The end of black & white TV. Mom married a rich guy w white carpet in his house, a see thru fireplace to the kitchen, etc but the peacock on NBC in color on his cool TV back then still gives me goosebumps. Plus the actual NBC peacock lived nearby at the steps of the Biltmore House. We made friends when I was 5, before color TV. My local family took me to the Biltmore Estate for the attraction it is back then & still is today.

@@davidkemp3154 Interesting story. We only had a black and white TV for longer than others and remember it was great seeing some TV in color at friend's houses. Even todasy I like looking back at those old TV shows of the 1960s and seeing what they looked like in color when it first changed over.

As if it were yesterday. I was 6 when these shows were on the air; I remember those days very fondly. We lived a pretty darned good life back in the 60s; saw and HEARD a lot at that age. The Beatles had just hit the scene in the US and I was as taken with them as everybody else was. Social change was taking place faster than we all could absorb it; but we maintained a pretty stable and secure family life, so for me life was good.

I got the series from amazon

@@davidchildress6432 David - just saw that. Thanks!

Patrick Macnee, star of The Avengers and no slouch himself, said David Janssen was the best actor on television.

YOU COULDN'T HAVE SAID THAT BETTER!! THE FUGITIVE LIVES🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Loved the Fugitive, especially loved how Kimble got hinky around photogs.

Yes good times

And you could leave your door open on warm summer nights I miss that so much

The prized is priced (The Flintstones)

Mark of quality ? You bet it was kiddo ! We could be assured of quality entertainment when we heard that .

as a five year old kid, I actually believed the monsters were real, and therefore was scared out of my wits! The episodes still scare me........I have all the shows on dvd.

The best scfi show that was made for tv. Forget StarTrek. Boring show. Outer Limits was way ahead in writing, producing and directing. You talk about costumes making, way ahead of its time. And of course the actors in all those episodes they made. First class acting. And the best part for me was the music by Dominic Frontier. That theme with the voice made me think more about the future Science Fiction (from 976-CREOLEMAN).

Zantee misfits🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜

Just purchased the Blu-Ray set .. well worth it.

@@marcelmischeaux7256 NOBODY is forgetting Star Trek!

And in Brooklyn Heights no less. The exteriors are all wrong; the Heights is a 19th century neighborhood.

Burkes Law and his RR

It was on A&E for those reruns, I believe.

Kraft suspense theatre, Burkes law, and Thriller are on KZfaq William conrad, was announcer for fugitive It may have opened him up for CANNON

Oh yes dity wity 1853 what a great year it was. I lived in a one bedroom log cabin

@@kathleenking47Conrad was a long established radio actor, and was the first voice of Matt Dillon in Gunsmoke. Considering his size and appearance, I would wager a guess that Cannon™ was a kind payoff for a lifetime of work, that turned out to be a success. Let’s face it; an obese, middle-aged, balding detective chasing people through the streets and deserts of Southern California is not exactly an easy sell in a network board room. 😄

so do i

When it was real TV

@@tonyallen6510 anit that the truth when you could actually watch tv and enjoy it

This was when everything was made in America and operators/customer service weren't all foreigners!🙄

I was 6 y/o when _My Favorite Martian_ was released, and I was so enthralled with the show, I aspired to BE Uncle Martin - with all his funky powers etc. As you would expect, I was thoroughly laughed at by family and friends; but I was undeterred -- until it became clear that I wasn't going to acquire those quirky abilities by simply willing it into being. Sooooo I just settled for watching the show and wondering what could've been.... Ahh, the nightmares of childhood....

Agree. Also, couldn't stand the variety shows and all those show tunes. Blecch! Then came Feb. 9, 1964.

We valued TV back in the 60s coz for us it was still relatively new technology -- new enough where they were cranking out new shows by the bushel every September. There was something for everybody, and the new shows gave the family something to look forward to. The crap on TV now I couldn't care less. Sorta like Rock & Roll; I feel like TV and Rock has run its course; nothing imaginative, nothing to glue you to your seat as must-see TV, music that isn't even music. Probably every person who has ever reached their 60s has said the same thing, but I still believe we never had it as good as our childhood. Compared to today it's no contest.

Really? That suicide took place in 1970 and that show was canceled in 1966. I question your memory, sir or madam.

@@brianthomas2434 You're probably right. I just remember the suicide coming very close to the show's end or slightly after.

The only Outer Limits episode I remember was about an extra-terrestrial with a British accent who came to Earth to stop a murder by freezing the action of the shooting just before it happened. He examined the wallet of one person and found "certificates with a picture of a woman on them." That was George Washington. I fell over laughing at that. Decades later, I learned that this actor was Carroll O'Connor. He could do any kind of accent and characterization, but was limited in the pubic mind to Archie.

@@brianarbenz1329 "Controlled Experiment" was the episode. It also starred Grace Lee Whitney - Nurse Rand on Star Trek, TOS!

I wasn’t allowed to watch it because it gave me nightmares!

@@jacquelineganske7809 You were probably better off if it disturbed you that badly...

@@alanhumphrey4198 I ran away from the TV and grabbed my clown because I thought something was very wrong if people were taking control of the TV set.

There’s nothing like radio comedy!

Lmfao!!! 😅😂 Man that was brilliant! F'n brilliant! I bet...

That brings back memories. I was in Hartford, and the ABC station was in New Haven, 40 miles away. There was so much snow on the screen I could barely make out the images. Despite that, I was still hiding behind the couch when some of those monsters showed up.

@@zanti4132 I was the antenna support. " Hold it over your head" "raise your right foot".

Now I get a blank screen when my antenna (with a wire going up the stairs, across the hallway and out the attic door) doesn't cooperate. At least in the 1960's I got some sound and a fuzzy picture.

@@zanti4132 We were next door in Bloomfield in 1963 and it was on WNHC , channel 8 I believe. It didn't come in too well for us either.

The closest thing to The Great Adventure today is The American Experience on PBS.

The Great Adventure made me proud to be American!

I was 10 and I remember The American Experience!!

I have that entire series on dvd

"Cookie, Cookie, lend me your comb!"

That 77 Sunset Strip episode was part of a five episode story (called "5"!) that was meant to re-introduce the show in the new format. It was all-stars all the time. Sort of like "The Longest Day." Only it was "The Longest Episode." The new format didn't work. Gone in 13 weeks.

The "Bell Telephone Hour" had such a gorgeous theme song.

At least Dr. Richard Kimble found his on Aug. 29, 1967.

The TV 📺 back then was DEFINITELY better than it is today. The younger generations wouldn't sit still for 5 minutes if these shows and TV series were on today.

Yes! Problem is some only rain one season, and some weren't even completely saved.

Consult the MeTV website for the schedule.

What's wrong with airing what is there and streaming on free tubiTV then? They're currently showing available episodes of Doctor Who. From BBC! They also have Sherlock Holmes, from 1954, which was syndicated.

I was 6 at the time and _Outer Limits_ scared the hell out of me; but the whole family was glued to the TV when it came on. My mom would shoo me away because she didn't want me to watch it; it would give me nightmares.

That’s not true.

He inherited her estate and donated it to mental health causes.

I was never aware of this, but bigotry was commonplace then & sadly still persists to this day. They reportedly had a baby girl together. If true, I wonder what became of her.

Sure was. I think that's why now Autumn is my favorite time of year. September was when school started up, the new and updated TV shows aired, the new car models were introduced, and it was football season. Thereafter came the Holiday Season. So I was pumped for the Fall, and the new TV shows were the high point. Ugh, I so pine for those days of my childhood....

And that itself was the biggest television event of 1963.

I was just a year ahead of you. My parents and maternal grandparents took me to see It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (1963) just ten days before President Kennedy was assassinated. Those two events really imprinted on me. Best wishes!

Ancient alien theorists would agree!

Don’t forget about The patty Duke show, such a wonderful tv show

Tv is trash now.

Not every show was memorable from that time. Burke's Law was just another boilerplate private eye show. And practically every 3rd show was either a Western or Variety show.

Imagine if all of the talent in this video had today's technology!

⁠​⁠​⁠@@luisreyes1963As Sturgeon’s law puts it: 90% of everything is crap. Or in this context; not notable. Every generation of the United States since the immediate post World War II years has TV programs. Many of them naturally don’t pan out long term, and every television season has its own specific one and dones. Not that its premise was unlike anything before it, but credit Burke’s Law which you named for making it three seasons and even spawning a spinoff in Honey West with Anne Francis. Every generation also has its successes in television as well, and as you correctly pointed out, in the 60’s, a lot of those successes came in the form of variety shows, and westerns. Going back to the comment at the top, not that you can’t argue that that an earlier generation than the one we live in is the best one for TV, but one thing that should be kept in mind is that programs that failed and lack quality that air now are arguably more likely to receive attention for failing than shows in previous generations that also failed received. The failures of previous decades, and in general, of times before social media was mainstream (roughly around 2009 or so) are generally more forgotten than contemporary failed TV shows, and thus only the best of earlier generations are remembered when talking about those generations. At least that’s what I’d say. What do you think?

You ain't just whistling Dixie

I wasn't old enough to appreciate _Grindl,_ but I'd watch it just for the intro because of Imogene Coca smacking the car in the street.

Most of those tv shows were crap

Back then, he came up through the Disney ranks. Still one of my favorite actors.

@@kathiec1333 He also did guest spots on many TV shows early in his career: Lost In Space Gilligan’sIsland Man From U.N.C.L.E. Daniel Boon..... His role in Disney movie “Follow Me Boys” was very impressive. ( and as someone who did some-little acting as a kid myself, I’m VERY hard to impress). One of the masters ( of which are becoming rare). 📻🙂

A little dab will do ya.

@@michaelfreeman9144 I remember that commercial with Mickey Mantle.

I saw one on SCTV once making fun of " identical cousins" it was " identical Arab oil ministers". with the same musical tune.

Except that in my town people rarely fully read books or are very picky today and i myself read lots but reading books about archaeology and ancient cultures and parallel biblical history side by side with even alternate histories that usually are very true in essence or narration .

If that were the case, why was East Side West Side suddenly cancelled & yet jejune junk like Burke's Law continued its run? 🤨

I could be wrong but I thought she did both simultaneously? Betty Rubble's voice actress changed when Bea passed away I always thought.

@@fatfreddyscat5767 Bea Benaderet was not Betty Rubble and Kate Bradley simultaneously. She was Cousin Pearl on The Beverly Hillbillies while she was on The Flintstones. When she got Petticoat Junction she left both the other shows and was replaced as Betty by Gerry Johnson. She left Petticoat Junction when she was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. She died shortly after the next season started. Her character was written off the show and June Lockhart joined the cast for the last two seasons as a lady doctor who had her office at the Shady Rest.

I loved Dr Who. Used to run home from school so I didn’t miss it. Didn’t know what was going on half the time but loved it none the less!

Debuted the day President Kennedy was killed!

They had a couple of good ones in the past 8 years but cancelled them and kept the crap...damb us over 55r's

I agree with you Richard. Except for The Amazing Race, I don't even watch prime time TV today. It's nothing but junk!

And besides, Hollywood today only caters to the 18-49 crowd. They don't care about us Baby Boomers.

The outer limits was stupid, over-hyped wannabe crap. It lost viewers every week. It was boring and a let down.

It was a Twilight Zone knockoff. It had a few good episodes, but mostly was lame.

Joe Postove There's no state secret about where these clips came from, most are from KZfaq itself, while others are from Daily Motion, Veoh and lesser video sites. It's all a matter of patient searching and clever key wording, but a lot of shows and intros still aren't available. Then again, what wasn't available a few years ago or even last month eventually did become available, so it's just a matter of time before all of it ends up here, I guess. Some Jack Paar clips you can find by simply typing out 'Jack Paar Tonight Show' using the Google Video search tab.

RwDt09 I have searched for Paar's "Tonight" but almost nothing is to be found. The Friday night hour long show has much extant.

Rowlf was my first exposure to the Muppets.

Me too!

His whole appraisal of the country is based on TV show beginning themes. Wow, he's a real thorough researcher!

The guy's a spin doctor troll. He sees "confident men" in Jerry Lewis and Joey Bishop. lol

@staytunedfor Yep, funny how's there more blacks in poverty now that you've "liberated" them, but as long as you can virtue signal, that's the main thing. Just ask the democratic party.

I think more Radical Republicans voted for the Civil Rights bill of 1963 then the Democrats

@staytunedfor I see you just can't bring yourself to leave the democratic plantation. LOL!!😆😆😆😆😆😆

Exactly. Kids had respect for their parents, teachers, and everybody else in authority. And the good old-fashioned heterosexual marriage and relationships. Nowadays, prime time TV is nothing but trash, junk, and filth!
