I just turned 10 in the Fall of 1963. I remember when it was exciting with my mom and dad scoping out the evening of TV watching and sometimes it was a tough choice to make between the 3 networks for the time slot. I agree with the comments that the TV shows of the past were outstanding compared to today. I like how so many can be seen on KZfaq. Thanks!

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.

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.

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).

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.

I would have been a kindergarten or first-grade teacher too.I also premiered in 1963. Ans I see Glynis John's tried to turn into a comedienne.

@@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?

From the age of 'Quality' Television and this was the age where they called it "The Boob Tube" because they thought it would mean the end of live Theatre and kids would stop reading good books to watch 'Spoon-Fed' material instead and it would 'soften' their brains and dull their wits. - Boy were they wrong!! Most of the programs were very well written and thought provoking and contained allegory to works of authors like Shakespeare, Homer, Salinger &Thoreau just to name a few.

I could be wrong but I thought she did both simultaneously? Betty Rubble's voice actress changed when Bea passed away I always thought.
@elc1960 Жыл бұрын
@@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.

In 1963, NBC is supposed to pick up The Robert Taylor Show, but in July of the year, NBC and Four Star did not gave permission from the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare and Temple Houston is rushed onto production. The reasons of the Temple Houston fiasco starters, killed off some Fall 1963 starters such as 100 Grand and Redigo. What if Four Star and NBC gave permission from the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare to make The Robert Taylor Show onto the air. Sure, that Temple Houston will not air until the 1964-65 season.

All of these years of intros and promos are just great!!! You are providing a wonderful service for we tvphiles. Is it a state secret, or can you say where you found these goodies? Have you ever come across any Jack Paar "Tonight Show" clips or promos? Thanks again for these gems! Joe
@RwDt099 жыл бұрын
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.
