you're freaking me out. i'm also 61, and have a pro post house in hollywood. but your source material is blowing me away. growing up in chicago, wgn, and all this ephemeral stuff that we havent seen in 50 years is not only amazing, but your brain locks this stuff up, and when you see it again, you're transported back to the old black and white in your folks basement. good stuff. good mastering.

Feel free to keep saying it, Gregg! :-) If you'll notice in the FBI opening, the announcer said Efram ZIMBALIST Jr., with heavy emphasis on the Zimbalist. I suspect this was at Efram's request, because after 77 Sunset Strip so many people thought his last name was Junior.

I've noticed after watching episodes back to back that the cliffhanger endings were sometimes changed. The hero might literally plunge off a cliff at least 30 feet at the end of one chapter and then, mysteriously, by next week's chapter he somehow grabs a branch only 3 feet off the cliff. Back when the chapters were running once a week in the theaters producers assumed people would forget exactly what happened, but I'm sure a lot of viewers said, "Hey! I thought he..." But there was no way to check it.

I find it amazing, that television programming rarely changed, from the 1960's through the 1970's. I guess cable was the main culprit of change. Before cable, if there was "nothing on" the TV, one would find something else to do (as a kid, it was build models, play with electric trains, read comic books and much more). Cable changed that way of thinking. And the kids of today have no clue what it is like to spend time like that. That is a shame, in my eyes.

Fred, I couldn't even watch some of these shows Sunday in 66, I could only get one channel on my set and that was CBS. Couldn't watch Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea, that was ABC. So was the FBI. Perry Mason bored me as an 11 yr old, although I appreciated it more as an adult. If I remember right Mr Ed and My Favorite Martian was on CBS on Sunday nights. However, everybody in my family watched Bonanza.
@FredFlix7 жыл бұрын
I hope you've been able to catch up with the reruns, Larry. I was 11 in '66 as well and I can tell you that by that time I realized how silly Voyage had become. Irwin Allen did a great job making his shows, but he didn't respect the intelligence of his viewers.
@wiseguymaybe7 жыл бұрын
True. I had always watched Lost In Space and even at that time I was wondering, when are we going to see a Sci Fi show that would make me feel like I was watching the future. Then that Summer in 66 I went to my grandmothers house and she had four channels. Finally got to see Batman, always wanted to see it, my best friend at the time raved about it, and I hate to say it, I was actually disappointed. BAM! POW!. I thought it was going to be more serious. But now, as an adult, I like the humor in it. That same summer I was introduced to The Green Hornet, which I loved, and then a new Sci Fi series, which I didn't even know existed. Hold on to your hats, right in front of my screen I saw this saucer shaped space ship attached with two cigar shaped cylinders and I asked my friend, "WHAT IS THIS?" He said, "This is Star Trek." My reaction.....:Star what????" FINALLY a sci fi show that made me believe I was watching something from the future. My first episode called Charlie X.
@FredFlix7 жыл бұрын
My first episode was also Charlie X and I was blown away. I had never seen a ship like hat and wondered how could it land. As for Batman, yeah, I didn't get it either. I didn't understand "camp." I just thought it was stupid. I preferred Lost in Space, but in time that grew quite unwatchable. I remember though the first episode of Lost: We had been watching it for 59 minutes and it looked like there was no way they could wrap up the story in one minute. Then, wow, Continued Next Week, Same Time, Same Channel. I still get chills when I see that.

I remember when Beany and Cecil, The Beatles, and Bullwinkle were on ABC on Sunday morning. Davey & Goliath actually aired earlier on the local CBS affiliate, usually about 8-ish. The pro football games in Nebraska would more than likely be for the NFL, the Packers vs. the Lions, and at 3:00 Central time NBC would likely have Chiefs-Oilers or Chargers-Broncos for the AFL. My family (I was 4 then) usually watched the NFL because we couldn't get the NBC station at that time. We were finally able to get NBC when we moved to a house two blocks east of where we lived in 1966.

Later, the ABC Sunday night movie had good feature films, like the Bond series which they paid through the nose for. Voyage would have been an iconic show like Star Trek but the lead characters were too forgettable.

I’m surprised at the number of cartoons. When I was a kid (late 60s, early 70s) Sunday mornings and afternoons were a tv wasteland. Almost no cartoons, except for a show from Buffalo called Rocketship 7 on WKBW an ABC affiliate. The Sunday episode was a recap of stuff from the week. Most of the other programming was religious. The only other non-religious show I can remember was WKBW’s Big Show of the Week, a movie at 1:00.

Sunday mornings were basically a dumping ground for former hits on ABC

More memories from when I was but a rugrat. Call me crazy, but I think they should have made new movies of Have Gun Will Travel & Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea.

If you're still responding to comments Fred, did your 3 stations include all 3 major networks, CBS, NBC & ABC? If so, I would imagine they also showed reruns & maybe produced a few local shows. We had several children's, sports, music, classic movie & other locally produced shows. TV was magical for us back then. I suppose it still is for kids now days, but I wonder.

That's correct re my local stations, Mr22thou.

These cartoons wouldn't have been shown on Sunday morning. Back then, there was religious programming, stuff like "Light unto my Feet." Maybe Davey and Goliath, since it was "religious," but not The Beatles.

The networks showed cartoons among the public affairs and religious programs on Sunday throughout the 60's and into the 70's

Davey and goliath came on at like 6am on Saturday's when I was a little kid. I didn't like it but it was the 1st kids show of the morning so I watched it.

I saw the then-Boston Patriots live at three stadiums (Fenway, Boston College, Harvard) when I was a kid. They were the ugly stepsisters of New England sports back then. Look where they are now! (Patriots haters, keep out.)

I can do one better. I was at the AFL 1963 Championship game between The San Diego Chargers and Boston Patriots which the Chargers won that game 51-10. My parents bought me a ticket to it on my birthday Jan 5th 1964. It was wild. Both Keith Lincoln and Paul Lowe ran wild. I was only 14 at the time. It was in old Balboa Stadium which only held just over 30,000. They used tall cranes to hang the cameras. Back then it was something. Two players from that Chargers team made the HOF. Lance Alworth and Ron Mix. I played cards with Mix 25 or so years after in a card room.
