13:35- The "Bicentennial Minutes" lasted on CBS from July 4, 1974 through December 31, 1976. Shell sponsored them (as a public service) from July 4, 1974 through July 4, 1976. Other advertisers placed 10 second ads at the end of each of them through the end of 1976.
1:41- I missed seeing that, for the simple reason that my grandfather passed away the morning of the first telecast of that multi-night special {March 26, 1978}- and, of course, the TV set was off in our house for the entire week of mourning.
17:36 It's hard to imagine "The Price Is Right" without Bob Barker hosting and Johnny Olsen announcing, but that was just the 1970s and 80s revival on CBS Daytime... This November 1958 episode on NBC (back when they had a returning "champion" every day) was hosted by Bill Cullen and announced by Don Pardo.
Bryant Gumbel in any decade is not something I'll ever miss. Ick. After I'd grown up watching the thoughtful and unassuming Hugh Downs, it was too big a leap for me to make.
Fred, you've done it again! AWESOME video! I can remember seeing some of these. (I have an EXCELENT memory-I can remember things in exact detail that happened when I was 4 and 5. I think I have a form of that rare condition where you can remember almost every day of your life)
19:10- JOHN CANNON: "'I'VE GOT A SECRET'! Brought to you by WINSTON! America's #1 filter cigarette! 'WINSTON TASTES GOOD.....LIKE A CIGARETTE SHOULD!' And now, WINSTON brings you America's #1 panel show........"
19:40 I thought the music at the beginning of this upload sounded familiar. For a moment, I thought it was an intro for some video release. Now, I remembered that it was from TCM. I also remembered when AMC used to be like TCM.
Yes, yes, yes!!! My big bro is back and with an onslaught of videos everyday too! Now that's what I'm talking about! Who's the man?!! Fred, that's who!!! 👍
Why thank you big bro and you will always have my support! We have alot in common, nostalgia, football, and comics too. Oh and our birthdays are even in the same month! Now why would I hate on you? You're my older big brother from another mother and I appreciate what you do, go Fred, go!
17:35 I wonder how expensive the "70 cent spread" was then? I still remember the Imperial Margarine commercials where a crown popped up on the head of anyone eating that brand. Carol Burnett & GREEN ACRES both satirized those commercials.
8:00 Sad to say Dave Garroway killed himself just about 6 months after this appearance. :( I still remember him showing that TV Guide issue, as I had the same issue (different edition I'm sure) and had read the "J. Fred Muggs Awards".

Holy SHIT. Is this for real? The start of a NEW fredflix every day all month long!?
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU
You're welcome, Blair. It's real and keep your eyes peeled.

Those episodes, originally on GSN in the 1990's, are now on the Buzzr channel every Saturday morning at 10:30 ET

“Guaranteed to taste like the 70-cent spread,” AKA butter?

Thanks, star trek. That's an amazing memory you have.
Wow, I never met anyone who could!

So do I, until they sold out.
yes, those were the days...(sigh)

My man Curtis, always there to support me! And with a vocabulary wide enough to use the word "onslaught."
Why thank you big bro and you will always have my support! We have alot in common, nostalgia, football, and comics too. Oh and our birthdays are even in the same month! Now why would I hate on you? You're my older big brother from another mother and I appreciate what you do, go Fred, go!
Of course we love comics; that's how we know the word onslaught!
You figured it out huh? Dang it! Hey Fred, I like the tribute to Mr. Osborne at the end, nice!

10:48- 1956 ("MIGHTY MOUSE PLAYHOUSE" was co-sponsored at the time by General Foods [Post] and Colgate-Palmolive [Colgate Dental Cream])
11:43- 1957
Okay, put on your thinking caps and name the daughter of the man responsible for 'The Today Show'. You won't be an alien if you know the answer.
Sigourney Weaver
Dave Garroway would take his own life only a few months after the 30th anniversary TODAY SHOW celebration.
Damn! Didn't know that. I'll have to look up his bio. Thanks, Paul.
A good source is Robert Metz's TODAY SHOW book...
God, I remember most of this! Thanks Fred!
You're welcome, Sally.
M.T.M. Singing, interesting.
All of it is interesting.
I actually remember some of these.
