How much for the house call dr?....two dollars and a cup of coffee....

A few short years later I would visit NYC for the first time with my family to the 64-65 NY Worlds Fair.

Notice how David Chase [Edmond Lowe] slips up during his dictation of addressing the envelope, and initially asks his assistant to address it to "Betty ... er ... LETTIE Tyson". Naturally, such a slip can occur in real life, but he may have been thinking of Betty Ball, who played "Eve Brooks". Also, although he dictates the letter be addressed to number "eight six six" [8-6-6], a closeup of the envelope shows it has been addressed to number "six six" [6-6]. (Any wonder why Dumont folded on Monday, August 6, 1956?)

China...Taiwan...Vietnam... Etc!

Saber talks like an Englishman. Is he?

NYC is a socialist/communist hell hole.

When they talk about money one dollar was equal to twenty five dollars today so keep that in mind!

No Iphones needed here

wow , when life was so simple

th voice of Reed Hadly - ..."Rrrracket Squad" is iconic...

Very interesting!

Was this before House Party with Art Linkletter?

Nowhere to buy a steamy halal wiener from a sanitary cart attended by a certified chef.

I was hoping to see Sixth Ave around 13th Street to get a glimpse of the bakery that was in the middle of the block on the east side of the Avenue. They would take a month off in the summer and post a poem on their glass door that began something like, “We made the dough…”. Does anyone remember the name of this bakery? Thanks.

Thanks for the great memories! Met my husband in Greenwich Village at the New School for Social Research now New School University. He used to work at the Village Gate and knew Art D'Lugoff the owner and told me all about the folk scene at the Bitter End and other jazz spots back then! We used to love to go to the different cafes and other interesting night spots! Wish the Village Gate was still there! Where I first saw Jacque Brel is Alive and Well, a hit show! "Those were the days my friend, we thought they'd never end"...hit song in the 1960s sung by Mary Hopkins from the UK! ♥♥

One that I hadn't seen before. Very good, and thanks for uploading it.

Ahhhh shucks , what a swell program...😂

God bless the usa.

Another mini-weathor report!

I used to love this show when I was 6 years old.

New york and brooklyn went to shit

I used to love this show as a kid in the 1950s. My brother and I would lie on our backs on the living room floor with our feet under the TV during the opening sequence so we could let the truck drive over us.

Narrated by Robert MacNeil, later the co-producer and presenter of MacNeil Lehrer Report at PBS.

Waiting for this one!! I was a fashion buyer (Jr dresses) during the late seventies and early eighties, for a chain of department stores in the Northeast. We got on the bus 6am every Tuesday and headed for Manhattan, 1400 block of Broadway for the showrooms. The women, and some men, were designing and sewing behind the showrooms. Racks of clothes were pushed up and down the streets of "the garment district". The Jack Lemmon film Save The Tiger gave a good glimpse of that world.

Good movie

So iconic in the past, now New York is old news

Where was the factory ?

Mmmmmmm, soooo gorgeous.

It's always fune to look back, but now is always better.

How did such a grand city of the world become such a cesspool today?

Thank you for sharing. The NY I long for Staten Island Ferry going by at 10:30 I dont think the GW had a lower level yet

This is amazing! Thank you so much for posting this. A real snapshot of life in The City with real New Yorkers from back in 1961. I was born a few years later and grew up in Bayside, Queens. The hustle and bustle was and always will be present in NYC, however, so much of the culture has changed dramatically.

I wonder why this wasn't given a chance? I think it would have been better than some of those melodramas. (And what a way for the one and only episode to end!)

Apparently, no Black people lived in New York back then... ? 🤔

Bob Satterfield, who never fought for the heavyweight title, was a victim of identity theft --- AFTER he died. In the mid-1990s, a homeless man claimed to be Satterfield, and his [made up] story duped a reporter from the LA Times magazine into writing a feature article about him and his plight. The entire affair was later made into a motion picture, "Resurrecting The Champ".

great video, do you do the 16mm transfer yourself?

So cringey...he behaved like a typical colonist. 😞

Thanks for the memories. I remember watching this show with my friends on their little black and white 12” TV. I didn’t realize it was Canadian!

Born, raised, and still here, it's always a pleasure to view NYC just before or following my birth, knowing later I would enjoy the life. I'm always fascinated comparing the decades of what was, and is, now. Times Square then? And now. Midtown then? How it is now. Priceless of things that change yet still the same.

Interesting fact: the narrator here known professionally as Jack Douglas, was an Iranian-born American named Jonathon Aivaz.

I had to laugh at the interview with the housewife with three boys. It was like the interviewer had never met a human baby before. He also didn't seem to understand why the tv would be such a draw after both the husband and wife had long, exhausting days.

I think Reed Hadley and Mr. Ed were separated at birth.

I wonder what Jack Webb was implying in the intro, when he said, "Two million residents eat out a lot ...".

I am a New Yorker and I must say, this is an excellent documentary of "The Village". It was so inviting back then, but now it is as dangerous and Woke radical not like 1964. Most of the buildings are still there but others have long since gone.

Born in Harlem 3 years after this documentary was made; great images of this grand old city.

Absolutely beautiful! When people and cars had class and self-respect! :Lovely, very distinctive and exciting automobile designs! Completely unlike the ugly, look-alike and very boring auto designs of today!! Irene Dunne is beautiful, classy, sweet and very glamorous!

Fascinating. I really enjoyed this!

Someone please correct me if I'm mistaken but, was "The Secret Storm" the soap in which there was, quite towards the end of its run, a character by the name of Shawn (Sean) Childers?

Crimes in Los Feliz? Check out those bad pennies Phyllis Diedrichson and Walter Neff.

I watched Dragnet every week. I loved that the stories were true. Nothing could match the snappy dialog between Friday and either Smith or the perps. It might seem a little dated but today's standards, but it set a high standard for future cop shows. Jack Webb did a terrific Dragnet skit on the Johnny Carson Show later in life that was terrific. It was called the Copper Caper. It's on KZfaq.
