David Hall - Or polio, which had been stopped due to vaccinations, but there were still a lot of polio survivors around. Polio was scary as hell! Most kids were spared the depressing and scary stuff adults were dealing with, but it crept into our lives a bit. Every little boy knew about Vietnam, nuclear weapons, famine abroad (“Eat your dinner! There are starving kids in China who would LOVE to have those vegetables!”), etc.

Yes a lotta shit was going on but,life was simple.Nowadays,every one you see on the streets is cruel,just awful,or a pedophile.Back then kids went outside,played actual games and explored the world but nowadays kids are spoiled brats.And entertainment was better too!Shows,movies,cartoons,comics,books,and so much more were better and not just shitty acting and special effects.What I’m Saying is things were going on but I think things are worse now.Sure yes all that stuff plus sexism and racism were common but I think are even MORE common.All I’m saying is With every generation shit will always be around but these times will always be golden.

I was SO happy when my mother finally bought those colored ice cream cones! Ice cream, especially in cones, was a big, huge, delicious treat that I just _knew_ was going to taste even better if I could eat it out of a colored cone ... Ah, that Boston pencil sharpener, just like the one screwed onto our old 'desk' -- I can smell the shavings now.

I wouldn't trade my growing up in the '60s for anything. I had several slinkys, wheel-os, hot both Gumby and Pokey for my 8th birthday, and didn't find out until years later that my neighbor was jealous! I had the ball and paddle, super balls, a pogo stick that I never learned how to use.

Being a child in the sixties was so much better than now. At least we didn't have to worry about mass shootings, but just student walk outs over were kids smoke cigarettes in highschool. It seems so long ago. But we tried to work it out with each other. Now many people don't believe in diplomacy, and it's never surrender. I wish we could teach more people to work for a better soulution. Thanks from this old flower child! PEACE!!!!!🌹🌹🌸🌸💐💐🍀🍀🍀🍀

1960 I was 4 years old. The decade that I was kid. I remember .25 cents for a Hamburger, .15 cents for French Fries, and .20 cents for a small soda at the Snack Shack which was a local fast food restaurant around my old neighborhood where I grew up. Now it is a Chinese Restaurant. Very expensive, and I have not gone there for that reason. And it is an old working class neighborhood which the homes there are now in the 1 million dollar range. Thanks for putting this together FredFlix.

Growing up in the 60's was last generation that grew up with traditional values . By the end of the decade it was over, since they world changed. I grew up watching Disney and Jackie Gleeson , Mad , mad mad world . Johnny Quest , James Bond, James West , Silver age comics , when Nuns wore a habit. When it was safe to go in the city . So much history in that decade too and glad that I and million other were there to witness it .

ZnenTitan: We had one of those and I still think those were the COOLEST! Yeah, they were pretty unsafe and I do remember getting burnt fingers several times, but they were still cool. Mattel had the "Creepy Crawlers" Thingmaker, and the coolest was glow-in-the-dark "Plastigoop"! I remember that Topper Toys had a very similar "Johnny Toymaker" machine that came with various car molds and similar "Plastigoop" stuff that came in various colors so that you could make your own toy car bodies! They sold the car rolling chassis separately, and you would put the car bodies you would make on them.

Thanks so much. Every time I see one of these it warms my heart. I was born in 1954 so I was there. In reminded of what an outstanding job my parents did. I had all of those toys, we said the Pledge of Allegiance, we prayed in school, we hid under our desks during air raid drills. Incedently I put that Mickey Mantle card on the spokes of my bike with the banana seat. Love was love, music had meaning and melody, it was poetry. What an innocent lifestyle for most. Having said that, I would never go back even if I could. If only I knew then what I know now. I found my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in 1993 and my life will never be the same. Thank you Jesus for dying for me on the Cross. My life for you. In Jesus name, Amen🙏 Thank you Fred for the wonderful trip down memory lane. It was the best I've seen yet. God bless yo and yours👍

Born in 1953. Actually, 1960's the best decade for me in many ways. Learned to backpack, judo, and also, 1969 double dating and sneaking into the drive-in with the girlfriend in the trunk. What a great time. I have thousands of hours of memories. When the B & W TV broke, oh well. Dad will take it apart on his day off and until then, enjoy the outdoors.

I remember going to the theatre, on Saturday afternoon, with my younger brother and for one dollar we had a double features (Tarzan, Zorro or Jungle Jim), cartoons, weekly cliffhanger (not to be missed) popcorn, liquorice and a pop...we were walking close to a mile to the theatre, alone and no danger whatsoever...people trusted each others and talked to each other. Who remember the five and dime store? Or these decorated street with Christmas music playing on loud speakers around the holidays? Skating on the frozen lake or eating a baloney sandwich on a sandy beach of the same lake in hot summers afternoon...riding our bicycles around the neighbourhood and go to the park to play baseball...good time all around

Thanks again Fred, the 60s were the best, i wanted to become a ventriloquist at that age, watching Danny O Day, Farfel, Jerry Mahoney and the Marionette series, i got a Danny O Day with the teaching album for Christmas when i was 9, i'd stay in my room for hours learning how to throw my voice!

Wow, Gregg, that's quite a reaction. I think photos touch a nerve in ways that video can't. Unfortunately, my photo slideshows don't get many viewers, so I quit making them for KZfaq. But I'm happy you were moved to tears...in a good way.

Me too. We as a family almost every Saturday for years during the 1960's would travel from San Francisco to Half Moon Bay, a 25 mile drive on coast highway 1 to go fishing on the pier there. The small fishing village had 350 people, one road in and one road out. I was so excited to get there and so sad to have to go home. Mom was a great cook and we ate good since the fishing and crabbing was awesome. We once brought home 50 crabs. Great times. Car? A black Rambler.

I've viewed several, liking all, but this one dredged up melancholy I'd forgotten I was capable of! No tears, but it made me strangely sad, esp seeing the poor young country family. Life's a neverending struggle for some, a breeze for others, & often the difference between the 2 is no more than luck of the draw - where, when, & to whom yr born. Certain aspects here just reminded me how much life's in my reaview now, w/no playback button, like was on Cousin Billy's reel to reel. On the other hand, Cootie! I loved playing Cootie. & that Godzilla vs. the Thing? I have that. Haven't played it since late 60's/early 70's, but it's still downstairs. Thanx for the time capsule, Fred!

The first honest to God grown up possession ( not a toy ) that I had when I was a teenager was that pocket 7 transistor radio. I thought that was the coolest bit of super high tech I had ever seen. Imagine,...a radio, (AM only, there was no FM at that time), that fit in my shirt pocket. Well, I tell you, the sci fi future had arrived. I was King of the world.

I was like every other kid like you and most of the poster's on this channel topic. Living the LIFE!! Played marbles but my dad always loved to cut in when he seen me with "Let me show you how it's done boy". He was snap fast good too. Everything from TV shows to Radio and Magazines-Comic Books etc. WE HAD IT ALL!! Must be why things are horrible now. The big bad boogy man & minions hated us for having such a simple decent and free life back then in UTOPIA after the WW2. Making us pay for it now. No Matter though. Can't steal that time away that we experienced back then and will carry with us all our existence now and in the times beyond to come for us! Yes Sir!
