I love Mary Tyler Moore. It's a treat to see her in a serious role. So much talent and beauty...I only wish she'd had more parts, in films and series like this one. RIP MTM
🌹🥰😘💕🌹
@miapdx503. I was wondering if that was Mary Tyler because that's a beautiful shot and she's beautiful in this shot but she's beautiful period I'm an black American and I never appreciated older movies and television shows and black and white but one day I watched a black and white movie and the women and men were gorgeous and the style s and gloves and hats the woman wore plus they shined with quality acting you could really see through the movie that these individuals possessed a strong persona and aura and many of the themes were very very gritty but done with style and class I liked the styles and clothes they wore and just in general they had better movie making skills and better writing with out all the CGI plus they made very very very interesting movies back then and interesting is what is lacking in the entertainment industry today there's a lot of CGi and sex but nothing thats interesting
what do you mean? in The Dick Van Dyke Show, (which by the way, that series would begin in fall of the year this episode was aired-'62) she seemed seriously mad at Rob, atleast a third of the time. (lol)

@@oscarholley891 another great comment 👍👍 😊
I have been showing these programs to my elderly mom. She loves them, and so they keep her attention for hours. Thank you Rob W for posting these. They are very well done little dramas.
Glad your mom likes them!
That is so wonderful, made my day , God bless you and your Mom 👍👍 😊
They tell a good story without all the sensationalism in today's "entertainment". Well written, well cast.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THESE CLASSIC!!! I DON'T WATCH REGULAR TV ANYMORE ONLY RUclips!!! 👏👏👏
Same here...canceled my cable and never watch network TV anymore.
Glad you enjoy these quality old shows!
Me too. I haven’t turned my tv on in 4 years…just internet for my iPad to watch these wonderful shows…Thank you!
@@cbass2755we're all possessed with what great shows we had growing up!! No TV here either...
Who needs Netflix? I discovered RUclips movies and etc just as the pandemic lockdown began. Been on RUclips for yrs and didn't know that just about every movie ever made is on RUclips. I'm disabled and alone so I really appreciate my old friends from tv and films. Greatly appreciate those who make them available to us, too.
@@robtw88 THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEOS ALSO. I LOVE THEM!!!
Boris Karloff the monster with more empothy and love for children and his fellow man. Than most of us will ever muster🧐💯🇬🇧 and of course being a Great Britain his other true love was for his great game of Cricket 😍🎬👍🙏🕊️
Sleep well maestro 🧐💯🇬🇧😍🙏
@@jellybean5962 can't say anything nice, best say nothing at ALL 🇬🇧⚖️🇺🇸🧐
I never ever heard MTM sing. She’s got a great singing voice!! So much talent! RIP MTM
She sang on the Dick Van Dyke Show sometimes.
@@nanaberry4120yep. Sang and danced a lot.
She sang all the time on the Dick VanDyke Show
She starred in a musical called Thoroughly Modern Millie. It was pretty good.

I wouldn't be born for three more months and ten days. when this aired, but my mom loved these. Must be where I get my enjoyment from.
Happy Birthday John! We're only a few days apart!
I was one and a half months
You and I are only a couple months apart in age. I wouldn't be born for 2 months and 26 days when this aired. And we're both Cancers, too.
😅 5 months & 6 days for me! Funny thing, we're all here watching the best days of TV!! Love black and whites! Quality acting, no foul language, no nudity, no blood. Just great TV!!
Virgo sighing off...take care be happy, see ya in the comments!
You're just 2 weeks older than me. Our little group should start a club. The July Club.
This is what I call action and suspense to the very end!! These were good ole classic flicks with class!
15:13. "I've been doing a lot of thinking.."
"I'll tell the jokes huh.." 🤣🤣🤣 Classic.
Wow, not just the stars, but the "bit" players! Chock full of quality character actors. Boris Karloff created a great series and the best actors wanted to work with him.
from what I understand, Alfred Hitchcock was none to happy about this show... not sure why, I guess he felt they were copying him...but isn't imitation the greatest form of flatterly?
Love this series. So original and creative.
PS
It's not money that's the root of all evil. It's the LOVE OF MONEY. 1 Timothy 6:10
Same difference.
Really. Who cares.
I think the bankers added that....its money dude.
the lack of enough money is the root of all evil
@@nedludd7622 not really. Money is just a commodity , a physical thing that everyone has to do things with. It's greed and avarice the love of it and what wrongs can be done with massive amounts of money that is the root of.
Fantastic suspense movie.Mary Tyler Moore was a very attractive actress, with great acting talent and had a lovely singing voice. Great twist in the end.
Thanks for watching!
Wonderful Walter Burke, a respected character player who has graced so many films, noir, series dramatic tv and later motion pictures. He worked all the time. Those of us who love character actors, he is always a bright spot in any presentation..Here, he has almost no dialogue, yet still manages to convey cool, silent menace...watch till the end - the twist is quite a delight!!
Love your comment Cynthia 👍
I love him!
@@tennesseegirl5539 he's awesome in all his performances 👍
@@rafaelramirez1507 A truly talented actor, who rarely got a chance to shine like this.
he should've been a huge star, had his own series and starred in films
Written by Robert Bloch, who wrote “Psycho” and many episodes of Thriller. Directed by John Newland of “One Step Beyond”. Great combo.
I totally agree 👍
Thanks so much for the information!😊
They both also contributed in a episode of the short lived 1961 television series "Bus Stop" (I kiss your Shadow) with Joanne Linville, George Grizzard and Alfred Ryder ... what a great episode , Both Robert Bloch and John Newland were one of the best if not the best 👍👍
@@rafaelramirez1507🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤🎉❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😢🎉 🎉❤❤❤❤❤😂
Great acting. Black and white makes it more suspenseful.
Thanks for the upload. Love these old "Thriller" episodes.
I love these shows, always liked suspense, Ghost movies, not blood and guts movies. Thank you so much for your uploads of these movies
Back when “good television” meant something! 😊
Yes
Every single episode, is so uniquely wonderful! ~ It's so good, that I'm already mourning the day, when I've seen them all....😭😭😭 😁
"The Alfred Hitchcock Hour" was pretty cool too , three episodes that come to mind are "The Jar" , "The Sign of Satan" and "The Monkey's Paw : A Retelling" , not like "Thriller" but pretty good though 👍👍
No mourning necessary. Just start them all over again! You'll still love them and find little nuances that you missed before. Enjoy!
I was 15 yo when this aired, who would
think that Mary Tyler Moore, who used to
do the hotpoint commercials, would later
on have her own TV series. So many
actors that would become big stars appeared on Thriller, Twilight Zone,
Alfred Hitchcock, just to name a few.
Just great programs on TV 📺 back
then.
What a great movie I did not see the ending coming❤
Absolutely awesome. Great plot.
One of the best Thriller series! Excellent acting by skilled professionals, I might have to watch it again to get the full effect,
Loved watching Thriller as a child with my Mom and brothers. Thanks for bringing this back to life.
You're welcome!
OMG!!! Mary Tyler Moore singing Cole Porter... Why hasn't EVERYONE seen this. Brilliant!!! BRAVO!!! MORE... or should I say "Moore"!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for sharing this episode. The acting and plot were great.
You're welcome!
I enjoyed this thriller especially, with Mary Tyler Moore,Thank-you
Probably the most ill-quoted passage from Sacred Scripture is: “Money is the root of all evil”, as Karloff states here. The true passage is: “ The LOVE of money is the root of all evil”. (Money itself is neither good nor bad).
He was a well-read man. I'm sure he was aware but relied on the ignorance of the audience in order to push the narrative..
I'm really enjoying the shows but a person should never under any circumstance misquote the Bible in order to push an agenda.
It is just words.
Who cares? REALLY?
Sacred to who? Only you. Get over it.
@@workermannamrekrow2768 Except words MEAN something…or else, why speak?
Having Boris Karloff host this series, and occasionally star in some episodes adds a touch of class to this series.
Thank you for a another great movie love Mary Tyler Moore.😊🎉
Splendid and creepy with a great twist. MTM, just use to seeing her in the Dick Van Dyke and The Mary Tyler Moore show. A class act. Tku for post.
A $10,000 Dollar Federal Reserve Bank Note. Wow!
It's nice to see something that I never saw before. It had me guessing all the way to the end....great episode.
Very interesting & enjoyable. Thanks for sharing!👍🏾
Fantastic output, I had resorded to rewatchin these not being able to fin old one
Wait! Those two did what at the end?!? 😳😱
What a great ending!!! I'm loving watching these oldies in B & W.
Wow…look at MTM!! Just beautiful. Loved her in her show. I miss good tv
Me too!!
This (1962) was contemporaneous with _The Dick Van Dyke Show_ in which MTM was always gorgeous.
@@-oiiio-3993 No kidding? She must of made it during breaks from DVD Show? Maybe contract issues….idk. But yes, always beautiful. I’m watching the shows on utube
@@cbass2755 She (as Laura Petrie) was one of my first crushes as a kid when those shows were new.
Didn’t see that twist coming…
Doesn't make sense.
this channel is Gold superb acting and fabulous content thank you so much for sharing
You're very welcome
Thank You so much for these shows. Takes me time traveling to youthful days in my favorite Fall/Halloween seasons. Definitely Subscribed!
Glad you like them! Thanks for the sub too!
@@robtw88You are More Than Welcome! Appreciate your channel!
I love this Thriller great 👍 🙏
BORIS KARLOFF WAS A TRUE ICON LON CHANEY BELA LUGOSI VINCENT PRICE TRUE LEGENDS
I agree!
Another good one! As sure as my name is Boris Karloff.
The scariest Thriller show was called Pigeons From Hell. Made scarier for 9 year old me by my mom discovering what I was watching. She turned it off in the most frightening spot. It gave me nightmares for years. I finally saw it on line 50 years later.
Loved getting closure.
If you are planning on becoming a writer or
Storyteller.
Remember every bit of the story.
Over and over.
Watch Boris Chaney Rod, Bradbury, one step beyond night gallery thriller.
I'm a great storyteller day time, night time.
Watching shows my parent's didn't allow us to even know existed.
Enjoy watching something new to l.
That was a good one!
Yes it was!
Much appreciation 🤗 Rob🤙
All of these episodes are amazing! It's The LOVE of money that's the root of all evil. Not the money itself.
yes people forget that money is just a medium of exchange exploited by humans👹
Really. But who cares. This is fiction.
no, no it's the money, the bible says in psalm 209 "if thou taketh thou shall not giveth back unto him"
@@gerrydooley951KJV 1 Timothy 6:10. For the love of money is the root of all evil. Which while some convert after. They have erred from the faith and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
@@gerrydooley951 there are only 150 Psalms
Mary Tyler Moore was sure a beautiful woman. And very funny aswell.
Yes, I'm a big fan of hers. To see her in a serious role is fascinating. 🌹🥰
Ну и развязка! Неожиданно😮!
What an unexpected twist!!!!
Yes!
I think Hollywood could save itself by bringing back mysteries
money is not the root of all evil...the scriptures say...1 Timothy 6:10.....the LOVE of money is the root of all ( kinds) of evil...not $ itself...its the intents of the 'heart' of man...that makes it evil....but anyway...this was a great episode with a suspenseful twist at the end !
I did not know MTM sang, great episode. Thx
Enjoyed replay thanks for shrimp. Love your channel 😊❤😊❤😊
little farther away for me 6years and 4months but I discovered this show on me t.v. about 10 years ago
Much appreciated 🐈⬛️💜 thanx beautiful xx🧜🏼♀️🌻
Very good episode!
William Windom…WOW! MTM show is my all time favorite! She was class!
Always love anything with Mary Tyler Moore💜
Me too!
Mtm,what a beauty
What a character acter William Burke was
Wow it got me right there at the end, BIG plot twist.
How much of this going on right now with politicians and celebs? Great episode.
one of the best of the series right here
$40 million in 1962 would be worth almost $396 million today. I’ll take either. But what a twisted, sweet and corny last remark by Karloff at the end. In all the time l watched “Murder She Wrote”l never realized the Cabot Cove doc was William Windom. And anything written by Robert Bloch is creepy genius
"$40 million in 1962 would be worth almost $396 million today." Much more, judging by the raise in cost of living, not inflation!
@@internetcensure5849 l just got that figure from Inet research. It’s a rough figure no doubt. But the impact of inflation depends on region, location, assets, other factors
One of the better episodes .
The most intriguing of all these thriller series
Robert Bloch wrote this episode especially to feature the great (and under-rated) Walter Burke; who would have ever imagined Walter getting a LOVE SCENE with Mary Tyler Moore?! Mr. Burke's odd physical build automatically relegated him to playing imps, gimps, assorted bystanders and quirky, misfit oddballs. But he was one hell of an actor (catch him in the episode of Ben Casey "The Fireman Who Raised Rabbits"; his big scene comes late in the show [he plays a famous lawyer who is hospitalized]. Or watch him in Twilight Zone's "The Big Tall Wish", where he barely says a word, yet totally dominates his scenes with his superb screen presence. I once read an interview where he related his greatest disappointment was not being cast as Michelangelo in the 1965 historical drama "The Agony and the Ecstasy." He did a thorough study of the artist who (like Walter himself), was a small, dwarf-like guy, and figured he'd be perfect for the role. Of course, it NEVER would have happened in Hollywood; Charlton Heston got the call, to star opposite Rex Harrison. But THAT would have been amazing...to see Walter Burke in a major role in a major picture. Instead, he gets a walk-on (with Rex Harrison) in "My Fair Lady" as the guy who alerts Eliza that she's being watched by Henry Higgins in the opening scene. But even in small roles, Burke delivers a totally professional performance,. LR
Like always ... your comments impress me 😊 👍👍
There were so many great character actors in that era and Walter Burke was up there with the best! Thanks for your great comment!
Thank you so much for this information. I'm going to watch more of Walter Burke now.
Thanks. Just trying to give these great shows and their actors (and their legacy) the recognition they deserve. LR @@rafaelramirez1507
Thank you ❤
You're welcome 😊
Easy to see how Mary went on to be such a star.🌟
Theses thrillers are good considering these were done in the sixties.
Love these, thx
Thoroughly enjoying these!😘
Awesome! Thank you!
Another major Walter Burke sighting: check Gunsmoke's Season 10 "Circus Trick", where Walter plays ELKO, the flamboyant, eloquent (and very small) owner and ringmaster of a travelling circus that comes to Dodge. Nice concept that quickly becomes bogged down by its plot and direction. But Walter REALLY livens up every scene he's in, especially the circus performance itself, which drags terribly and desperately needed some background music. But Mr. Burke, with his dazzling theatrical instincts, makes the best of it.
Walter has a big scene with Matt Dillon at the end...the kind of sensitive, low-key, subtle thing he did so well. Unfortunately, it's shot almost entirely as a SIDE view, but at least it's a close-up, and nicely lit (the music editors used Herrmann's Twilight Zone "Walking Distance" for this speech).
And who could forget Walter Burke as the servant GARNA in "Jack the Giant Killer", another standout performance...despite the fact that he's usually sharing the screen with giants, dancing dolls, witches, mechanical knights, etc etc? Still, he holds his own! LR
🤷🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️. Ok. When you have nothing else to do, Really good!👏🏿♥️
Wow! What an amazing ending!
Heyyy i was right. I started to get a feeling when he showed him the newspaper.
The caliber of television programs was so much higher before colour.
Numerous characters I see on mission impossible all the time.
Yes let me runaway to a cabin with a man that had mannequins at dinner!! 😬🥴
LOL the mannequins should be a huge red flag!
I have always liked william windom. it was strange to see him in 'murder she wrote' as the doctor. i wish they wouldn't misquote the bible: the LOVE of money is the root of all evil.
Bill was a handsome man!
She sang on The Dick Van Dyke show a lot. They both did.
good one
I have the thriller dvd series and twilight zone original! Including star trek!
All featuring Bill Windom who played Lou in this.
The police lieutenant was Mr.O'Mally in a episode of Andy Griffith.
Since William Windom(a.k.a Dr. Seth Hazlitt on “Murder, She Wrote”)is doing the investigation--shouldn’t he ask Jessica Fletcher to help?????lol😝😆🤣
Seth hazlett character is lighter than his others
Who would've expected Leslie Nielsen to do comedy
Mary's hungry shes like, dummy or no dummy I want my steak 😹😹🙃🐈⬛️🥰🥰
Wow...that was weird...
The younger Dr Seth Hazlett from Cabot Cove as a nightclub performer.
I guess Boris gave alot stars a start
Mary Tyler Moore was hot in the 60s
That was a wierd story😮
C R E E.....P Y!!!!!! Remember Lucas from Jack the Giant killer!
Back when America was America and TV was for entertainment - NOT for dispensing pro "diversity" propaganda!
And so...The beat goes on.
nifty little plot - predictable - but it still surprised me at how it played out - good acting all around - Mary Tyler Moore was an excellent dramatic actress - too bad she got typecast by the Dick Van Dyke show - here she is is teamed with another dutch named actor - John Van Dreelen - who too was typecast in his career as the slick foreigner - Walter Burke's face & physique did the same for him
I no longer own a TV (ugh) but I started to catch on to the ridiculousness of it all when I noticed as a kid how people (like the doctor) would visit a person for three-5-minutes and leave. I thought, "What?"
He leaves on his wake a trail of death.
"a forest of evil surrounding 40 million dollars". Today 40 million is chump change.
Yeah, but most of us could use some chump change lol
Money isn't the root of all evil - the LOVE of Money is - why is that always misquoted? (1Timothy 6:10) Mary Tyler Moore was so pretty.
I made a comment about never liking black and white movies I'm in my late years it wasn't until my late forties that one day by accident I saw black and white I was just sitting there and with out even being interested at first i was amazed that Barbara stanwyck what a woman's woman a hot blooded woman superb and as I said these folks back then definitely had a certain kind of aura of star quality about themselves I haven't seen that in any actresses since the late 1980s lmao because I'm remembering that even Dallas with Larry hagman had better television and characters than any thing from the year 2000 up to now and I even to my surprise as a young hip black brother in the 1980s fell in love with " knots landing" I was shocked I looked forward to the next week,soap with Billy crystal was insane burt had an alien pose as him and the alien gave Burt's wife some really good sex and she was whipped and the real burt didn't understand why his wife was all over him then they had that devil possession episode mann they had fun back then even horror was better dammit everything was better and that's not a matter of opinion but a fact we watched TV as a family back then and when we went to school we found everyone and there family watched it to we collected and read and traded comics and yes the comic books were better and please don't let me mention the Saturday morning cartoons while eating capn crunch or sugar bear super sugar crisp the toys like creepy crawlers you really had to have a vac and prongs and pour the jel in the hot vac pull out the casing with the prongs and dip the casing in cold water let it cool off and then peel out whatever creature you chose to make let's not forget spinning tops and the game trouble and please from the late 1960s until the late 1980s the music was so so so much better and fun and more variety can you believe we watched Brady bunch and all those kind of shows and commercials had as running around saying " it's not nice to fool mother nature because mother nature thought parkay margarine was real butter Christmas was really Christmas and it actually snowed and it had a magical quality to it mann I'm almost crying I want to go back just one time if I could go back once and get back to thito this time period because going back would be just a temporary granted wish as a matter of fact folks I talked about how better everything was that I'm going to get on my nice sounding head phones and pull up my man steely Dan and Chicago maybe some earth wind and fire and I'm a guy but mannn I really love Carly Simon " boys in the trees listen we had carol carpenter ,carol king , Carly Simon, Minnie rippertion and fine ass thin and svelte cher the Jackson five,the Osmond brothers America was so so wholesome that whole families had talent and made records yes families mattered God is good and he gave us all that but man claims that he's so progressive that he puts sex and sex and sex and sex and sex and sex on the screen nowadays So Good Night folks my first record I'm going to listen to is Carly Simon bye
Thank you,for such an in- depth description of television series and programs of the beginning of television itself.
