Aaaah...1971 was a good year for TV. Henry Fonda starring in The Smith Family, that was an excellent show. Marcus Welby MD, great show, they don't make doctors like him anymore. The FBI always a good dramatic story. The Odd Couple, always one of my favorites. I remember all of these shows and I am glad I grew up in that era. I love the ABC This Is The Place To Be promo song, very soft, sophisticated unlike all the loud nonsense thrown at us on TV these days.
+68lincoln I remember seeing an interview with Robert Young where he said he hated meeting doctors because they always complained to him that their patients complained to THEM they weren't like Marcus Welby.
You know what's crazy? I started watching Marcus Welby, M.D. reruns several years ago when they were made available and not only did I fall in love with the series, I developed a crush on Marcus Welby himself! I'm only in my thirties, and my mom's crush on James Brolin began when she watched the show when it first aired on TV! I guess it's all down to his kindly nature and friendly disposition.
I'm only in my thirties, but I am a HUGE "Marcus Welby, M.D." fan, and it always cracks me up to see the young Danny Bonaduce knowing how he turned out and seeing him on "World's Dumbest". Some of those movies look like great fun to watch, esp the one with Bill Bixby in it, and how much times have changed from how a 35-year-old was viewed in 1971 vs. when I was 35 not long ago.
Look at all the space on the freeway! This was a time of stress-free, outrage-free TV - what a glorious time to be young. Now it’s all eye rolling, confrontational crap.
Wow! How can you possibly imagine or remember that the late 1960s-1970s were "stress-free?" You need to refresh your memory or get a few history lessons.
@@GoGreen1977 it literally was stress-free. We played ball, rode bikes to school (without helmets!), weren't confused about our gender, and never heard of any kid in elementary school suffering from "anxiety". It was awesome - sorry to burst your bubble.
"The Odd Couple" may have been a very popular show, along with "The Brady Bunch", but we never watched either one. I do not remember what was on opposite them, it may have been the farm report, but whatever it was, it beat them by a mile.
"Greatest Generation" in charge, "Boomers" in their early 20s. We "GenXers" just starting school. No PC, no woke, no 15 genders... I was 5 in 1971. I remember kindergarten, monkey bars, banana bike seats, bench seats in cars, Brady Bunch, Room 222, Mary Tyler Moore, MASH(in 1972) I was never a fan of the movie. To all that I have met so far in life, thank you. I have learned more from relatives, friends and customers(I delivered/maintained Durable Medical Equipment for over two decades) than I did in all of my formal education. Today, my personal opinion is that a group is using "climate change" to railroad us into Socialism. Our beloved "Greatest Generation" would have never tolerated this type of nonsense. Be well.
Not if the woman exercised her freedom of choice. Maybe you're bitter because you're not sure if your mom would've kept you had she had that freedom, but my mom did and I'm happy to know I'm here because I was wanted, having been born after Roe vs. Wade.

Such a beautiful song. Such simpler times. Sigh.
Not simpler but better more black and white. That was beginning to change however .
Back when TV was great
Can't believe this was 50 years ago, really freaky how fast 50 years goes by.
You still look beautiful.God bless.
I remember this his promo like it was yesterday. I was 12.

the music at 2:55 was also used for the first Sony Betamax promotional video from 1975.
5:47 That's the same music that is used in the 1974 Fall Preview. Wonder what's the name of it?
I was 8 in '71, the world was a magical place 😊
So was I. And yes it was
i was 11 years old in 71, boy tv did suck back then..so we went outside and got our exercise.
@kennedy eubanks what's a "cartoon"?
The opening song is saying welcome to the Early 70s lol... Great
3:55 R.I.P. Stuart Margolin
How the networks have fallen the 70's were our golden years and we didn't know it!!!!
THIS IS THE PLACE TO BE WITCHED

I was about five years old back in 1971.
"The Odd Couple" may have been a very popular show, along with "The Brady Bunch", but we never watched either one. I do not remember what was on opposite them, it may have been the farm report, but whatever it was, it beat them by a mile.
Yes indeed, and WPIX-TV (channel 11) in NYC carried reruns of the “Odd Couple” and it became a staple for years along with “The Honeymooners”.
The Ron Hicklin Singers! They were essentially the "real" Partridge Family, minus David and Shirley.
Love this so much, does anybody know who did the voice over 👍
Love this jingle SO much !
The jingle was sung by the Partridge Family. Not sure who did the voice over.
I was 2 in 1971 and ironically just put my 2 year old son to bed.
Good tv memories
Truly sublime when compared to network TV today. I was quite young in ‘71 but I still remember this promo and these wonderful shows.
Is the slow overhead shots Philadelphia?
Los Angeles, I believe. The Union Bank building @ 0:32 is unmistakable.
Not Philly, def LA... You would see City Hall with William Penn up top in 1971 Philly
@PIXPromosMore And the ARCO towers
Peak Scanimation
That's when tv was all there was except the radio and Movie's TV now SUCKS
I was 47 in 1971

TV was better then that put good writing and acting ahead of everything else.

"the Last Child' would have been legally murdered 2 years L8R, Just sayin'
Not if the woman exercised her freedom of choice. Maybe you're bitter because you're not sure if your mom would've kept you had she had that freedom, but my mom did and I'm happy to know I'm here because I was wanted, having been born after Roe vs. Wade.
WAQWBrentwood this was the last film appearance for screen legend Van Heflin.
Nobody who's "just sayin'" is just sayin'.
No, the child would be aborted because the couple had reached the one child only quota.
@@ladyi7609 your mom must have been high when she made thst decision
Wow, that sucked.
god tv sucked back then no cable glad I was 3mnths old
still beats all that reality bullshit that's on today
You must enjoy watching woke and liberal bs and not being able to say what you want to!
And your wisdom and intelligence are unchanged.
When things were rotten.
No, that was 1975
