2:26-So cool to see Jack Sheldon in a live action TV show! And to all you Schoolhouse Rock fans like me, yes, it's THAT Jack Sheldon! The same Jack Sheldon who sang "Conjunction Junction", "I'm Just A Bill" and a dozen other Schoolhouse Rock segments! I looked it up!

Man, I love these! You really did a great job, first of all, finding the hard to find material, then editing it all together, fantastic job! I loved the Vintage Celebrity Commercials series you did. I appreciated that you edited the actors name over the commercial that they were in, a few of them I didn't even know. I look forward to more of your excellent work.

On the famous "Andy Griffith" theme, master TV composer Earle Hagen actually did the whistling himself. It cost him $10 to record...and it's still heard today!

Amazing obscure stuff, fun to see, and brings back memories of my childhood, thanx!

Love these. Thanks for sharing! A lovely walk down memory lane when TV was sweeter, gentler, CLEANER!

Wow, just when I didn't think it could get any better. Fred, I don't know where you keep digging this stuff up but I'll chip in for a shovel as long as you keep digging. Loved the Rat Patrol and Felony Squad. There was another show back then called NYPD with I think Frank Converse and I'm having a brain cramp with the main star. Help me out someone!

You have a gift for grabbing us with these FRED. I still have a MONKEEMOBILE by CORGI

Would love to be back, when Life was easy, 1966-1967, yes to be 11/12 yrs old.

I had a Rat Patrol lunch box and thermos in 1967 for kindergarten.

On the Rat Patrol, Hans Gudegast went on to fame as Victor Newman on "The Young and the Restless" as Eric Braeden

I was 10 in 1965. We had one TV in the living room, my dad choose what we all watched, usually cowboy shows. In the summer we would go next door and watch tv at their house. We got our first color TV in 1969, this Remember because I had appendicitis and my parents borrowed money from my grandma to but a color tv. They would pay her back10.00 a week,I found a payment book when we cleaned out the house after they psssed. No remote then. When we got married in late 77, yes graduated hs in December and got married New Year's Eve 1977. Our first tv was a Sony with a remote on a long wire. Theses are all such cool clips. Can you find any from " queen for a day" ? My late moms favorite, I think she sent I cards weekly together picked but alas, it never happened. In fact I forgot about that show until I started watching your you tubes

Really love your vids, it is so fun going back in time!

R.I.P. Peter Tork.

Dick Gautier was also Hymie the robot in "Get Smart". Leonard Stern and Buck Henry were behind "Get Smart". Richard Long, from "The Big Valley", would be a star in, "Nanny and the Professor" in mid 1970. Sebastian Cabot, Mr. French, from "Family Affair" did voiceovers in Winnie the Pooh.

Always amazed by these at the shows I remember, the ones I remember only on another day and shows that I never saw at a time I watched a LOT of television. And with only three networks I knew what was on even if I did not watch it, but I never remember Iron Horse, for example. It also surprises me that Rat Patrol was only a half-hour. By the mid to later 1960s there were few half-hour drams on any longer.

I was 2 in '66...and love these commercials!...I live in the Central Time Zone, and never knew 'prime time' started before 7pm!...thanks!

Awesome compilation! I love your videos so much. Keep up the great work! These really being me back.

I always wondered when I used to watch The Lucy Show if she was eating a Lipton tea bag.

My brother and I were great fans of Mr Terrific! Something about John McGiver's voice that made us laugh every time he spoke.

Ironically, Run For Your Life was on NBC for three years from 1965-68, despite the fact that the main character played by Ben Gazzara had ONLY two years to live. Also of note, RFYL was created by Roy Huggins, who also created that other man-on-the-run show for ABC, The Fugitive (1963-67) and Perry Como co-produced RFYL through his production company, Roncom Films, named for his son Ronnie Como.

CBS started the season out with THE JEAN ARTHUR SHOW in the 10 PM slot, where she played a lawyer in practice with her son. When it was dropped after 13 weeks, TO TELL THE TRUTH was brought back from the wilderness of a Sunday at 5 PM time.

We got our first color T.V. in 1966 (Motorola, 25" screen, French Provincial. My Mom was into French Provincial). My brother and I used to turn the color control all the way up, to get the jewels really bright on "Family Affair." My brother got me a DVD some years ago for Christmas, and some of the things on "Family Affair" had serious content. Did you know that Brian Keith was the son of Peg Entwhisle, a minor theater star in the early '30's? They both committed suicide. Maureen O'Hara said that Keith did not. He had lung cancer and emphysema and his daughter committed suicide two months before.

That Andy Griffith Show closing came from the episode "Barney Comes to Mayberry", originally aired on CBS Jan. 23, 1967. I like the original ending w/ Andy & Opie coming back from their successful fishing trip. I'm surprised the sponsor products aren't appearing in the empty corners of the credits, which often happened on shows of that era.

7:27- Because Liggett & Myers {Lark, L&M, Chesterfield 101} was the series primary sponsor, they didn't like the original "MEN AGAINST EVIL" title, and insisted it be changed before the series' premiere.

I believe the Monkee's cartoon sequence was by Jack Davis (worked for MAD magazine).

...In Color! (except, of course for all of us with BW TV’s)

The Felony Squad opening looks very much like the opening of Police Squad!

1:03- See, in promoting their 1966-'67 schedule, NBC's advertising department couldn't decide if Jeannie had a bottle or a lamp. So they had an artist create a drawing- which they also used in some of their newspaper and TV GUIDE ads- that looked like a little of BOTH. And it just wasn't so.

There was an old action drama in the '60s or '70s called the immortal. He had blood that could cure anything and he kept having to run away from people who wanted to kill him.Neat show

Always liked Frank Converse, he was one of my first crushes along with Doug McClure.

2:14 "Run, Buddy, Run" starring the same Jack Sheldon from Merv Griffin and Schoolhouse Rock! fame. :)

My father in law went to Thomas Jefferson high school in Dallas with Micheal Nesmith . Did you know that Micheal's mother invented white out ?

7:06- "'THE FELONY SQUAD'! Brought to you by------------ *LARK!* America's most popular new cigarette! 'There is NOTHING like a Lark'!"

"Don't cry Buffy. I'll take care of you". Lol

Lots of great shows back then. I was 16 in 1966 and having grown up watching Combat! I thought Rat Patrol was just too silly.

8:27 The Flashbacks of Four way Windowpane Just Came Back.

As always, really nice stuff. Thank you !

Run Buddy Run and Coronet Blue seem to have the same basic premise, except that one's a comedy and the other a drama.

Great post. Thanks!

And the sugar always wound up on the bottom of the bowl with the milk. I used to try to sweeten my Rice Krispies when I was a kid. I started putting sliced bananas into it. But I like it plain most of the time now.

Mr. Terrific art work was by those zany people over at Roger Ramjet!

the male cast members of "The Big Valley" are the FINEST!:)

My pop used to watch Combat and Rat Patrol almost every Saturday afternoon. Unless boxing was on.

There are days when the score for a TV show intro, from this time period, pops into my head for no apparent reason. And yes, 'Family Affair' is one of them. 😕 ...Mrs. Beasley was evil...

A pity the viewers never gave Coronet Blue a chance. Maybe it was something along the Jason Bourne stories.

At 2:13, was that Joe Sirola doing voice-over? He was a prominent voice-over as well as an actor.

"Big Valley" was dominated by Barbara Stanwyck's hard-hitting portrayal of Victoria Barkley. RIP Barbara.

Half of these shows I don't remember, and I grew up from 1965 (year I was adopted) til 1975 when I moved to CA from MA

By ten my three year old self had been in bed for probably three hours. I still love watching Family Affair.

Pleased to see my favorite series "The Felony Squad" as part of the collage which I'm still waiting for a D.V.D. release.

The Monkees...IN COLOR!

Anyone else see the Fox ranch and Bronson Canyon in some of the promos? Also, sounds like it might be Tommy Tedesco and other Wrecking Crew members providing music. Cool stuff.

Monday nights...dinner at my friend's house, then in front of her color console TV set promptly at 7:30 to watch The Monkees...

Monkeess was a great TV show!

That Mr. Terrific drawing looked like Alfred E. Neuman!

Yay! The untouchable s guy.. He was a,real nice guy. Bruce Gorden..

50 years ago I was 11 years old in Lancaster Pennsylvania.

Ben Alexander also starred as Joe Fridays partner!

3:10, just like Shoeshine Boy and Roger Ramjet.

I was hoping you would show the intro of the Jean Arthur Show, when she's riding a carousel...

Roger Miller was a better variety show GUEST than a host.

Did you see how much sugar he put on that cereal!!!!!

Thx fred !

Monkey mobile, Batmobile, or Munster hearse?💖

How long did the Felony Squad last? It looked kinda good!

The Man From U.N.C.L.E. you forgot about that.

Mr. Terrific and Captain Nice didn't seem all that long ago.

I loved Run Buddy Run, Captain Nice, and Me and the Chimp. I had really bad taste.

7:35 "The Andy Griffith Show": How is regular cast member Don Knotts a "Special Guest Star"? :?

Wow the naked gun intro.

7:14 : That flashing police light was copied for POLICE SQUAD, which I've read was a satire of FELONY SQUAD.

Sooooooo second grade! 😊 Miss Kemp, by the way.

'Coronet Blue' - one of the all-time crappiest theme songs in the history of television.

That sounded like Roy Orbison singing the ''Coroner Blue'' song.

Coronet Blue rocks 💙

50 years ago I am 11 years old. FredFlix so what?

i saw the entire rat patrol in the late 70's...they did not have a single decent accurate german vehicle in the lot..and i rooted for the germans because....how could anybody in open jeeps not get shot!!!!

@3:44... FEE-NAY!

I wonder how many millennials even know who Rommel was or what he did. Or how many even care. Lol
