so bad and never knew it.
Charlie's wife never caught on when he came home smelling like tuna.
excellent !
Thanks, Mick.
Thank you so much!!!!!!
That was great thank you, but I wanted to blow my brains out during that chevy commercial lol
I'm glad you didn't, stargirlx.
I remember watching Surfside 6 on that channel in the early 2000s What happened to that channel? Is it still on? I sometimes go onto Australian television programs and they sort of look like that show Precinct 87.I LOVED watching Thriller on MeTV.
What coast are you on? We are west coast and I had never seen that show before
At 9:05, In the early 1960s, I never saw a commercial for S&H green stamps!
I forgot....what you see at 46.51 is exactly what I saw on the cover of TV Guide all those years ago. I wrote to TV Guide about it and they pretended that they didn't know what I was talking about !!
Sing along with Mitch. Surfside 6. Route 66. 😁
Thanks these are great! BTW - didn’t know Ethel Merman sang for Ford.
I wonder if she put Ethel gas in it.
@@FredFlix “If you can’t get Ethel, get Mabel! “ - Groucho in Duck Soup. Thanks Fred!
She did an ad for Texaco too.
very cool video,
Thanks, BA.
Hey Fred, it seems to me that Empire and Wide Country were on the same night. Do you remember? (We HAD to watch Empire. Mama had a thing for Richard Egan. I think she kinda liked Earl Holliman too).
I don't. I had to go to bed at 9 on school nights.
I remember S & H Green Stamps from when I was growing up during the 70s. I don't know why they discontinued those.
I think that was the color version of the Beverly hillbillies opening
it was
I was just a little girl back in the early 60's.
Me too, Nan, and you had to wear a dress to school, whether you liked it or not? As soon as I got home, I would change into my play clothes.
@@bobbyfrancis8957 : But when I went to this special education school back in the 70's, I wore pants to school on my gym days and I wore dresses on the other days. I always dressed conservatively for school. If I put on something that my mother didn't like, she made me take it off and put something else on.
Since this was back in the 70's, some the girls wore hip hugger jeans, and yes, even hot pants. They also wore bleached jeans, and jackets with writing all over them as well. But my mother never allowed me to dress that way. My parents were very strict and conservative, and that's how they raised both me, my six brothers, and my sister.
@@Lisa-di1wi You didn't live in the 1960s, did you? After Tulita Elementary school, I went to Hilcrest Junior high, still wearing dresses, until Redondo High school , in 10th grade,
about 1971,THEN they said dresses were optional; we could finally wear pants to school, if we wanted to. And about 1970, maxi-dresses were popular for awhile, and to me much more comfortable.
@@Lisa-di1wi I meant Hillcrest.
@@bobbyfrancis8957 : I was born in 1957 and the 60's was the decade of my childhood. I was born and raised right here in suburban Philadelphia. I went to public school up until fourth grade. Then after fourth grade, I went to two different special education schools.
I can tell that you grew up in Redondo Beach, CA. I grew up in Folcroft, PA.
Great!!!!!!
18:11 "His homeboy, Leroy!"
Atta boy Chuck and Shaquille !
Ahhh, TENNIS and CIGARETTES....
I have to laugh--how can a fish smoke a cigar underwater? (Star-Kist commercial) 🤣

My auntie LOVED Ben Casey..,
I wonder what happened to Gina Gillespie? I liked her in Thriller and she was also good in Whatever Happened To Baby Jane. She was also a younger sister of Darlene Gillespie from Mickey Mouse Club.I read somewhere they used real students and a real school on Mr Novak,Bonanza killed The Judy Garland Show Disembodied heads (Sid Caesar) would have scared the CRAP out of me as a small child, because The Monkees used to scare me when they done that.
Sheri451 what part did Gina play in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?
She played Blanche as a child at the very first of the movie. If you've never seen the movie, it's about two sisters . The older sister , Blanche is in a wheelchair and the younger sister Jane is crazy. She was a former vaudeville child star and her signature song was "I've Written A Letter To Daddy and when her older sister Blanche grew up, she became a beloved movie star that got into an accident in the heyday of her career that put her in the wheelchair. Jane tried to become a movie star also, but she wasn't as talented as Blanche an she became jealous of her sister's fame.
Love Ya Fredflix!
Much appreciated, David.
Why couldn't they say Elmer..instead of " the big game hunter" on The Bugs Bunny Show intro?
Russ The Troubadour I think they said Big Dame Hunter (Pepe La Pew)
I thought Leslie Neilson was always a comic tv and movie star.
Nielsen really didn't become a comic actor until "Airplane!" in 1980. Prior to that, he'd long been typecast due to his voice and appearance as either an authority figure or a villain. The producers of "Airplane!" cast him, as well as other actors like Robert Stack and Peter Graves, in order to use that typecasting for effect, having them behave purely deadpan while delivering silly puns and reacting to the nonsense going on around them.
Nielsen jumped at the chance to break out of the dramatic mold, having wanted to do comedy for a long time. His work in "Airplane!" gained so much attention that the producers cast him in his now-signature role of Frank Drebin in the "Naked Gun/Police Squad" franchise.
@@actionsub He also was on The Wonderful World of Color/Disney as The Swamp Fox.
A cartoon show on at prime time
So much EGO back then. Every show had the star name in the title, or the announcer blasts their name ('The Jackie Gleason show !! Starring Jackie Gleason'!! really???) STRANGE times on television . I was born in mid- 60s . By then, Desilu had changed TV .
Just imagine.....if you had the power of "The Beyonder" or any Beyonder for that matter, you could physically connect two otherwise totally separate unrelated events. For instance....The Chrysler Theatre 24:56 when Bob Hope walks out to center stage then suddenly Lions, Tigers, and giant cats spring on him from "The Greatest Show On Earth" and tear him limb from limb......what do you think ????
Veteran announcer Stan Sawyer is shilling Salem Cigarettes.
You realize that Bugs Bunny is a "Yankee"! He's definitely not a "Texas" rabbit!
there was a show my parents wouldn't le tme watch--crisis or something, it had a guy in silhouette being squeezed by a large vice--anyone remember it?
That, in fact, was called "The Vise."
How about that? McGarrett as a cowboy@
Stoney Burke
So Looney Tunes was in prime time line up!!! Wish it still was!!!!!!
I know that The Flintstones were in color , even in 1960.
The show began in b&w. Very few color TVs in 1960. I'm not sure what year they started doing it in color. When it was sold to syndication the early episodes were colorized. Likewise the theme song "Meet the Flintstones" which began being used during Season 3 was added on to the first two seasons.
No, all Flintstones eps were *filmed* (produced) in color. However, ABC didn't have color facilities until 1962, the start of Season 3. Hanna & Barbera were banking on the rerun value well beyond the 1960-66 run, and they were so right. The "Meet the Flintstones" theme started in Season 3, but because the original theme/animation was in black & white, "Meet" was tacked onto the syndicated Seasons 1 & 2 episodes. And it was horribly edited, which is a long story for another day!
Fred, you ended the great 1 hour in the worst way (should have ended at 59:25), as it was reported, but not recognized then as the sad turning point in America's fabulous ascension and peak, to the decline we suffer from since that awful Friday afternoon in late Nov. 1963. I wish you hadn't added that 30+ sec. My avatar shows how I like to remember him best in his outstanding press conferences, frequently laced with his wit and humor we have not enjoyed again.
I'm a Kennedy fan and I agree with you, freeguy, that America began spiraling downward the day he was killed. Nevertheless, I think the ending is appropriate. In fact, it can end no other way.
@@FredFlix I think the ending should not have been shown at all. It wasn't necessary, as t ruined the previous 59 minutes of innocent fun and entertainment we had in our youthful years. Just because we know the Big Event (LBJs term for it with his idea on doing it, with his allies eager in carrying out the coup d'etat), doesn't mean we have to see that awful report again, after seeing it numerous times. Why didn't you add a toy promo (ex, "Rock ''em, Sock 'em Robots") or cartoon for Christmas 1963, because that was the real end of the year, not that day in November a month earlier? That was the real ending, Dec. 25-31. It wasn't the best Christmas ever (the worst I ever lived in), but it was better than Thanksgiving, the Thursday (Nov. 28) after. Sorry, I still feel you made a mistake in adding that last 30 sec., when it just as easily could have been omitted, leaving us with good feelings on that best of times, instead of reliving that horror again. I believe it ruined the whole video you meticulously had to work on, in a fine synopsis of those years. I don't know if others will agree with me or not. My personal opinion. That bombshell addition does not make me eager to see the video again. A real belly drop, in Col. Henry Blake's ("M*A*S*H") famous words.
@@freeguy77 As I look at your avatar, I see you are extremely invested in this topic. That's OK. But we don't all feel the exact same way as you do. Of course, you are entitled to your opinion. You've given it. I gave mine. The discussion ends here.
I'm beginning to suspect that Home Improvement was the evolved version of I'm Dickens, He's Fenster.
Also, the "Catholic Sitcom" Going My Way had 2 actors who would make names for themselves in better shows: Dick York in Bewitched & Leo G. Carroll in The Man From UNCLE.
Thriller was one of the better suspense shows back then. Also, GE's TRUE was a reality show that didn't insult your intelligence.
Thanks for the panoply of memories, FredFlix! 📺
"With the usual rare promos." "Usual" and "rare" are words that are mutually exclusive. If it's usual, it can't be rare. If it's rare, it isn't usual. Think, please.
Good luck wiyth correcting grammar on social media (which includes YT).
