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

And at 22 I was the oldest bride in my circle of friends.

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.

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.

The series was to have been produced as a twice-weekly half-hour "continuing drama" focusing on the public and personal life of cops (a la "PEYTON PLACE"), and titled "MEN AGAINST EVIL". When the show's executive producer decided that wouldn't work, and proposed a basic "cops vs. crime" drama- with NO romantic entanglements, whatsoever- 20th Century-Fox and ABC agreed. But Liggett & Myers, the show's primary sponsor, objected to the word "EVIL" in the title, and it became "THE FELONY SQUAD" by the time it first aired in September 1966.
