I still think Diana Rigg as Emma Peel is one of the hottest women to ever grace the TV screen.

One of the best memories of my life was the Christmas that I got white go-go boots! Thanks, Hullabaloo! And Mom!

TV in 1966 became more interesting in Fall when Star Trek TOS was premiered.

Wow what a elegant and classy show and cast The Avengers were.

Hullabaloo. See, 2019 kiddies? We were young once like you are now. Life will go far faster than you can possibly imagine, so enjoy it while you can. Seriously.

God, I LOVE these videos!!! ❤📺

I was a Senior in high school. I loved the 50's and 60's.

I explained to my niece that my first crush was 'Duckie' from NCIS. She thought I was kidding. Thank God for You Tube.

Aww...the black-and-white Emma Peel AVENGERS opening, one of the best ever.

Diana Rigg. Yes.

"The Avengers" was by far the coolest and most cutting-edge show that appears in this compilation. It quickly zoomed to popularity with young adults, which led to it being filmed in color the next season; it was only shown this way in the USA because there still wasn't color TV yet in Britain. Its peak of popularity was brief, though, because once Diana Rigg found out that the head cameraman was being paid more than she was, she quit. Her replacement the next season couldn't possibly fill her shoes, and the show ended. What I really liked about her, at the ages of 12 and 13, was that she was strong and take-charge, and could fight. I always had been aggravated by stupid shuddering and cringing females who just stood by looking scared while the good guy was defending her from the villain. Mrs. Peel was NEVER like that.

Even though I was just nine years old, I still hold some wonderful memories of such a year!

I was just recently enjoying Diana Rigg's first season on The Avengers on VuDu until they pulled it from their, "free with commercials" line up. Great show, smart, witty, sexy and action packed.

we never missed ed Sullivan or dean martin both in color in 1965. also mchales navy (b&w) and the Lawrence welk show (tank you, boyce) and hee haw. what a time to grow up, culturally,and visably...... the 1960's....... a true time of wonder. we will never experience the likes of those times again. nothing will be.... or (unfortunately) has been the same again,or since. those innocent times are..... long,long gone. rip,1960's

Loved "Hullabaloo" when I was a kid and my parents never missed "Peyton Place." (That stately, melancholy theme makes me misty-eyed to this day.) *sigh* I miss this era of entertainment. There really was something for everyone in 1966 and my whole family watched TV together. Entertainment is so fragmented nowadays (and so violent), I can't help feeling as a culture we've lost something. Thanks for sharing. (The programming grid at the end is a nice touch.)

I loved the Avengers and that opening theme is incredible.

So, these shows are what my Mom was watching right after I was born. Great line-up! Thank you for posting! :)

I never knew that Ann B. Davis was on The John Forstythe Show. That was 3 years before she was Alice the housekeeper on The Brady Bunch.

I was only in third grade back in the spring of '66. I became a Green Acres fan that spring.

Thanks for posting. What a nostalgic trip. I've never heard of some of these episodes. Would love to see these episodes. I cried a couple happy tears on the shows I remember. 😂😂😂😂😂

When Diana Rigg left the Avengers it went straight down hill

Ooo, the Avengers. Coolness.

We were a CBS on Monday nights family. It would have stayed on Channel 2 all evening.

Thanks for this video! Memories! I was 17 at the time. I did a lot of channel changing back in those days. It was exercise, because we didn't have remote controls on our TV's, and we only had four stations to choose from. I was madly in love with Diana Rigg and never missed an episode of the Avengers. I remember the blackout that was referred to on "I've Go a Secret"! I was working part time at a supermarket that night. They sent us all home early, when it became known that the power was not going to come back on anytime soon. Hullabaloo was important too, for a young music lover! I still watch Andy Griffith on METV! Thanks again!

"Mr Bryan, you've got one year left, maybe two...depending on the ratings!"

I love it, I know all of these openings, even though many of the shows, I never watched (born in 1959).

On that daytime version of To Tell the Truth that featured Otto Preminger,, Mark Goodson and Henry Morgan were the two impostors.

The vigorous go-go dancing on "Hullabaloo" was always a pleasure to watch. It was a more polished and adult-like show than "Shindig!" on ABC. The first number of each show was a group lip-synching their recent hit, while 4 or 5 beautiful and fashionably-dressed young woman stood frozen in one pose for the entire performance. Speaking of which, I liked how the theme song of the second program shown in this video, "The Legend of Jesse James", was redone with a very strong go-go beat for this season.

What a cast for 12 O'Clock High! Early Avengers with Emma Peel! Andy Williams with David McCallum and Run For Your Life were nice surprises.

Hullabaloo was must see TV in my house.

Such classic TV!!

6:42 The Lucy Show as well as The Andy Griffith Show were shows almost everyone I used to know watched and liked as well as myself when I was old enough watching them when they had reruns years later on KMSP channel 9 in the 1970's. Those reruns were on that station for years too especially Andy Griffith.

I was so in love with her as a kid and Angelique she played in Dark Shadows

The Avengers have had a cult following in the French world for decades. There was even a pop song in the '90s called "Emma," dedicated to Emma Peel. The show in their language, however, was called "Bowler Hats and Leather Boots." Great stuff, really...

in case you didn't know,the first season of the avengers that aired in 1966 in the u.s. was actually the fifth season that aired in the u.k.

never missed the AVENGERS!

I came into the world April 26, 1966. The 1st lady came exactly 4 years later 1970.

Good old black and white TV. We didn’t get colour TV until around 1970.

love these!!

Emma Peel!!

I'll bet CBS, with Lucy and Andy Griffith, clobbered the other networks in the Monday ratings.

I will agree with you there Linda thorson had nothing on her sigh those were the days of great to wonderful game shows and movies

Hazel was still re-running in the late '60s-early '70s. I remember watching it on KTTV in Los Angeles. When I was little, I sometimes confused Run For Your Life with The Prisoner. Can you imagine, that high-speed POV ride, then, all of a sudden... there's Rover, and you're suddenly engulfed? Scary!

I like 12 o clock high. Got my intrezt in avation and the military.

The fact that Hazel was still on in 1966 proves that Newton Minnow was correct.

This would have been for the networks' Monday night lineup, and yeah, this would have likely been after March 1966, since The Avengers made their US debut on 28 March.

Diana Rigg-wow!!

I always wondered, in regards to the theme from Jesse James, what exactly is a "gold hungry gun," anyway? I had just turned six years old at the time this video spotlights, so I don't remember seeing a number of the shows first-run. I do remember Hullabaloo, Hazel, Dr. Kildare, and The Andy Williams Show.

I was in 7th grade, liked school, was in track, sister away at college and about to get maried, it could have been a nighwhen Dad picked me up from trak after work, and would all eiter dinner together, or Dad and would have stopped off for Burger King whoppers on the night mom went off to bridge club. Wonderful memories.

Those were the days of real wrighting and real scripts. Run for your life that was a great primase for a show . All great shows I remember them all I have some of them on DVD and blu-ray, 12"Ocloke high, Avengers, Andy Willems show, the Lucy show. Miss those shows. Hollywood has forgotten what real entertainment is. The stuff they put out to day is just shameful. Don't even watch it any more. It's just crap.

Twelve O'Clock High was my favorite show until Robert Lansing was fired and John Larkin died of a heart attack. It just wasn't the same though Frank Overton was always good.

a very young toni basil was the choreographer for hullabaloo

Little did I know that these would be the golden age of television. That programming would NOT get any better. That I would be sitting in my grandmother's home (now mine) searching out the same programs they would have been watching when I was nine years old and with very few exceptions finding the writing, acting, sentiments superior to what is on TV today! Sunday has gone from Disney, Bonanza etc. to Walking Dead, Better Call Saul, "reality" romance with a catfish...phew! Two episodes of Avengers in the morning followed by Simon Templar, Daniel Boone, Rifleman, Dan Troop and Johnny McKay et al, I'm good to go!

"I lead a very normal life with my family," says David McCallum The he throws the guy over his shoulder and shoots him. That was funny back in the old days!

Dig that mod scene.

DIANA RIGG , HOTTER THAN BARBARA EDEN, BARBARA FELDON, GINGER AND MARIE ANN COMBINED

Expected a lot from Peyton Place, bridging the gap between The Man from Shenandoah and The Avengers.

Chris Robinson is dreamy

Peyton Place...Barbara Parkins was so hot at that time.

Never did care for the Lucy Show.

What ever i would have watched in 1966 would been watched on a black & white tv set, the Zenith with the tri-star channel knob and gold glitter cloth over the speaker.

Happy Little Tablet Sprouts

None of these shows - with the notable exception of The Avengers - has aged well. Let's not kid ourselves. I was 12 in 1966. Even then I though most of it was sophmoric crap. Television is infinitely better now than it was then.

I thought all the shows were in color by 1966. Great lineup.

Emma Peel, the most dangerous thing on the Avengers ever!!!!

i was 9 years old i rem 12 o clock high buyt not jesse james wow

The host of To Tell the Truth was never show walking. That is because he was crippled with polio. Fat chance of you seeing anyone on TV these days who was not perfect in body and face.

I thought all TV shows were in color by 66.

11:12 that looks like the same "Italy" set from the final season of McHale's Navy.

Variety shows like Hullaballoo wouldn't survive today due to KZfaq and Netflix.

Funny how you see so many of the same actors bouncing from show to show. And man, is Lloyd Bochner one of them! @00:55

A show about Jesse James I can't get my head around. What were they thinking? The opening theme song made it clear they were painting him as a hero . No wonder it wasn't successful

I’d have watched Hullabaloo then switched to CBS for a while then back to The Andy Williams Show on NBC. Didn’t care for anything on ABC Monday nights.

3:10 ............nuff said

Back then we didn't get NBC because of a poor signal even on analog now here it is all these years later and NBC still likes broadcasting a weak signal even though now it's digital to where the signal still goes out from even 70 mi away. Isn't progress great 🤣🤣🤣

Never watched Hullabadig au Go Go.

Never watched “Run For Your Life”.

SHOWS THAT DIDN'T MAKE IT: THE LEGEND OF JESSE JAMES A MAN CALLED SHENANDOAH HOLLYWOOD TALENT SCOUTS THE JOHN FORSYTH SHOW

Kitty Carlisle must have had the night off from "To Tell the Truth".

The Avengers is better than Honey West.

wasn't Dr. Kildare an hour show? maybe in some seasons?

That Celebrity To Tell the Truth aired in 1965 on November 8th. The whole episode can be seen here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/epl3nbWgxrW5qZs.html

Budd Collyer always had the greasiest nastiest hair! Was it Brylcreem or Wildroot Cream Oil??? Gag!

Halabalu guests volunteeringly giving themselves Shaken Baby Syndrome!

Did the American ABC ever imported Avengers from an unrelated British ABC and placed it up as a spring replacement for Ben Casey?

Avengers supported the socialst UK govt. 26+6+1 at any cost.

Yeah, I grew up with this stuff. Other than the Avengers, it was all pretty lame.

Emma Peel is very "doable"

The Avengers still better than The Avengers

Some pretty dumb stuff onTV in 1966. Just glad I had cars, school, girls, and the pursuit of pot and booze occupy my time.

Ntsc color. Piss poor colour in the early days. Not reliable or consistent resulting in colours that were far from "Living Color" as proclaimed by Nbc. Plus tv sets were really expensive, and unreliable and prone to going wrong and didn't even show the whole picture due to the shape of the picture tubes. The penalty paid for being the first colour tv system I suppose.

A lot of these shows never existed, like Hullabaloo and the John Forsythe Show. If you remember them, it's because memories of them have been inserted or you have confused them with something else, for example "12 O'Clock High" was a movie but never had a tv show spinoff.

I see all white people .. white supremacist tv show for the white supremacists, sad to say ..
