I loved the all-male chorus, too! I still do...

"Sing-a-long-with-Mitch"! Good show. The words were put up on the screen. We watched it on the Dumont TV in the wood cabinet with four legs. { I was the "Remote Control" back then,,,, I laid on the rug, and rolled over to change the channel or turn down the volume during the commercials. 🙂} That and "The Lawrence Welk Show" and "Gunsmoke" were regularly watched at our house in the 1960's. Sadly Mitch Miller was ditched by the networks. Replaced by 3 chord wonder twits and a no talent made-up "Family". Ugh.

@@gusloader123 Hey Gus! Love your remarkable comments! The three shows you mention were definitely winners. We watched them at my house on an old cabinet model RCA Victor B&W (there was no "Living Color" in my house till 1970). We did not get Lawrence Welk because, at the time, there was no ABC affiliate in Baton Rouge. Always watched it, however, at grandparents house in New Orleans, when we visited (twice per month). Mitch Miller was, for years, senior music director at Capitol Records. He was instrumental in launching Rosemary Clooney's career (among others). You're right ---- the network ditched Mitch Miller and replaced him with saccharine! In 1970's, ABC ditched Lawrence Welk (after 20 years). Mr. Welk started his own network and went on for another eight years in syndication, retiring 1983. Incidentally, I was the "remote control" in my house back in the day!

I thought it was just me

Both of you are out of sync 😂

He lived to be 99!

One of the best schools of music....if not THE best

When I was a kid, Mitch came to our area's Camp Thunderbird & did a performance one summer afternoon. He put on quite a show.

I love Carol! She is The Best!

Yep. Seems they forgot that a Penny is made of copper. 🤔

Allen Ludden was once an English teacher; and later the host of G.E. College Bowl. He was very erudite courtly. The show Password was always polite and well-mannered; educational as well as funny.

Phyllis Diller.

Well, Carol, Lucy and Phyllis were all different types of comedians. Lucy played Lucy Ricardo pretty much and Phyllis Diller did stand up...

look no more...

I thought it was my computer.

@@lynnturman8157 I noticed that too. Does it correct itself?

I am no computer or sound expert, but I would have thought that it wouldn't be so impossibly difficult, with modern technology, for someone to re-synch it. I found it very distracting .

@@craftypam9992 No it’s not difficult, you can do it in iMovie, detach audio, shift it forward or backwards to sync, can be done in less than 2 mins

That version, which she premiered in 1959 was called "Once Upon A Matress" and CBS did a television version in about 1964. It is on KZfaq and while the performances are great, the copy on the computer is faded in picture and sound.

Right as she introduced her partner?

I saw she did it at 18:46 when she was talking about her little sis, Chrissie.

Chrissie reminds me of Stockard Channing....wow!

Mitch Miller lived to be 99...

@@randysills4418 🥁 Wow , that is incredible !! I didn’t know that. 🎺

Oh, I don't think that at all. I just think you can't find people like that as easy today.

that's because Carol was actually funny and knew how to make almost any situation an opportunity. She used all of her assets as just that, like anyone does in their profession if they are worth a damn at it! She was so damn good. These hacks nowadays that just talk about their awful sex lives and other pathetic bullshit that can't hold up next to someone like her and Joan Rivers.

@@Poeticjedi I'd like to add Phyllis Diller to your list, what say you?

@@donaldleroy6502 no argument

Maybe because the man had a beard. I thought of cat.

The word whiskers is not commonly used today to indicate facial hair, but it certainly was in common use in 1962 and older folks like me still use the old meaning. I just looked in the Cambridge Dictionary, which gives this old meaning as a secondary "old-fashioned" definition.

@@erikkrauss2 Ok, cool, thanks!

And she looks at least 39

Dr. Livingstone I. Presume she actually was thinner in the 60s she said this on the Carol Burnett show during question and Answers and some people age differently as they get older my cousin look totally different in her 20s then she she does now in 40s she had no work done FYI Carol Burnett didn’t get plastic surgery until 1980 or so when she did something to her chin She beautiful either way

Maybe because she started toning down the eyebrow and eyelash makeup? (I'm a guy, ladies, so I apologize if I'm using the wrong words.)

She was younger and rather appealing. Her sister was a fox.

It seems to me that when she was younger - for example as she appeared on "The Twilight Zone" - her mouth looked even bigger. That, and I think the medium of clack and white made her hair look darker.

It was an expression used in a lot of crime and gangster movies.

Yes, when I first started watching this episode, the words were in sync, but about a third of the way into it, their words were way off! Boo!

What?

Well, it IS 1962! (but it is hard to follow)
