Superb television from a time we will never ever see again !!!!!

This was the greatest year for television comedy!!

Had to be one of the greatest comedy seasons for staying power: F Troop, Hogans, Gidget, My Mother the Car, Green Acres, Jeannie, Smothers Bros., Dino; today's networks would salivate to get even one comedy show of this caliber today! Amazing and thanks for sharing! - Dr. Bill

20 years after the war, and there were comedies about it. Amazing.

I still love Green Acres☺ Thank you for wonderful memories.

Eddie Albert was such a wonderful actor. I am so glad he continued acting well into his later years. Lived to be 99. My hero

What a great time! We never missed Dean Martin. Remember Petula Clark singing Downtown on that show! Green Acres: “Oliver, I made flapjacks!” Jeannie was sweet. I was 10 and still happy then.

"F Troop" was great during its first season. The second season just sputtered out.

"Oh, Sarge". "I know nothing, nothing." "Sorry about that Chief." "But Master". "Oliver", and her cooking. Remembered a lot, some I saw in reruns, but some I don't remember at all.

I can sing along with F Troop's song even now ... such riches, thanks for posting! :) Grandad was the only one who'd watch comedies with me, thanks G-dad.

I had just started third grade that fall. But I didn't become a Green Acres fan until the Molly Turgis episode. And I've been a Green Acres fan ever since!

A lot of these sitcoms when they aired were the first I ever watched around age 7. Many of these same shows I would then watch a many more times in syndication. Still love sitcoms to this day.

In 1965, not all of these shows were in color, despite how they're shown here. The full switch to all-color primetime network programs happened the following year, in the fall of 1966. I remember when it happened, and "I Dream of Jeannie" and "Gilligan's Island" changed to color.

Wow!!!!! Being a 7 year old boy in 1965 was awesome. We had..... F- Troop......Hogan's Heroes....Get Smart...Green Acres....Gidget.....My Mother the Car....I Dream Of Jeannie. Of course there were some clunkers too. The John Forsythe Show? Mister Roberts? Camp Runamuk? These must have been on after my bedtime cause i never saw them haha.

My favorites! Remember I was seven and looked forward to many of these after seeing previews, along with lost in space and wild wild west

This was a pretty good year for new shows. Many of my childhood favorites started this year. I watched many of the shows in syndication later as I was too young at the time to remember them much. I thought Green Acres began a few years later than this.

Liked hearing the intro to F. Troop.

I was born in 65!!! I am old I know but I don't care th is is so cool.

The impression you get from these old television intros is the functioning family. You can tell there is a connect they make with the viewer. The message they try to send is, "that's just like us" to help the audience identify. A different world.

The intros were short stories in song & all unique to their respective shows...TV really took a turn over the orchestrated themes previously

Wow, I loved every single one of these! Even named our cat Max, after Maxwell Smart! Thanks for the memories!

Even as children, we knew "My Mother the Car" was a lemon. After one season, it got junked.

Glad Hogans Heroes is on Me Tv.

This past March, I met the "real" Gidget at a guest ranch in Arizona. Her father wrote the books based on her beach-going, surfing experiences growing up in Southern California. She's 83 now and is doing fine. Her husband is a charming, sharp 92 year old.

I love the Hogan's heroes intro

A great year in history too.

This is when comedy was clean!

I had a thing for Larry Stroch of F troop Richard Dawson and Robert Cleary of Hogans heroes

Please Dont eat the Daisies was the only show my dysfunctional family watched together.

Larry Storch was the last surviving member of the cast of "F Troop". Rest in peace, Larry.

Green Acres was by far the most intelligent of these comedies.

In a time with far fewer sources of entertainment, the premieres of new TV shows in the fall was exciting for kids.

I was 9. It was truly an incredible year for comedies. How about that early theme for I Dream of Jeannie? My mother loved Dean Martin and she watched this show religiously. Years ago I bought her the DVDs and made copies for myself--now if I can only find them. Never watched Camp Runamuck or OK Crackerby, but remembered seeing them in the listings. Don't remember Hank o at all, but looks like it was a cool show. Knew the song Tammy by Debbie Reynolds.

Green Acres was an absurdist masterpiece.

F Troop was shown in color in season two (1966-67)

It's strange seeing I Dream Of Jeannie in color. They used to show the colorized episodes until Antenna TV network acquired both Jeannie and Bewitched. They said they couldn't get the color episodes because of contract negotiations.

I read on here that Melody from F Troop was just sixteen at the start of the program.

Back when the intro segments were funny all by themselves!

So many of these I never heard of and I was 15 at the time.

When you were 7 years old in 1965 like I was, F Troop was freaking hilarious.

All of these shows, if we watched them, were seen in glorious black and white. It would be another 3-and-a-half years before we stepped up to color TV. We could have afforded it, but the set we had was 3 years new and my dad wasn't quite sure of the color technology at the time of these shows, the mid 60's.

I was never a fan of GREEN ACRES but I do find myself wondering how it was that Eddie Albert's character never figured out that you don't do farming in a three-piece suit and a tie...oh, that was the point?

Dean Martin ... a good variety show and, during the summers, instead of re-runs, he ran the Gold Diggers (some of the prettiest bare-tummy girls in the late 60s).

The "I DREAM OF JEANNIE" title is colorized (originally seen in black and white during its first season). Sidney Sheldon, the creator/producer, WANTED to film it in color, but the studio refused to allow HIM to spend the extra money.

Is it me or does Larry Storch remind you of Mickey Dolenz from 'The Monkees'?

these were great. I really like the unsold pilots of the 60's. Can you do one for the 50's, 70's & 80's too?

Camp Runamuck and Hank must have been obscure, never heard of either one.

Interesting that this version of the first theme song (Season 1) for "I Dream of Jeannie" is slightly different then the one actually used in the series.

Hogans heros Came on every Friday night 800 pm back in 1965

Mona McCluskey - the only show in history filmed entirely during an earthquake.

I was born in Sept 65 so these would all have been brand new then

Green acres is still the funniest show ever

Oh yeah, one more thing: It's interesting to me that in the "Green Acres" intro, that shot of Times Square features a Camel cigarettes sign, and Eva Gabor did TV ads for Camels in the early '50s. Weird co-inky-dink.

Re "F Troop": I'd heard many years ago that Melody Patterson, aka "Wrangler Jane", was actually only about 16 at the time that show premiered, but I never got anything to confirm that. Thanks for posting this video - another great job! Damn, don't you have anything else to do besides these videos? (Just Kidding.)

For every Hogan's Heroes, there was either a Hank or Camp Runnamuck.

I was born in 1965 lol

Oh and lest I forget: Get Smart too!!!!!

Dean Martin Show was very loosey goosey because Dean never rehearsed and just did the show cold reading off cue cards.

WHERE'S MY BIG TIME MOVIE? F-TROOP THE MOVIE!

Did Sidney Sheldon ever contracted DePatie-Freleng to do the opening for I Dream of Jeannie?

That's Bob Crane playing the drums in the theme music to Hogan's Heroes.

9:32 ``Paint it!``

I thought Dean Martin was in color the first season

I always hated F Troop.But I still love Ken Berry.And Hogans Hero's I loved that as a child in reruns, of course, I was only two-years- old in 1965.I also loved Get Smart. For a long time, I thought that the song 99 by Toto was dedicated to agent 99. The name Tammy became the number 1 baby name for girls about this time. Maybe that song popularised it? And I LOVE Gidget, they should have kept it on longer that one year. But Sally Field said it was too late after they cancelled it. The public loved it and wanted it back. They used to show Please Don't eat The Daisy's in reruns on maybe Nick At Nite? I still love the old I Dream Of Jeannie from 1965. Both in the original black and white and colorized. Barbara Eden says in her book that they wanted to film this season in color, but some idiot from NBC wouldn't hear of it.

Question: Is The Dick Kallman of "Hank", Dorothy Killgallen's husband? (same name)

Hits: Hogan's Heroes, Get Smart!, Green Acres, I Dream of Jeannie, The Smothers Brothers 2 Seasons: F Troop, Please Don't Eat the Daisies?, Gidget?

Which theme song was catchier, Get Smart or Green Acres?

Put on your thinking caps and name a particular child actress who would be part of a bunch a few years later.

Did they expect adults to like these comedy shows ? Looking back,most of them in the 1960’s were silly then and utterly ridiculous today.

Tammy?

20 years after the war Germans were funny.

When F Troop is shown today,do they beep out redskin?

Better than this garbage that’s out today when tv was tv and I’m only 57 years old

even when new some of those programs had terrible color

I don't remember Camp Runamuck at all.

Did they miss the Kardashian show...

it must have killed jerry lewis tht dean had a long running, popular variety show and everything jerry tried....failed

40

frank sinatra billed last...are you kidding?

It’s a toss up who’s been in more awful shows…Jerry Van Dyke or Sally Field

TV 📺 was so cornie in the 1960s.

TV always boring.
