My dad controlled the tv when he was home (and there was only one). There was no consensus ever taken about what anyone else wanted to watch. He had three type shows he'd watch and nothing else. Westerns, war and cop shows. A few of those shows were okay but I liked comedy a lot. I'd only ever get to see those type of shows if he wasn't home or if I went to a friends house. I love looking back at TV from this era and am glad that a lot of it is becoming public domain now so they're easy to find.

February 1965...it's Saturday night and I'm watching the Hollywood Palace. At 14 years old, I wasn't a big fan of this show...but this Saturday night, the guest host was Groucho Marx. My dad loved the Marx Brothers and, as a result, I grew up loving them too. On this particular night, Groucho's extra special guest was Margaret Dumont...the famous comedic foil in most Marx Brother's movies. Over many years, she had proven herself a good sport while enduring countless insults and pranks from Groucho and his brothers. She and Groucho had a wonderful time running through some bits from the old movies...I enjoyed it greatly. It wasn't until 40+ years later, that I learned Ms. Dumont passed away less than a week after that show. I further learned (via the internet) that Groucho was heartbroken upon learning the news. Summer 1977 saw Elvis and Groucho pass within days of each other...a difficult week for most. Several years ago, my daughter gave me a boxed set of all 13 Marx Brothers movies...needles to say, I've rediscovered my childhood love for Groucho, Harpo, Chico, Zeppo and Margaret as well.

According to The Lennon Sisters, The Lawrence Welk Show moved to another studio that year, which was also they were in color. In one of the shows on PBS, they interviewed Diane, known as Dee Dee Lennon and she said that both she and Peggy were pregnant at the same time and they had to climb a lot of stairs. In their dressing room, they had a sign that read "The Stork Room, with pictures of storks on the walls. Peggy had a son and Diane had a daughter. Diane's first daughter Mary was adopted because she thought she couldn't have any children. She had left Lawrence Welk earlier, but right after she and her husband got Mary, she got pregnant with the baby,and Mary's adoption was supposed to be final, that he lost his job and they thought that Mary would be taken away. So she went to Lawrence and told him what happened and Lawrence weclomed her back.

How about looking at it this way... TV back then was building the vocabulary of narrative and visual gestures and devices which is the basis for how we watch stories now. Some of it was naively charming, some of it bland and empty, some of it shockingly tone deaf, and some small part of it was brilliant for any era. Personally, I don't see how that proportion has changed much. Some TV is brilliant, most of it ranges from derivative to appalling. The form has become more complex over time, but the percentages are about the same.

5:46- Incidentally, NBC objected to Barbara Eden's "cleavage" in the pilot episode, and insisted she wear a less conspicuous form-fitting top for the remainder of the season....and by the way, the series DID have a regular sponsor that season: Liggett & Myers {L&M, Lark, Chesterfield King cigarettes}. It was "participating" advertisers on the alternate weeks Liggett wasn't sustaining the show. And it was filmed in BLACK AND WHITE during season one.

@@FredFlix The beginning of the Jackie Gleason Show always seemed to have the June Taylor dancers, and my Uncle Richard (he died before 1980) always liked it when they had overhead shots, and the dancers would do "kaleidoscopes". Yes, I watched the later Honeymooners episodes (even though Kramden and Norton were lousy singers), but they were showing the 39, 1950s episodes as well. For over 2 months I compared Audrey's Alice to Sheila's Alice, and decided then, that Sheila will always be the REAL Alice.

Without vcr's or dvr's how on earth did you guys decide what to watch? There must've been fights aplenty!

Yes, and many times there was only one TV in the house. That's why we feel today that those programs were precious They were fleeting. They came and went away so you had to be there assuming you were allowed to watch them at all.

The clip of Lurch sort of "singing" was actually from Shivaree, not Shindig.
