Haha, yep hoping for a cartoon, but even anything Disney was worth watching usually!

That was Sunday night and right after that, we had to get ready for bed cause the next day was a school day.

Even My Mother The Car? 😕

@@luisreyes1963, I watched one episode three years ago on KZfaq. goddd, it was awful..HORRIBLE. By far one of the worst TV shows that I've ever seen. I could not believe how bad it was..

I was only 9 back in 1966. But I do remember some of these shows. But I was also a fan of a new show that year called Green Acres.

Since RUN FOR YOUR LIFE lasted 3 seasons, he ended up having at least 3 years left.

Just like a pro football coach with a three year rebuilding plan.. Why three? The Coach had a three year contract.

Jennifer Palmer I didn’t get any either. I was 12 that year! :(

I was only 8 back in 1965.

I was only 3 in '65, never heard of Hullabaloo 'til now. ;)

ferociousgumby yes. One of the great expository themes. I.e. told you everything you needed to know

NBC stop being NBC since 2002

@@coreylevine8095 NBC today stands for Nothing But Crap!

Ditto for 2021 as well. Except for The Amazing Race, I don't even watch prime time TV today. It's nothing but pure trash!

Joe S. Hill: Ditto for the rest of the networks as well.

Agreed!NBC of today has NOTHING! It's not like the '60's or even the '80's.

Walt Disney was racist, sexist and antisemitic. This has all been documented. Is that your idea of wholesome?

It was bad, but it was better than Madame's Place. Or Supertrain. Or Enos. Or BJ and the Seven Lady Truckers. Or Hello Larry. Or...

Partial chronology of episodes/season for TV shows (sitcoms): 1957 Leave it to Beaver, Season 1: 39 episodes (9 solid months of new episodes!!); 1965 Get Smart, Season 1: 30 episodes; 1972 Bob Newhart Show, Season 1: 24 episodes; 1982 Cheers, Season 1: 22 episodes; 1990 Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Season 1: 24 episodes; 2003 Two and a Half Men, Season 1: 24 episodes. So it was pretty steady between early 70s & early 00s, around 24 episodes/season. Don't have anything later than that...

Didn't know about that. A tragic end for a forgotten TV star.

I was wondering if that was him at 25:10, I didn't see a show title in that intro (and the video footage is kind of fuzzy/grainy).

Correct. The Winter 1966 lineup refers to the previous season, 1965-66.

I only remember Flipper being on early evenings, on Saturdays.

Flipper was the first show I saw in color, thanks to a friendly neighbor.

i agree 100%! i was 7 years old,and everything was family oreintated back then, my favorite show was lost in space,it was on wensday nights at 730,then green acres was on, another great show,and today i own a 66 Charger!lol

Fifty-three years later, I am still a Green Acres fan!

In 1966, we had an astronaut finding a Genie and a man who hears his deceased mother talking out of his car radio, but _today_ is junk?

​@@brianarbenz1329Better a talking jalopy than a gaggle of horny nerds going "Bazinga".

The Astronaut was confused and dazed and in shock. He needed a vacation in DALLAS.

Jennie looked nothing like Jeannie..and she died on a Tuesday. And, that's all I've got to say about that.

Yeah, I wasn't sure if "winter 1966" meant Dec. '66 into 1967, or Dec. '65 into 1966 (apparently the latter, based on your comment).

Network TV today is as inane and full of kitsch, as it was back then..

+Kelly02895 Yes. They called it that first until the late sixties when they decided to call it the Wonderful World of Disney. Then in 1988 they decided to call it the Magical World of Disney.

+Kelly02895 Yes, that's what it was called for several years.

"WALT DISNEY'S WONDERFUL WORLD OF COLOR" was the title from 1961 through '69. Then, it became "THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF DISNEY".

I wonder if that was because color TVs were starting to become available to the public(??)

1:00 We are your corporate overlords, bitches!! 💰💰💰

The Man From UNCLE & Get Smart had the best themes of them all. 😎

That was later in the fall. The video covers the winter period (January-March 1966) prior to the fall.

+Lady Cham Ann B. Davis was part of the original format of the show...Forsythe's character found himself owner of a girls' school (among the students was a pre-MOD SQUAD Peggy Lipton). Mid-season, they decided to return him to the Air Force and make him a secret agent.

I can't fathom Ann B. Davis as anything OTHER than the maid Alice on the Brady Bunch. (Obviously, I never heard of/watched Forsythe's show...but then again, I was only 3 years old during the 65-66 TV season!)

Ann B. Davis was also on The Bob Cummings Show and Love That Bob before the Forsythe show.

Consider yourself fortunate in missing My Mother The Car. Also, Daniel Boone was nothing more than another potboiler Western.

With the old-fashioned mechanized elevator floor indicator above the door.

It represents blazing a trail.

Hop Sing tried to cook it. 🤣

Brush fires. Very common in that part of the country.

+Paul Catania Those HULLABALOO dancers included Michael Bennett, who would create A CHORUS LINE, and Donna McKechnie, who originally played the pivotal role of Cassie in the show.

Paul Duca Interesting!

+Paul Duca I could be wrong, but wasn't Goldie Hawn's first husband, Gus Trikonis, a Hullabaloo dancer also?

So people didn't mind it when people did obnoxious Beatles covers on television?

@@akrenwinkle, GOLDIE was in that H'BALOO dancing troupe, right?

No, that was an old ambulance, retrofitted into a sort of travelling campus store.

Carnation was the main Sponcer of the Burn and Allen show, carnation great for coffee, also baby formula.

His last one was his most longest running, Crazy Like A Fox on CBS. It ran for 2 seasons.

Ed Herlihy was KRAFT'S voiceover artist. Eugene Levy of SCTV fame in the early '80's, did a spoof of that Herlihy commercial type that showed creating other dishes with KRAFT crackers and cheese..only LEVY'S voiceover in the bit wasn't just piling on your normal food...sardines on a kraft kracker, havarti cheese, and then peanut butter, 3 in 1 motor oil, mayonaise, pecan syrup, and on and on, all done low-key like HERLIHY. and it got worse..it was hysterically funny - "ahhh..Yes and then add your favorite topping.." and so on..funny as it gets, in the end, the most ungodly looking sandwiches and cracker stacks that you'll ever see.. Check it out..I may have some of the ingredients wrong, but you get my drift.

I've watched the first of those "Andy's" in reruns, but definitely not the second. (Ugh...Andy Williams, Perry Como? More my parents' generation, at least based on the radio station they always left the living room radio on.)

@@not-so-smartaleck8987, they weren't fans of yours, either..

WINTER OF '66..NOT the FALL of that year, nor the fall of '65..

HOUSTON was a growing up and coming city..HELLFIGHTERS MOVIE WITH JOHN WAYNE, COLT .45s/ASTROS WERE YOUNG, SOON TO BE NFL OILERS, SOON TO BE ROCKETS NBA, SOON TO BE SKYROCKETING POPULATION..AND NASA SPACE CENTER, ALONG WITH THE ASTRODOME opening, etc... H-TOWN was rising IN THE MID TO LATE 1960'S.. It exploded in population in the '70's when the YANKS moved in..

Variety shows got too expensive & were considered "old hat".

@@luisreyes1963, so they disguised them as competition shows.

You're correct. As that video was uploaded 5 years ago, it's lost on me why I used that version, but it likely could've been because the actual title, Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color, couldn't be found at the time, as was, and still is, the case with the correct version being sought of a lot of titles, so I might've used the one I did use as a substitute. Incidentally, The Wonderful World of Disney title was first used in 1969 and for a decade thereafter and it's that version I used in the video. The 1990s one is different as you can see through this: .kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m6-PhrpmnZmXm6M.html I try to get these things right, and at least 97% of the time I do, but the other 3% of the time I need to rely on substitutes or, less often, I just plain absent-mindedly screw up.

Walt Disney passed away on December 15, 1966.

@@robertsprouse9282 Dammit, that sounds like something I might say...and shame on you for getting it in before I could (LOL)!

Definitely NOT Chrysler. 😆

Occasionally I'll use an earlier or later version if the correct one isn't available, but that is the correct intro for The Virginian, as Diane Roter, featured in it, starred in the series through only the '65-'66 season.

RwDt09 OK...I always thought she was a late addition to the cast. Instead, she was a very early member. Thanks!

+King Bee The JEANNIE animation is actually from Depaite-Freling Preductions...

Operation Petticoat was a 1959 movie starring Cary Grant & Tony Curtis.

He was not that well known then, until a few seasons later.

Star Trek on Fridays aired during the 1967-68 season.

RwDt09 And 1968-69 90 minutes later at 10 pm.

Star Trek premiered September 8,1966. The 66-67 season. (Thursday, then moved to Fridays the following season). Last episode aired June 3, 1969, 68-69 season. It's still missing from your compilation. Best vid for that year so far. Not many people remember the bulk of those shows listed.

the60sKid I know. It aired on Thursdays 8:30-9:30 the first season, moved to Fridays 8:30-9:30 the second season, then 10 pm on Friday in its third season and after a brief spring hiatus, it finished off its run with summer reruns on Tuesdays 7:30-8:30 in 1969. The NBC winter programming I posted was for the winter of 1966 (Jan-Mar 1966) within the 1965-66 season, the season before Star Trek first appeared.

I remember the Friday (why I said Friday) nights more as I could watch it then uninterrupted by the adults about the house.

What?

According to TVObscurities.com, Forsythe played a retired Air Force major named John Foster who inherited a school in California from his aunt. Imagine his surprise when he learned it was an elite all-girls school. From October to December the series averaged a 15.5 Nielsen rating, ranking 73rd out of 99 programs. Beginning with the January 31st, 1966 episode, the show switched formats somewhat. The school adventures were de-emphasized while Major Foster and Sgt. Robbins went off on spy missions. The series was cancelled in March of 1966

Only the pilot episode of GET SMART was in B&W. The OP included both openings for both it & IDoJ from this season, the first for each.

It's still surprising to see any shows in B&W ten years after NBC went color.

"I Dream of Jeannie"

@@scottlarson1548, in 1966, the middle class was just getting to the point that it could afford color-TVs. We saw black and white up until we got our color TV when I was almost seven. There were still many b&w shows on..most shows until 1966-67 season were in black and white.

@@robertsprouse9282 NBC was owned by RCA, the main manufacturer of color television sets. RCA was subsidizing NBC's purchase of color programming to help sell expensive color televisions, so it's surprising that NBC had any black and white programming at all at this point.

Movie openings from the 60s are non-existent at this point save for an audio file I came across that I believe was from 1968 introducing the Beatles' Help movie. I think it's still on KZfaq, just use those key words to find it. The earliest actual NBC movie night video intro I've posted dates back to 1972, it's in one of my Stay Tuned videos for Saturday nights in '72. There's also ABC's Movie of the Week intros which go back to their start in 1969, but they featured made-for-TV movies as opposed to theatrical features on the regular movie night showcases.

That was about a year after the time period in this vid (the 65-66 TV season).

Flipper didn't need to by his tuna at the store..

It is widely thought of as the worst show to ever air. I actually think it's way better than "Three's Company.'

@@OldsVistaCruiser Certainly less . . . leering . . . .

John Minehan: You're lucky.

You had to be stoned or drunk to sit through it. 🤣

That's as maybe, but that lousy show makes The Wackiest Ship In The Army look like Wings.

Trust me..as bad as some of the stuff was then, MY MOTHER THE CAR was ten times worse.. "PUTRID" would be showing kindness.

My Mother the Car could have worked as a concept, but the writing was awful. The plot premises were not plausible and the dialogue was weak. Amazingly, one of the writers was Alan Burns, who soon co-wrote The Mary Tyler Moore Show. He went from worst to best.

Consider yourself fortunate. 😅
