Leave it to Beaver and Lucy were my favorites as a kid in the 80s.

I recognized some of these theme songs. I grew up in the '50s and '60s. Back then, at least in my household, we watched what our parents wanted to see. Some of these shows, I never had a chance to watch.

Theme Song's from the 50's sound like a Walk in the Park, So Nice!

I'm a 15 year old girl and I've been looking for one of these videos with leave it to beaver in it. I'm honestly happy I prefer these types of shows other than most new ones but I still do like new ones. That also gives for music, I'm an old soul all the way around and I'm happy I am😅

"You Bet Your Life" was hosted by Groucho Marx. The "You Bet Your Life" theme was based on the song "Hooray for Captain Spaulding," which came from the Marx Brothers' 1928 Broadway show (and 1930 film) "Animal Crackers." 🙂

Brought back memories of my childhood, with one semi-correction I have to offer: The picture accompanying the "Lassie" theme showed the original cast (Tommy Rettig, Jan Clayton, George Cleveland), while the theme music was that used in the episodes with the third cast (Jon Provost, June Lockhart, Hugh Reilly). To the uninitiated, the second cast had Provost, but with Cloris Leachman and Jon Sheppod (sp?) as the parents.

I got bout half of them and have watch most of them and btw I'm 18, always prefer the classics I do

I did poorly on the 50s shows but I am more familiar with the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. Most of the 1950s shows I haven't seen in reruns having grown up in the 80s.

I so miss the 60's!! Great times, and I was a kid!!

Thank You So Much!!! These are sooooo fun!!!! I’ve watched a few of them and they make me happy every time!!!! Thanks Again😁👍

memories of my childhood still cool in 2019

Many of the songs in the 50s we composed long ago and adapted, making them easier to remember.

Excellent compilation, a lot of time , effort and LOVE has gone into this.

I love 50's shows. Great work. Thanks for the complication. Lots of good fun and great nostalgia.

Westerns were abundant on tv back in the 1950's. In 1959, there were 30 westerns on prime time tv, and 8 out of the top 10 rated tv shows were westerns.

First time I saw Gone With the Wind, Scarlett was on the porch with Brent and Stuart Tarleton and I said, “That’s Superman!”

I wasn't around to watch 50's tv but I've seen reruns all my life. But never ever had I heard of Texaco Star Theater. The lyrics made me laugh a little. :)

I only got about half. I do remember most of the shows. I was born 1959. Loved the video.

Thank you for a look back at my childhood televison shows. That was fun. Some of them are still in syndication on cable channels. Those of us who grew up watching them are in our '70s now.

Most people I knew growing up just called it the Milton Berle show instead of Texaco Star Theater justnlike we called it the Jack Benny show!

So many catchy tunes! I would never have guessed that last one (Peter Gunn) was from the 50s. It soundsore modern than that!

westerns should have their own category

I was waiting for The Rifleman, Dennis the Menace, Dobie Gillis and The Real McCoys

I got all but eight of them. Not bad for someone born in the late 90's, lol.

I was born in 1953 in Europe and we didn't get a TV until 1964 (the very first in our street-B/W even). We had two national stations that got started in 1958, one in Flemish and one in French... In 1964 they bought series from America, I remember Lassie and the Lone Ranger in the early yers... and Peyton Place for the grown ups...Oh, and the Fugitive with David Janssen.... but that was about it... No wait, Zorro and Bonanza too...

That was a nice trip back to the 50s. I recognized a lot of the tunes but I could not identify them with the associated program!!!!! Still very enjoyable!!!!!! Thank You!!!!!!

Wait...during the 50s' my ass had to be in bed by 9pm.

Peter Gunn! I only know this because of "The Art of Noise". lol. 80's/90's kid here.

The 50's were obsessed with cowboy shows. I guess that's why every kid wanted a Red Rider BB gun.

I strangely got more right for the 50’s then the 60’s! I only showed up halfway through the decade! I think Mom watched a lot of TV while Dad worked 2nd shift!

The "Captain Kangaroo" theme was used also on BBC Radio for a quiz show. I forget the real name for this tune or the quiz show. Can any UK or British Commonwealth viewer help, please?

It's amazing how much these things worm their way into your mind. I was a little kid in the fifties but seventy years later I still remember them.

I was a little kid in the 50's, living in a small rural town in central Wisconsin. We could only get 1 channel and I think it was independent but mostly showed CBS shows. I wasn't allowed to turn on the TV so I had some handicaps here. Anything on ABC or NBC I never heard of back then, and even with CBS available I could only remember the shows before my bed time! My parents were strict! I remember I LOVE LUCY and the JACK BENNY SHOW. Loved them. I love old fashioned comedy that makes fun of the comedian instead of pointing at scapegoats to make fun of, which seems common nowadays in our harsh world. But with our very childish wit, we used to all watch Superman and called him Pooperman. But a big show was missing: 77 Sunset Strip. I loved that show because it made me think that everyone in Los Angeles was a cool cat! I also grooved to American Bandstand, since I was the youngest and my older brothers and sisters would rock to it each week. My sister had a crush on a guy who danced on the show each week. LOL I absolutely hated Leave it to Beaver. I thought the 2 sons were total morons.

Wow no Amos and Andy, or Nat King Cole Show!!

Every Saturday had to see.

Peter gun still a bad ass song!!!!!

"Good Morning, Captain!"

Even though i'm very very young I LOVE watching old movies and old tv shows don't watch much new tv anymore which yea thats weird with someone in the is generation..

I was born in 1961. 4i did not recognize. 9 I did not know at all. Well done. I enjoyed it. 👍🙂‼️

I cannot believe I did better on the 50’s at 17-13 than I did on the 80’s when I was born in 1956😵! Those childhood memories ❤️

Brings back all the memories, I watched all of them. I knew all of the answers too. Dose that tell you how old I'am?? Great Trivia

I was born in 1960. But have seen many TV shows from the 50's. I knew a lot of them.

I waited and glad I did. Peter Gunn. Yes! The very last one. Thanks! Perry Mason and Peter Gunn themes are tops IMO.

I Love Lucy!!!No one can forget that! Wasn’t Hogan’s Heroes and Dad’s Army on during the 50’s

did not do very well, but i loved hearing the music again. oh the memories!

Born in 64’ I knew about 3/4 of these show.

I got 9. Missed 21

"Peter Gunn", spent a lot of late nights over recent years watching that show. I think the entire show was filmed indoors on one stage. Seems like it was always nighttime.

Your missing Tombstone territory- guest star: pre highway to heaven Michael Landon Tales of Wells Fargo: starring with dale Robertson

On Apple computers there is a voice called “Pipe Organ” and when it speak it speaks in the tune of the Alfred Hitchcock Presents theme

I met Audrey Meadows. When. I was. Visiting. My Aunt Dorothy. Who lived. In Beverly Hills. I also met Rosalind Russell. They were all nice. Earthy. People. Ellie Joy 29

I was too young for some and I was never into westerns. But they were wonderful themes anyway!

I was born in Dec. of 1956, but seen a lot of these shows in syndication as a kid. I remembered quite a lot of them, especially American Bandstand, I Love Lucy, Dragnet, The Honeymooners, Donna Reed, Make Room for Daddy, The Mickey Mouse Club, and a few others. Thanks for the memories. (Jan Griffiths).

I missed Jack Benny of all things. I always associated Benny with Love in Bloom. Still remembered the lyrics to Maverick and Paladin and the intro to Dragnet. My Dad bought our first TV in 1952 so that he could watch the Boston Celtics and Willie Mays. My mom parked me in front of the TV during the day while she cleaned house; I still remember the theme from Edge of Night.

These were harder than 60s and 70s. (b. 57) Had to pause for some, and still didn't know a few of them. But I do love these vids.

Kept waiting for the Loretta Young Show theme song.

If my parents didn't watch the show we didn't watch the show so there's several shows on there I had no idea.

I missed 10. Knew some of them by memory but couldn't pull the name out quickly enough. Fun quiz.

Story time!!!!! First off, I'm young...keep that in mind for this story to make sense. My Senior year, my band director decided to be the typical goof that he is and, when trying to move through a bunch of students in my band class, he decided to say "make room for daddy". My classmates were HORRIFIED. My band director looked at them blankly and asked them what was the matter. He stated that Make Room for Daddy was a TV show. I said "Z, I remember my mom mentioning that show before." "See!!!! I'm not so crazy after all. Jeez Abby! What am I gonna do when you graduate? You're the only one who knows my references!!!!" At the end of class he actually pulled up one of the episodes on KZfaq to show my classmates that neither of us were crazy.

I missed Texaco and Playhouse 90.

Only got 12 right but hey that is good for being it was before my time by quite a bit.

I only knew of few of these since I was born in the late 60's, but still very cool.

I was born in '57. I nailed all but 3. I probably could've gotten all but Playhouse 90 (never watched it), but it made it much harder that more than half weren't the original theme song but only lame studio musician recreations. A lot of those ones I had to really listen to realize what it actually was supposed to be. And I'll bet that's why a lot of people didn't recognize as many as they would have if it had been the actual authentic song from the show. Every authentic theme I knew in the first 2 or 3 notes. What would be really fun is if someone put together one of these using the jingles from those old commercial we used to see over & over & over. Like all those cigarette commercials.... "Winston tastes good like a cigarette should...." or " Parliament...with the filter that's in...recessed in" or "You can take Salem out of the country BUT....You can't take the country out of Sa-lem".

I literally shrieked when I heard Lassie and I Love Lucy. I was born in 2004 lmao.

#1 I Love Lucy!!!

Wow I knew more than half

How did I know most of these? I was born in 86 😂🤣🤣🤣

Very cool color picture of lucy and everyone in I love lucy

Thank goodness for ME TV!

Seeing these videos has made me realize how inundated that time period was with Western/Cowboy themed shows. Seemed very monotonous to me.

The Captain Kangaroo theme's official name is Puffing Billy. It was originally used on a BBC radio children's show.

I Missed, Lassie, Father Knows Best, The Donna Reed Show, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, The Honeymooners, Texaco Star Theatre, Have Gun-Will Travel, The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet, Maverick, Wagon Train, Make Room For Daddy, The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp, You Bet Your Life, The Burns and Allen Show, The Jack Benny Show, The Mickey Mouse, Playhouse 90, Our Miss Brooks, Peter Gunn. The majority I did know were ones I watched as Reruns years later. A Few like Highway Patrol and Superman I remembered watching as a very little kid.

Steve Reeves! The best Superman ever!

08:00 Dude never should have pissed off Sheriff Clootie and The Stone Witch

Gosh we watched a lot of westerns

How about the theme to Ben Casey! ☺️ Oh, and the Jackie Gleason variety show! 😀

I expected to do poorly on this as I was born in 1955, but dang if I didn't get every single one... that's kind of scary. Lassie & Captain Kangaroo (my favorite!)... sure do miss that simple, sweet sort of entertainment!

Got most of them.

Many of these shows had their theme songs re done between seasons.

The Lone Ranger theme is actually an exerpt from Rossini s William Tell Overture

In order: I Love Lucy, Lassie, Gunsmoke, Leave it to Beaver, Father Knows Best, Dragnet, Perry Mason, The Donna Reed Show, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, The Lone Ranger, The Honeymooners, Texaco Star Theatre, American Bandstand, Have Gun, Will Travel, The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet, Maverick, Superman, Wagon Train, Make Room for Daddy, Wyatt Earp, You Bet Your Life, The Burns and Allen Show, The Jack Benny Program, Captain Kangaroo, The Mickey Mouse Club, Highway Patrol, Playhouse 90, Our Miss Brooks, Peter Gunn. My pleasure. I was born in 1954 and I only missed 2, Did pretty well on the rest.

Oh and I love Lucy...😂 Lmao

OMG!! "Captain Kangaroo". That was about a million years ago!!!

I got 13 of them.

I've got I Love Lucy and Leave it to Beaver correct, I was expecting the Rifleman and Dennis the Menace but oh well.

Got half of them born in 72.

I love Lucy

I got 26 right only cause i never cared for Maverick, Gunsmoke and Perry Manson.

I got nearly half, about the same as I did with the 80s. So for me it's: *1960s* Almost all of them. *1970s* Well over half, but not as many as the Sixties. *1980s* Seeing as they were my teenage years, you'd think... but no. Maybe half, probably less. *1950s* About the same as the Eighties, so make of it what you will that I did equally well (poorly) with the decade of my teens and the decade before I was born.

Got about 80% .....not bad for a family who didn’t have a TV back in the 50-60’s 🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫

I was born in 1973 and I use to watch re runs of Gunsmoke, Lassie, and Leave it to Beaver 😂 Lmao I do remember some of those shows but didn't watch them as re runs just remember the titles.

Answering while listening and not watching. 1. I love Lucy 2. ... I don't know... 3. Gunsmoke 4. Leave it to Beaver 5. The Donna Reed Show (wrong) 6. Dragnet 7. Perry Mason 8.

Have Gun Will Travel 15. The Danny Thomas Show (Wrong, I seem to be getting these family shows all mixed up) 16. Maverick (one of my favorite shows) 17. The Adventures of Superman 18. ... I don't know... 19. The Danny Thomas Show 20. Wyatt Earp (Only guessed because it named it) 21. You Bet Your Life 22. ... I don't know... 23. ... I don't know. but sounds familiar 24.
