When I Retire I'm Gonna Find These Shows on DVDs and Be a Boy Again.

oh my goodness! Beany & Cecil! I lived for that show. As a little girl, I always thought the serpent was actually Puff, the magic dragon. My parents never told me otherwise...Thanks for this, Fred. You are something special.

That was awesome! the 1960s has been and always will be my favorite era for television. A combination of ground breaking material, parodies with tongue in cheek dry humor, and good wholesome family entertainment. It truly was the golden age of tv.

"Don't turn the channel so fast, you're going to break the knob!" (Oops. I broke the knob.) "Go get the pliers!"

Some of these TV shows are from the 50's but I was 7 in 64 and I remember the cartoons. American Bandstand was on at 11 AM Saturdays so I had to relinquish the TV to my teenaged Sister. Thanks for the memories. JD

Ah yes, back when all TV stations actually went off the air each night, and there were only 7 channels on VHF, even in L.A.

You forgot sign off. The American flag would be shown, the station would identify and a moment of prayer.

Here I am...8:30 on Saturday ,19 2020 morning watching and reminiscing of a time that I wish was I still living in.....

you are the best . keep doing what you are doing .

Man do I remember when...I had a great childhood and am so thankful I was able to grow up back then. I remember when my Mom bought me the Beany and Cecil hat that would shot those little propellers off of your head.

A wonderfiul time to be a kid. Loved every minute of it. Still miss my Schwinn Banana seat bike. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

Everything before noon, I watched all of that.

Being a kid in the 60's was great. Proud to be a baby boomer! Great memories.

Loved Beanie & Cecil. Our weekly Saturday night horror movie was called Creature Features (Chicago) and on Friday we watched Jerry G Bishop on the Screaming Yellow Theater. Miss those days😂

I loved the original JQ, and still do! I caught it in Saturday morning syndication in 1968/69, along with my other favourite, The Thunderbirds. Our local station ran them at broadcast begin and I bounced out of bed at 5 a.m. to see them! Ah, Saturday mornings! In my head I divided up the morning into "Triassic", "Jurassic" and "Cretacious". The "Triassic" was the very early morning when my top favourite cartoons came on. The "Jurassic" was the somewhat later ones that were still fun, but not quite as interesting. The "Cretacious" was the late morning, which when the live-action kid's shows came on, most of which I hated. Instead I switched to a show that ran old horror and kaiju films, which were infinitely cooler to 6-year-old me!

I have great memories watching the Thing(from another world) with my father every time it came on tv. That was our movie!

I remember being a child at that time-Saturday Morning was the only day of the week that mothers felt that cold cereal was good nutrition.

Awesome! I remember many of these as I was born in the late 50's.

Damn I loved Saturday morning cartoons in the early seventies!

Our local Saturday late night horror show was called 'Chiller.' I remember watching the original Little Shop of Horrors and Earth vs the Spider. But usually I fell asleep.

OMG...Hippity Hopper!!! That was the coolest opening for a cartoon EVER.

Thanks . . . I just relived my childhood and watched most of these TV shows!

My dad really loved anything Don Adams was in. Tennessee Tuxedo in Saturday morning and Get Smart on Saturday night.

I was 10 then also. Remember them all and the endless westerns. MeTV shows alot of these old programs. Always enjoy.

Great memories back then. I loved the cartoons. Thanks for sharing!❤️

I would have been around 2 1/2 at the time, but my brothers and sisters were old enough to watch 🙂 I remember Friday nights when Chiller Theater came on at 11:30pm. My dad would be in bed, but my mom would stay up and watch them with us, and make snacks like popcorn and home fries made with real lard for us all to eat 🙂 Those were the days!

I had just turned 1 year old on the 27th of August. Now my cousin Robbie was 10 so he probably watched these programs. My late father would tell me my Grandma would cook his breakfast and dress him and he would just sit, his eyes glued to the television watching cartoons. I am 58 and still love cartoons. Tune In With Me and Popeye and The Pink Panther and Bugs Bunny and friends on MeTV. Along with The Simpsons, Family Guy and Southpark.

Wow...I haven't seen the Casper Show in almost 50 years...thanks!

Chiller Theatre in Columbus, Ohio. Honestly Fred, we were watching the same tv shows 1500 miles apart! Great times. All the best bud.

Wow! Now that was poking my memory with a sharp stick! I remembered all of the shows, I have not even thought of most of them since they were originally on! I felt a few dormant brain cells kick back on with that video! (Thanks!) As a pre-teen I loved Rin Tin Tin and Sky King, I can still remember Nellybelle the Jeep on Roy Rogers! These shows have not even been thought of, by me, in 4-5 decades!

Holy cow, cartoons in the afternoon decades before cable?! I must be dreaming!

Thanks Fred. Have a great day

We had Chiller Theatre on at 11:30 with Chilly Billy Cardille. He was a Pittsburgh newsman back in the day. He eventually had a cast of characters in his haunted castle,Terminal Stare,Georgette the fudgemaker(don't ask,lol)Stephen the castle prankster and a few others would drop in occasionally. A double horror feature was shown and in between was trivia,strange but true,ghost stories and stories from around the city. It was so well loved that when Saturday night live came out in "75",they had to play it on a uhf channel wpgh tv 53 because Chiller Theatre was on an NBC affliliate in Pittsburgh WIIC TV. People wrote in and were very angry when they announced that due to SNL, Chiller would be no more! Well,they were wrong! It was the other way around,there was such an outcry that Chiller stayed on its NBC station until "83" when it was finally canceled. It was the only NBC channel in the nation that didn't play SNL in that time slot. It shows how much people in the Burgh loved Chilly Billy. If you want a glimpse of him,he was the reporter in the original Night Of The Living Dead towards the end,the one interviewing the police chief. Chiller ran from "63"-"83" and will be missed by all who grew up with it,it was a Pittsburgh institution and to us old farts,it was a tradition that lives forever in our minds.

As a child of 9 then we would gather around the tuba at 11:30(after the parents watched the news & went to bed) to watch " Shock Theater" with Dr.Paul Bearer(not the one from the WWE}!

Loved it, can see it all so well....great video

Does anyone remember the puppets, Fireball XL 5, puppets on a string. Clever really.

Great video Mr. Fred!! Thank you!!

I wasn't around in 1964 but when I was young Friday and Saturday nights were the best time for old horror movies.

What great memories. Thank you for sharing this

Oh Casper😊I would go to my great grandmothers house she had a remote control tv and sit on her leather "Davenport " eat her delicious oatmeal cookies and watch Casper😊I loved her she was wonderful the shiniest copper pans I've ever seen

Sitting In Front Of The Philco B/W TV With A Bowl Of Quisp Cereal.

WOW! Hoppity Hooper. I had totally forgotten about that one. I think I got it on reruns but I think I used to really like that show. And, of course, Cecil! Still remember them traveling over the Gina Lo-lo-brigita to get to the No Bikini Atoll.

Anybody remember the Bowery Boys.

Completely forgot about Astro Boy. Another of my childhood favorites.

i love your postings . thank you so much . look forward to watching your channel . you rock.

Sept 19 1964..my sixth birthday!!! loved saturday morning cartoons then!!!

It's sad about Lee Aker passing away 😭. I watched reruns of Rin Tin Tin when I was growing up.I hate that all these people are dying now.

I was 3 years old at this time. I do recall our TV being a black and white that used only vacuum tubes. One day it crapped out while I was watching Johnny Ginger and I was pissed. This was a great video and thanks for putting it together. Greetings from Arizona.

Back when television was worth watching

I was 9 days old on September 19,1964!! I love your videos it's a slice of Nostalgia

Great stuff! I was about three months old by September 19, 1964, so what I saw of this schedule came in reruns in the early to mid 1970s.

The Sixties were a start, but the Seventies ruled. I was born in the Summer of Love (1967), meaning I got the best of both worlds. The Old School, plus the new. At one time, I thought My Three Sons was state of the art, but The Brady Bunch blew it out of the water. Yes, I know you're laughing at me for giving props to TBB but it was just one example of how the new entertainment made the rest seemed old fashioned. The Banana Splits, Cattanooga Cats, Secret Squirrel, Top Cat, Scooby Doo & many others kept up the pace. What a decade! (I know there was some crossover in dates, but yeah, for me the Seventies was the Golden Age.

I was up by 6 to watch cartoons to about 11 then maybe I could go to the Saturday matinee or go play outside

Ah yes! When Saturday mornings belonged to the kids! Nowadays, on Saturday mornings, there's nothing but news shows and the educational shows that the local stations are now required by the FCC to air.

Priceless. How good we had it then.

Ahh - my 6th birthday... I definitely remember some of those, not so much some of the others. I would have only watched the ones on earlier - by mid morning I would be outside playing. Thanks for the memories!

Excellent Video . Saturdays on TV were indeed special back in those days . Lots of Live Action and Great Cartoons such as you show here . Then at noon , it was off to the Movies for 10 cents . All in all . I would say that those times were much better for both Children and Adults . Thank You for all of the Wonderful Memories .

Looney tunes, was the best for cartoons. Also mr. magoo was another great show.

Fred you always get me in the feels. My entire week was planned around Saturday at noon, Sky King. ❤️. We would have been great friends as kids. Thanks.

In Omaha, Nebraska, we watched Dr. Sanguinary on Saturday nights. Complete with an offscreen Igor. It's where I first saw "The Little Shop of Horrors", and the one movie that really scared me, "The Day of the Triffids".

Thank you FredFlix...

As soon as the music began, I knew it was The Thing from Another World!! My favorite classic sci-fi/horror movie!! Another great day in front of the TV.

How in the WORLD did I EVER miss THIS masterpiece??? This is awesome stuff!

Great to see the Saturday show clips. I was 15 in 1964...well after my Aug birthday, so I remember the CBS lineup vividly...I spent the week hoping for Sat morning. But was ruined for me after that day as CBS didn't go on with Rin Tin Tin and it didn't go for syndication till fall of 65. Couldn't see my favorite dog and horses show.

That theme song to The Outer Limits used to haunt my childhood dreams. Wonderful piece of scary music.

In NYC, Saturday night from 8:30 pm to 10:00 pm, we had the choice of Chiller Theater on channel 11 or Creature Feature on channel 5 !

Finally..something of which I am too young to recall...keep it coming, FredFlix!..

It was 1959 and I was four. As my parents both worked, I spent the day at Grandma's house. She used to make me some scrambled eggs. There was a lady and her name was Mae Shucker who used to come by the house every morning with fresh-laid eggs in her basket. She'd say, "How many eggs would you like today, Mary?" And then I would watch TV. Mighty Mouse was one of my favorites (Here I come to save the day.) I had a t-shirt with Mighty Mouse on it, and it had a cape in the back. I used to sit on the arm of her sofa, and pretend I was on a space ship, just like my hero...

Thanks, I really miss the days of local TV. I loved channel 20 on UHF out of Oakland.

Thanks for posting this. Here in Pittsburgh, Saturday nights would always end with Chiller Theater. And then, as you showed, TV would actually sign till the next morning.

I love all your videos. I'm also nostalgia buff. Keep em coming

Very nostalgic for sure!

Loved the 'Outer Limits'. Cool hearing the actual recording you made as a kid. Very cool.

Love this! The TV shows that aired on the occasion of my 7th birthday!

A great time to be a kid. You had to get through the early morning farm report at 7am(one hour) if you got up too early.

I loved Valentine's Day! Thank you.

Our late night tv show was called "Weird" -- old horror movie heaven !

I was all of 20 days old on this date. My saturday morning cartoon memories didnt start till about 1968-69. I can still relate though.

me then in 1st grade...... my loving caring father signed me up for special gym classes on saturday mornings.... they even had trampoline... but me complain.... saturday mornings were special on tv... cartoons cartoons and cartoons that was me before 24 hour cartoon channels ..... alas thank you for saving these precious broadcasts

9/19/64 was the date for the final Saturday episode of Captain Kangaroo...for one year. Mister Mayor first aired on 9/26/64, for logistical reasons, and the Captain returned on 9/25/65.

At least when your parents took over the TV they didn't put on Dairyland Jubilee and The Lawrence Welk Show. Pure torture.

I was seven years old on that date (would have been eight in October) and I do remember some of those shows. I feel sorry for the youngsters today who never experienced Saturday morning.

I was 8 then and did watch these cartoons. They were great...

Good video again mate, Great stuff ,Mr Fred ,

I’m surprised we got out of the house on Saturday. I remember all of these.

I love going down memory lane. I've been looking for "The Friendly Giant" and the t.v. show of "Heidi"? I've subscribed will check you later as can't rec. you tube comments for some reason. omg just noticed you put the date on! you've done more research for this era t.v. that I've seen on the tube to date, really really special. thx very very much.

You and I led almost identical lives, but mine was Oklahoma and Alabama. Had the Marvel collection, the monster models, the 45s, moved at the end of 4th grade (and the middle of freshman year to New Jersey, of all places). Good times. Space Ghost, don't forget Space Ghost.

We had a noontime horror movie show in Boston too. It was "Creature Double Feature," on Channel 56 (WKGB-TV), and they showed 2 back-to-back movies, usually of the Toho variety or some low-budget drive-in type fare from the late '40s to the mid-'60s. The show ran from 2 to 4 pm, and then we had another one that aired late at night.

Part of the Tennessee Tuxedo Show was a 2-3 minute short called Commander McBragg. He cracked me up. I love Wendy on Casper the Ghost. My name is Wendi. Spelling difference.

Great memories! In Phoenix we had our own local version of Out Of This World. It was called World Beyond & it was when I watched all the great old sci-fi & monster movies!

I was born that year - but I remember some of those programs, especially the cartoons which were shown well into the 70's!!

great video.

Saturday mornings had "Gumby and Pokey", Clutch Cargo (With his pal Spinner and Paddlefoot) and some space cartoon I can't remember the name of. Cartoons werew done by noon at the latest. Then there were westerns like The Cisco Kid and The Lone Ranger. Then the afternoon spagetti westerns or the creepiest scary shows I ever saw, still gives me nightmares. then by 7:30 it was bedtime anyway. Circa 1964.

I was an 8 year old in 1964. Watching this is as close as I'll ever get to stepping into a time machine.

The intro to the Outer Limits always scared the daylights out of me!

Loved how Tennessee Tuxedo sounded just like the Senator from Tennessee in the '70's Jim Sasser.

It helped to have a color set in 1964 to see these shows at their best. Our family didn't switch to a color sewt until 1966 - the year NBC, CBS and ABC all began colorcasting full time.

Thanks for telling when Underdog began. I knew it had to have begun sometime in 1964.

Living in DC we had DC channels and Baltimore Channels That was so cool back then Baltimore Saturday afternoons I'd be over my Grands house watching Black & White Westerns and Three Stooges or Little Rascals Loved those days

my dad had control of the tv, so at 7:30 on Saturday nights, we watched Jackie Gleason's American Scene Magazine.
