Had to be one of the greatest comedy seasons for staying power: F Troop, Hogans, Gidget, My Mother the Car, Green Acres, Jeannie, Smothers Bros., Dino; today's networks would salivate to get even one comedy show of this caliber today! Amazing and thanks for sharing! - Dr. Bill
This past March, I met the "real" Gidget at a guest ranch in Arizona. Her father wrote the books based on her beach-going, surfing experiences growing up in Southern California. She's 83 now and is doing fine. Her husband is a charming, sharp 92 year old.
When Eddie Albert died in 2005, you could tell much of the news business was in the hands of television-raised baby boomers because so many of the obituaries focused on "Green Acres." NPR, thankfully, emphasized Albert's film work.
What a great time! We never missed Dean Martin. Remember Petula Clark singing Downtown on that show! Green Acres: “Oliver, I made flapjacks!” Jeannie was sweet. I was 10 and still happy then.
"Oh, Sarge". "I know nothing, nothing." "Sorry about that Chief." "But Master". "Oliver", and her cooking. Remembered a lot, some I saw in reruns, but some I don't remember at all.
I had just started third grade that fall. But I didn't become a Green Acres fan until the Molly Turgis episode. And I've been a Green Acres fan ever since!
I can sing along with F Troop's song even now ... such riches, thanks for posting! :) Grandad was the only one who'd watch comedies with me, thanks G-dad.
The impression you get from these old television intros is the functioning family. You can tell there is a connect they make with the viewer. The message they try to send is, "that's just like us" to help the audience identify. A different world.
That all changed by the mid-sixties. Pretty well documented here: Primetime Propaganda: The True Hollywood Story of How the Left Took Over Your TV (Ben Shapiro)
This was a pretty good year for new shows. Many of my childhood favorites started this year. I watched many of the shows in syndication later as I was too young at the time to remember them much. I thought Green Acres began a few years later than this.
In 1965, not all of these shows were in color, despite how they're shown here. The full switch to all-color primetime network programs happened the following year, in the fall of 1966. I remember when it happened, and "I Dream of Jeannie" and "Gilligan's Island" changed to color.
Some shows were produced in color even though they might have originally aired in black-and-white. One prominent example is ‘The Lucy Show’. The Desilu Studio was able to charge more for syndication rights because the whole series was in color, despite the fact the first season or two originally aired in black-and-white.
A lot of these sitcoms when they aired were the first I ever watched around age 7. Many of these same shows I would then watch a many more times in syndication. Still love sitcoms to this day.
I was 9. It was truly an incredible year for comedies. How about that early theme for I Dream of Jeannie? My mother loved Dean Martin and she watched this show religiously. Years ago I bought her the DVDs and made copies for myself--now if I can only find them. Never watched Camp Runamuck or OK Crackerby, but remembered seeing them in the listings. Don't remember Hank o at all, but looks like it was a cool show. Knew the song Tammy by Debbie Reynolds.
It's strange seeing I Dream Of Jeannie in color. They used to show the colorized episodes until Antenna TV network acquired both Jeannie and Bewitched. They said they couldn't get the color episodes because of contract negotiations.
All of these shows, if we watched them, were seen in glorious black and white. It would be another 3-and-a-half years before we stepped up to color TV. We could have afforded it, but the set we had was 3 years new and my dad wasn't quite sure of the color technology at the time of these shows, the mid 60's.
+senorkaboom the technology was different: i remember seeing color sets (around 1968) when, something was in b&w, the picture had something of a blue tint to it......
I don't mind clean comedy but this looks like Children's Hour stuff. I think Monty Python had it right on the Debbie Reynolds Show- which they changed into the "Attila the Hun Show".
Yes, "Captain Parmenter" WAS the "straight man" for everything silly and ridiculous that happened around him at the fort and the Hekawi camp. All he could do was react and shrug.....and try to fight off Wrangler Jane's advances towards him {"PLEASE, Jane, not in front of the men!"}.
Dean Martin ... a good variety show and, during the summers, instead of re-runs, he ran the Gold Diggers (some of the prettiest bare-tummy girls in the late 60s).
"The Golddiggers" were involved in one form or another on Dean's summer shows, although there were different hosts- including Dan Rowan & Dick Martin (1966) and Vic Damone (1967).
The "I DREAM OF JEANNIE" title is colorized (originally seen in black and white during its first season). Sidney Sheldon, the creator/producer, WANTED to film it in color, but the studio refused to allow HIM to spend the extra money.
I thought so, but it was a crisp-looking clip and thought I'd use it just the same. I think Jeannie was the only black-and-white prime-time series NBC aired in '65-'66, all else was in color. You'd think the studio would just go along with the flow on the network.
Yes, it, was. However, according to Sheldon, he later found out that Screen Gems/Columbia AND NBC didn't want "I DREAM OF JEANNIE" in color because they thought the show wouldn't LAST a full season to justify the cost of color film. When it did, they allowed him to film two color episodes at the end of season one's production schedule, to see what the show would look like in color {"The Fastest Gun in the East" and "Jeannie Breaks the Bank"}- those episodes were "held" for season two. And it was the LAST black and white program on NBC's prime-time schedule.
The only other black and white series on their schedule that fall was "CONVOY"- that was because the producers couldn't find any World War II color footage of naval battles or "cruise shots" to blend in with the episodes. That lasted 13 episodes.
It was also the LAST prime-time black and white entertainment series on the network. Unfortunately, NBC- who had a financial interest in the series- agreed with Screen Gems/Columbia, who believed the show wouldn't last an entire season to justify the extra cost of color film. When it did, Sheldon was allowed to film it in color for season two.
Interesting that this version of the first theme song (Season 1) for "I Dream of Jeannie" is slightly different then the one actually used in the series.
Wow!!!!! Being a 7 year old boy in 1965 was awesome. We had..... F- Troop......Hogan's Heroes....Get Smart...Green Acres....Gidget.....My Mother the Car....I Dream Of Jeannie. Of course there were some clunkers too. The John Forsythe Show? Mister Roberts? Camp Runamuk? These must have been on after my bedtime cause i never saw them haha.
I was never a fan of GREEN ACRES but I do find myself wondering how it was that Eddie Albert's character never figured out that you don't do farming in a three-piece suit and a tie...oh, that was the point?
Re "F Troop": I'd heard many years ago that Melody Patterson, aka "Wrangler Jane", was actually only about 16 at the time that show premiered, but I never got anything to confirm that. Thanks for posting this video - another great job! Damn, don't you have anything else to do besides these videos? (Just Kidding.)
Melody was barely 16 at the time she filmed the pilot. She lied about her age because she didn't want to attend "classes" during production (actors and actresses under 16 had to have a teacher on the set, as required by California law, for educational purposes).
When she filmed the pilot in early 1965, Melody was ALMOST 16. She "fudged" her age so that she wouldn't need a teacher to provide "classes" for her inbetween filming scenes.
Yes, he was looking for an animated title, and DePatie-Freleng gave him what he wanted. Gerry Chiniquy- who was one of Friz's best animators and a director at the studio- did the actual animation.
Oh yeah, one more thing: It's interesting to me that in the "Green Acres" intro, that shot of Times Square features a Camel cigarettes sign, and Eva Gabor did TV ads for Camels in the early '50s. Weird co-inky-dink.
Eva also the spokesperson for Masterpiece Pipe Tobacco as well. In fact, there's a video on here of a commercial that she did for them. She did this before she started work on Green Acres. And she looked oh so sexy in that strapless gown that she wore in that commercial. A few years later, she was the Honorary Chairwoman of the American Cancer Society. I also have a picture of her on my cellphone at this charity benefit for them in New York just before she started on Green Acres. She went there with her husband at the time, Richard Brown.
I always hated F Troop.But I still love Ken Berry.And Hogans Hero's I loved that as a child in reruns, of course, I was only two-years- old in 1965.I also loved Get Smart. For a long time, I thought that the song 99 by Toto was dedicated to agent 99. The name Tammy became the number 1 baby name for girls about this time. Maybe that song popularised it? And I LOVE Gidget, they should have kept it on longer that one year. But Sally Field said it was too late after they cancelled it. The public loved it and wanted it back. They used to show Please Don't eat The Daisy's in reruns on maybe Nick At Nite? I still love the old I Dream Of Jeannie from 1965. Both in the original black and white and colorized. Barbara Eden says in her book that they wanted to film this season in color, but some idiot from NBC wouldn't hear of it.
Screen Gems, Sidney Sheldon's distributor, informed him they didn't want him to film the show in color. In HIS autobiography, "The Other Side of Me", he told executive Jerry Hyams *he* wanted to film the show in color, and was willing to spend the extra $300 out of his own pocket per episode for color film (as he produced and OWNED the series). Hyams brushed him off by saying, "Sidney, don't throw your money away."
"THE SMOTHERS BROTHERS SHOW"- the sitcom- lasted one season.......and gave Tommy an ulcer by the end of the series, because of the fights he and Dick had with Four Star Television over the way it was written and produced.
@@fromthesidelines Interesting name, too - O. K. is sort of obvious, but Crackerby has echoes of the "cracker barrel", "crack" as being first-rate (a "crack shot), "crackers" as being crazy, "cracker" as a poor white guy living in the woods, and - of course - "BY CRACKY", which means essentially nothing. Also has a nice number of syllables in it to go with the O. K. Not to mention the fact that you immediately wonder what the O. K. stands for. I loved Burl Ives as an actor - he should have been in an Ironside-type series so he could show off his Big Daddy skills.
Julia, I'll take a shot. Eve Plumb or Maureen McCormick. I know Maureen guest starred on Love Boat about five or six years after the series cancellation, so she's a relatively safe bet. Eve Plumb possibly guest starred prior to being a Brady.
gidget wasnt bad...just average jerry was a brilliant performer who the networks took years figuring out what vehicle to put him in....and it was never going to be his mother as a car

HEY! Did you forget another ABC comedy called The Ugliest Girl IN Town that sweet Peter kastner in drag he was the original Footsie
Missed it 99 by THAT MUCH one of Mel Brooks best tv creations and the corny stuff on Green Acres was ORGINAL
The Ugliest Girl in Town was from 1968.
Sadly a few of those (though Gidget was quite good) only lasted one season
@@Lisa-di1wi Correct. The Screen Gems produced sitcom ran on ABC from September 26, 1968 to January 30, 1969
This was the greatest year for television comedy!!
This past March, I met the "real" Gidget at a guest ranch in Arizona. Her father wrote the books based on her beach-going, surfing experiences growing up in Southern California. She's 83 now and is doing fine. Her husband is a charming, sharp 92 year old.
Superb television from a time we will never ever see again !!!!!
Who's gonna miss My Mother The Car? 😕
@@luisreyes1963 I liked it and Jerry Van Dyke was an underrated Entertainer who I think was extremely talented!!!!!
Dean Martin was a baritone pop crooner in the tradition of Nat Cole, Perry Como and Bing Crosby.
8/03/2024: So true and definitely NOT NOW😢. Have a BLESSED DAY🌺🌴
Even ENJOYED watching these reruns in the 70’s on Nick@Nite.
I still love Green Acres☺
Thank you for wonderful memories.
Angela: GREEN ACRES IS MY SHOW!
20 years after the war, and there were comedies about it. Amazing.
Eddie Albert was such a wonderful actor. I am so glad he continued acting well into his later years. Lived to be 99. My hero
You probably know that he was a dedicated environmentalist; Earth Day is the day that it is (I think it's April 22) because it's his birthday.

The intros were short stories in song & all unique to their respective shows...TV really took a turn over the orchestrated themes previously
Liked hearing the intro to F. Troop.
A lot of these sitcoms when they aired were the first I ever watched around age 7. Many of these same shows I would then watch a many more times in syndication. Still love sitcoms to this day.
In a time with far fewer sources of entertainment, the premieres of new TV shows in the fall was exciting for kids.
Even as children, we knew "My Mother the Car" was a lemon. After one season, it got junked.
Oh you're just being a motor-mouth! Get it? Motor...OK I'll just finish my Cheerios...
This was a stupid show!
It was a cute show and acceptable for 1965 with the very talented Jerry Van Dyke!!!!!
I watched for about 10 minutes ,enough,flip channel
@@scottmiller6495 Well, at least it lasted one full season. Not all shows did. Still, that doesn't say much for it. But if you enjoyed it, cool!
Glad Hogans Heroes is on Me Tv.

Please Dont eat the Daisies was the only show my dysfunctional family watched together.
So many of these I never heard of and I was 15 at the time.
I was born in 65!!! I am old I know but I don't care th is is so cool.
Green Acres was by far the most intelligent of these comedies.
Better than My Mother The Car, Hank & O.K. Crackerby combined! 😅
green acres was the outlier of urban sitcom because of the genius satire
the rest were crap
I love the Hogan's heroes intro
F Troop was shown in color in season two (1966-67)

Larry Storch was the last surviving member of the cast of "F Troop". Rest in peace, Larry.
This is when comedy was clean!
Absolutely Terry! Clean old-fashioned humor and fun! Today's sitcoms are nothing but sex-saturated filth and they're most definitely not funny!
@@Lisa-di1wi Thank you!
You're welcome Terry.
Right? Well, maybe not 'F' Troop...
I don't mind clean comedy but this looks like Children's Hour stuff.
I think Monty Python had it right on the Debbie Reynolds Show- which they changed into the "Attila the Hun Show".
Back when the intro segments were funny all by themselves!
these were great. I really like the unsold pilots of the 60's. Can you do one for the 50's, 70's & 80's too?
I had a thing for Larry Stroch of F troop Richard Dawson and Robert Cleary of Hogans heroes
Forrest Tucker was the real star in this,Ken berry was just a stooge set up for tucker and his antics

Somewhat in personality, but I thought Mickey was really cute. Storch, not so much!
When you were 7 years old in 1965 like I was, F Troop was freaking hilarious.
Mona McCluskey - the only show in history filmed entirely during an earthquake.
Produced by George Burns.
Camp Runamuck and Hank must have been obscure, never heard of either one.
you can get Hank mod dvd from Warner archives. i got it . liked it as a 12 year old. it's still good clean entertainment, very enjoyable.
Both ran on NBC for a single season in 1965. Hank was from Warner Bros. & Camp Runamuck was from Screen Gems.
