When the networks actually planned out Saturday night instead of using it as a dumpster for reruns and newsmagazines. I miss those days (which really aren't that long ago...)

I was 5 years old glad in 64 I glad I saw good family entertainment tv back in the 60s.

Wish we had tv shows like this again. I wasn’t born yet to actually watch them but meh! So thankful for youtube ❤️

I loved The Hollywood Palace and other variety shows.

Twilight Zone and Outer Limits were my favorite shows. I was a strange kid.

For all you advertising fans and car enthusiasts, the blonde with the Lustre Creme sign is Pam Austin better known as the Dodge girl, and the announcer was none other than Johnny Olson of The Price Is Right

Thanks for the sweet upload!

If they had moved "Gilligan's Island" a half-hour earlier or "Mr. Magoo" a half-hour later, they would have had Jim Backus competing against himself...

AWESOME!!!! Thank you so much!!!

No wonder why I never heard of Kentucky Jones, it was on opposite Gilligan’s Island

the original Outer Limits! My all-time favorite series! I was about 10 when it first aired ..... and it never failed to creep me out SOOOO good! In a perfect world, every show & movie ever made would be affordably available on disc/streaming. There are so many that i will never get to see again.

I was a 7-year-old second grader back in the fall of '64. And my brother was born that November as well. But I do remember some of these shows.

Thanks for this. Makes me feel old because I remember it all, but still fun anyway.

Excellent! I was just a young tike at the time, so probably the only thing I watched was Mr. Magoo (Hollywood Palace at Christmas and a year or two later). When did Jackie Gleason move the show to Miami? Didn't know it was in NYC. Also, had not heard of Mr. Broadway but LOVE the Peter Gunn-ish opening. Saw it was Dave Brubeck. Of course - that's why it was so good!

I was born in 1980 but, I was still able to catch a lot of these on Nick at Nite. I loved shows like Gilligans Island, Mr. Ed, Dobie Gillis, and so many great shows.

Don't remember Kentucky Jones. Nice Christmas gift. Thank you sir and Merry Christmas.

Much better content than we get with 100X more channels. The three networks ( ABC, NBC, CBS ) managed to have great, FAMILY FRIENDLY, entertainment of a far higher caliber than the ‘Bottom Of The Dumpster’ dreck we see today.

Jackie Gleason and the Kraft Music Hall both left us in 1970

I was 7 that season. I don't remember Mr. Broadway or Kentucky Jones, but I instantly remembered the others. A little too well in some cases.

Could you imagine taking a lion that is no tin a cage into a TV studio today? Just thinking of the possible lawsuits if something went wrong would cause some major heart attacks for the insureance people.

They did not program for Friday and Saturday nights as they figured everyone went out to the bars!

I remember watching all of those programs except Kentucky Jones. Probably because either (a) I was 4 years old at the time and more than likely was sent to bed after Flipper; or (b) it was up against Gilligan’s Island and Lawrence Welk (I remember my my mom liked Gilligan but my grandmother liked Mr. Welk).

Even back then, ABC knew what the people wanted. The Outer Limits & The Hollywood Palace were worthwhile watching.

Our local NBC affiliate came in like crap at our house so we didn’t watch many shows on that channel

Now I know what was going on as I was busy being born...still, I remain 'Ginger' over 'Mary Ann'....lol

Kentucky Jones is available on DVD...only in Germany with German dubs.

THE HOLLYWOOD PALACE premiered in January 1964 . Replacing the short lived JERRY LEWIS SHOW. THP ran for 7 seasons.

Thanks for posting. Almost forgot about ya.

Sue Ann Langdon's appearance on Gleason's 'American Scene Magazine' was a on-off gig playing Alice Kramden on 10/20/62. Apparently she and Gleason didn't get along.

"And the rest"

"The Outer Limits" got cancelled in the middle of the 1964-65 season after losing its viewership to the hugely successful "Jackie Gleason Show" on CBS.

Must say I'm surprised Gleason was on so early on Saturday night. Figured the 9-10 slot would have made more sense.

If you wanted to put a kid into quick depression, make him watch the Lawrence Welk show.

Old school

SHOWS THAT DIDN'T MAKE IT: Hollywood Palace Mr. Broadway Kentucky Jones

The "SS Minnow" on Gilligan's Island was named after the FCC Chairman (updated) who said TV was a "Vast Wasteland." Same guy got PBS their Broadcast license for all that "quality" programming no one watches!

2:24 "Fluffy" is on KZfaq. You're welcome. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q-CJn5aVuc3PdoU.html
