This brings back memories. My brother and I sold the TV Guide door to door back in 1970/71. TV Guide was $.15 Cents, and we received $.04 Cents per copy. We made an average of $2.00 Dollars per week each by selling 50 copies per week. We were doing great until some other kids cut into our territory. Comics were $.12 cents and a candy bar was $.10 cents. Those were the days. I need a Delorean and a Flux Capacitor.

Yes!! We need more of this! Why hasn't tvguide ever created an archive! I'd pay 9.99 for access to that!!!

Thank you so much for this memory! When my parents went out, my nana would babysit us! She would watch Lawrence Welk which we did not care for as it was old people's music! Now I miss it because it was so wholesome! And the bubbles! God bless you and your loved ones in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ! ✝️🛐🙏❤

I used to love TV Guide and plan the show line up I wanted to watch. It was a special treat when you found a program broadcast in color if you were fortunate to have a color TV.

Watching this felt like a much needed mini vacation. Thank you for keeping our spirits up as the world tries to kill our spirit!

That was the first TV season I remember. I especially remember a lot of the Saturday morning shows. Great video.

I love TV GUIDE from the past😁

Loved TV Guide. Studied it from the time I could read! (I was born in 64, my bday is in 2 days!) Always remember the bit in "The Lost Boys" about the Grandpa telling them not to mess w/his TV Guide. "But Grandpa, you don't have a TV". "Don't need one, I have TV guide". 🤣😂. So funny!! Hard core TV guide users understood that. Used to read it all so much I ended up not watching anything right then cuz I was tired. Those were the days, eh? Before we were bombarded with info from every corner. Our brains were better then. And our lives, IMHO. Y'all have a good weekend & thank you Fred!

As a 2nd grader I studied TV Guide every day; improving my reading skills without even knowing. Had to know what was on, what we were watching and read the cast lists of what we watched, especially when random characters/actors were in an episode.

This is pure priceless gold. Thank you

I remember when we got these, it was the good old days. Enjoyed the word puzzle in the back. Life was a lot simpler

I find it fascinating that one channel would broadcast all three networks.

Oh the good old days!

I miss the old TV Guide sometimes

I was 9 and remember this very well! Great shows, especially liked westerns

tv guide had a lot of great classic shows in 1964 watched Wide World of Sports and All Star Wrestling a lot of great memories in 1964 this is also the yr the Beatles came to America

Good day , The first instrumental song playing in the beginning of the video is from the movie Shaft. Also , the paper color of the TV Guide is yellow. It was never printed on white paper. It always appeared to be recycled paper. I NEVER remember bright pages within the TV Guide. This was so spot on.

This is amazing, I didn't know TV Guide existed in the 60's. Growing up in a rural area as a kid we only had 1 channel we could depend on. As kids we had the weekly schedule memorized since little changed from week to week----we didn't need a guide.

An out of the ballpark Grand Slam HOME RUN!! Producing and editing this was definitely a great deal of work, and is displayed by the quality of this production. The tuneage selected fits this video like a glove! Many thanks, Fred, and Jon + Jon and Fred, for creating this wonderful look back to a remarkable era in our lives. You can tell that those who did everything from the writing, to the content management, then the final layout and proofreading really cared about there job, as they even went so far as the list the screenwriters for even the "B-Rated" shows. I'm smiling ear-to-ear right now, these days, Fred, that doesn't happen very often; THANKS!

Brings back memories. Again 1,000 thanks for the upload.

Wow I'd forgotten how early60s the JETSONS really was.

This is fantastic, Fred! Look at "Ruff and Reddy" (9:30am at 0:41). One of my early cartoon favorites that started in 1957. The competition was so good back then, you had to choose between Bugs Bunny vs. Sky King (12noon at 1:09). I haven't seen "Ruff" or "Sky" for decades now. "Sky" should have been picked up by some tv networks you would think, as a good action show for kids, with the airplane another exciting addition not seen elsewhere. "Mr Wizard" was another great (science) show for our budding curiosity on how the world works (2pm at 1:51). I had saved many of the original small-size TV Guides, but had to throw most of them out when I moved because there were so many of them. I did save some, including the special covers for The Three Stooges for one week, and other special covers of my favorite comedy series that I loved the best. The articles on the stars and programs were terrific. I subscribed for awhile to the new large-size version some years ago, but quit when it was just junk, and I could get more info from my cable and IMDb.com website. But, I miss the original TV Guides, and don't know why they made such a mess of it in making it unwieldy in the large-size and schlock article, if they had one. The small-sized version from 1953 until the 1990s (or 2000s) was vastly superior in so many ways, and I forgot to mention the outstanding Crossword Puzzle it had with most of the answers about the programs and stars from the current and past series. Proves once again you can't improve on most original things from the 1950s-1990s!

Good one! I like reading the old TV Schedules, back then there was a lot of good programming on all day, I was a baby then, but My memories are from the early Seventies, which wasn't much different!

Month later I turned 5. Loved TV Guide back in the day.

So glad you posted a video! For some reason all of my fave you tubers seem to have taken a hiatus at once! You are always reliable Fred and an absolute favorite! ❤

Very cool, Fred... Thx

I enjoyed this! 👍

Given how several stations carried shows from two or all three networks, Saturday features a lot of time shifting Two episodes of AMERICAN BANDSTAND different from the one run at 12:30 (indicates standard network scheduled airing) 5:00 MISTER ED (CBS Sunday 6:30) 5:30 THE PRICE IS RIGHT (ABC Friday 9:30) 6:00 JOEY BISHOP (8:30 as seen here) 6:00 CHANNING (ABC Wednesday 10:00) 6:30 PASSWORD (CBS Thursday 7:30) 6:30 and 8:30 OZZIE & HARRIET (ABC Wednesday 7:30) 7:00 MCHALE'S NAVY (ABC Tuesday 8;30) 7:30 WAGON TRAIN (ABC Monday 8:30) 10:30 EAST SIDE/WEST SIDE (CBS Monday 10:00) 11:00 ELEVENTH HOUR (NBC Wednesday 10:00)

GOLDEN TV.

Your friend Jon reminds me of Frank Costanza who collected TV Guides. Maybe that’s where Seinfeld got the inspiration:)

I remember their was a distinction between the Black-on-White Channels & the White-on-Black! wasn't BoW Cable TV???

Back when television was worth watching. Thanks for the memories, FredFlix. ☺️

Oh, the memories. Now I'm gonna have to see how many of these shows I can find on ROKU because I wanna watch them so bad!! Lorne Greene narrating a cartoon of "The Celebrated Jumping Frog" on the Mark Twain show? I was just in Angles Camp, Ca. this year where that story was born!! I gotta go Fred, gotta watch something else for a while, Thanks!!!!!

I was 8 going on 9 in '64. I don't think The Jetsons and Fireball XL-5 were on opposite each other where I grew up (NYC.) Also noticed the British movie "Stairway To Heaven." We loved the Pro Bowlers Tour on ABC. McHale's Navy and Hootenanny. Saturday Night At The Movies and Hollywood Palace. Killers From Space with Peter Graves. (We saw old sci fi movies on Chiller Theatre earlier in the evening.) My parents made us go to bed at 11pm on weekends....Great vid

Very interesting. I've never seen a TV Guide that represented more than one area, much less five. I've never seen a show listed on five different channels at once. Makes them seem more important somehow. Although, looking back, I'm not sure Sky King was worth five channels at once.

My favorite listing: Wayne Newton sings "I'm Looking Over A Four-Leaf Clover" - on "American Bandstand"!!! The kids - still flushed with excitement after seeing The Beatles on "Ed Sullivan" just five weeks earlier - must've had a blast dancing to that one.

Thank you! Got a kick out of seeing Keir Dullea as a guest star on “Channing”..

Lembra muito a extinta revista "InTerValo" da brasileira Editora Abril. Havia a programação e as fofocas das emissoras.

It would be great to see a TV guide for the fall (maybe October) of 1965. Why that period? For the new 1965 TV season, half of the shows were produced & broadcast in black & white, half in color. For a long time, only a few shows were in color due to few people having color TV sets... few had them due to high cost plus lack of shows in color - a classic "chicken or egg first" situation. Some long-running shows ended up with early B&W episodes, later ones were color. The Beverly Hillbillies and Gilligan's Island are two of those. Color sets were expensive in 1965; I just checked my copy of a catalog from 1964-1965 and a top-of-the-line color set was priced at $630, which today would be just over $5100!! TVs back then had a lot of individual components, and there was a lot of labor involved to build them. Does anyone remember places like drugstores having "tube testers"? Back in the day, people used to insist on fixing their own gear, they would pull the "vacuum tubes" (British called them 'valves' and still do to this day because of their functional naming by British inventor Flemming) and put them in a sack and trotted to a store that had a tube tester. Usually, the bottom of the unit had shelves stocked with replacements to buy. You could often save money compared to a visit to your home by the "TV repair" person *IF* the problem was just a bad tube. This do-it-yourself fixit approach began with tube radios and continued into the era of tube-based TV sets. Link to drugstore tube tester video (takes me waaaay back!) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oJyhqKert9idqWw.html

Enjoy looking at old television schedules, especially when you can see many details about the shows. Thanks Fred.

this is how australian TV Week was back in the day

Oh wow what a flashback back down memory lane. At my young age the TV was my babysitter (both parents worked full-time) and almost all of those shows I have a distinct memory of -thank you for posting!

I was 3 in 1964 , but I have memories of the old TV Guide, when it was a guide.....I loved the old close ups of nfl games, had the team helmet there, and the rosters of both, I'm a mailman today, started in the mid 90s when it still had listings, now I'm close to retirement, and it's just another hollywood rag not much bigger than a pamphlet

I’ve been lucky enough to nab some 60s TV guides at antique swaps. They’re hard to come by as most of the time they were in the garbage once the week was done.

I never knew DENNIS THE MENACE aired on the CBS Saturday morning schedule after its prime-time run ended the previous season...and while THE JETSONS ran in color in its original nighttime run, it isn't here--due to ABC's limited resources for that. WAGON TRAIN was one of just three shows ABC broadcast in color that year (although the station here couldn't record it that way for its delayed airing). But that was still three more than CBS, whose issue wasn't money, but the attitude of chairman William S. Paley not to offer programs that encouraged people to buy sets from RCA, owner of NBC.

I also remember the cover of TV guide having a characture drawing of an actor (not sure what exact year they started doing that), but I would try to draw that face on paper exactly like it and did a pretty good job. I was around 11 yrs old. Does anyone remember those TV guides with the exaggerated characature drawings?

Some general observations about this programming: 1. There seemed to be a lot of movies on this day, especially Tarzan movies. I counted at least 3, or at least 3 J. Weissmuller movies set in jungles, where he just as well could've been playing Tarzan.. 2. I wonder if Nino & April performed "Deep Purple", their #1 hit from Nov. 1963, on BANDSTAND again. 3. I remember seeing Mr. Ed's friend, "Old Swayback". That poor horse! 4. M*A*S*H, like MCHALE'S NAVY, also had an episode called "The Novocain[e] Mutiny", where Hawkeye was put on trial for mutiny against Frank Burns, who'd been left in charge of the 4077th. 5. LIEUTENANT has a plot which has a slight resemblance to the movie, "A Few Good Men".

Space Angel had to have been made by the same company that did Clutch Cargo. It, too, inserted the actors' real lips into the cartoon characters' faces. It was a sci-fi series that followed the adventures of a trio of astronauts in what was still fiction in those days -- a reusable spacecraft.

Quite a few COLOR shows for early"64 and here I thought they only started airing color programming by the fall of '65

Thanks for posting this, Fred! For once I was the first viewer of a video of yours. i'd love to be able to go back & watch a lot of those shows.

Who else took a half hour to watch this video cuz they kept pausing to read all the descriptions? If dad couldn't find the guide sitting on the end table where he left it everyone dropped what they were doing to search it out..I don't care if you were doing brain surgery you were looking for the guide till it was found lol

Never had one of these in my parents' home. Reasons given by my mother as to why: * We pay for the Sunday paper and it has a schedule. * You don't need to know what the show is about beforehand. Just watch the show. * Why do you want to know about those people? You will never meet them. * Just more stuff to throw away. * Waste of money. * Too damn expensive. Also my parents never had a color TV -- until I left home to get married.

Beany and Cecil so nice more lol

WOW - Several comment: I loved the channel numbers in those little oval boxes. I used to do all of my math problems by putting the numbers to add, or whatever, in those same little boxes coloring the black in around the uncolored numbers. It would make the teacher go nuts! I wish that there was a font allowing us computer people to write numbers in oval boxes. Next comment - What? No 11 PM news? I thought that was the law back then. Everyone had to watch the local commentators stumble thru the mispronunciations in those days. I remember the one about "President Herver Hoobert". lol. And finally, Channels 4 and 5 originating from the same city? I didn't think the FCC allowed that. Didn't the signals interfere with each other by having their frequencies so close together? I knew there was a great band separation between channels 5 and 6 because all of the FM radio frequencies were found there. But 4 right next to 5 originating from the same city? That's crazy, man. Thanks for the great enlightening refresher, Fred.

I would have preferred March 17...but who am I to choose? Fred controls the vertical and horizontal ...yes..this is the Frederlimits.

Beany & Cecil was great, also Fury.

FF Your finest Post Ever.. This was a relaxing "take it down" Vid for Me during this nutzy time..ps..My Dad could only do the puzzle in the back😄 Tku

back when tv was good! Now, forget it!

So much easier when we only had 5 choices :)

Now if I could only find that damned clicker.

That's the way it was. ⏳📺🙋🏽‍♀️

Nice! The NIT tournament, back when it was a big deal!! VIEWERS NOTE: all shows in B&W and COLOR📺🇺🇸

Loved Supercar, wasn’t a fan of the Captain. Question. Was Sunrise Semester a CBS show? It was on WSBT-TV in South Bend and I’ve seen it listed in other cities. BTW thanks for these TV Guide listings!!

When did The Guide start attaching regional sections.?

If you look closely, you can see this issue on the checkout stand at about 1:17 in this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kJlzZc1hz9S7qGg.html

I saw the Arthur Smith Show sponsored by Henny Pen dog food. I thought that was just a local show for East Tennessee. Thanks Fred and by the way I hated that show when I was a kid but I don't recall much about it.

TV has advanced by leaps and bounds from those primitive days. Now we have like 75,000 cable channels! But usually, the only even remotely entertaining thing on is the 75,000th rerun of an episode of Sponge Bob Square pants....🤔

2,4,5 Mount Pleasant.....

Here's a video my brother Tom made. He would have been 54 today. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/irJgp9Z02sC8hXk.html

is this from Frank Costanza’s collection?

4:23 "Eleventh Hour". Didn't think the censors would allow something like acid to be in a program. Women couldn't even show their belly buttons. Another great vid, Fred.

I've forgotten. When they list the channels why are some of them white with black numbers, and some of them black with white numbers? I'm sure that someone knows.

What did I say in My comment to get 4 dislikes?

Freddie you should have been doing your homework instead of watching tv
