These are amazing. Thank you for sharing them! Is that first one a promo for "Experiment in Television," or the opening credits, just out of curiosity?
I believe that elsewhere in this Feigenbaum NBC material are two different pieces about color tv - long pieces about the “new” color tv. Not sure exactly what this short opening was for, but the longer pieces are a bit interesting, about NBC and color, that I think are elsewhere in this this old NBC stuff I have online - I think I’ve uploaded maybe 3 sections of Bill F’s NBC work.
@@jaycordova Yes - I've seen at least one of those long promos re: NBC going "all-color" - which are fascinating. I think the "Experiments in Television" animation is terrific - one of the best in these reels. That concept that "television should experiment" was such a late-60s idea, that alas seems to be long gone. I mean - from Wikipedia - "In the season 4 premiere, "Music", the show documented the Beatles' recording of "Hey Jude". In 1969 the program screened an episode produced and directed by Jim Henson and written by Henson and Jerry Juhl entitled The Cube and starring Richard Schaal." WOW!
@@jmdocs Hey thanks a lot! I just looked at Wiki and see that this was actually a series of shows on Sundays, like you’re saying. I didn’t know this - I had thought these were just one-time pieces touting color for RCA, not an actual show with episodes. Now I get it!
Incredibly, it wasn't "they" it was all Bill Feigenbaum, I guess he liked the "solar artwork". He said they let him do whatever he wanted to, and all the artwork are things Bill drew/illustrated or created himsels, except for Jack Kirby's artwork piece used for one show. If you know old comics, you know the Kirby artwork stands out and you know it was Jack! I look back at old things and NBC was just very different than ABC or CBS with Bill's work ... I've wondered why they didn't get a little more variety into their promos all of those years in the sixties.
When tv was worth watching.
2:24 High quality NBC Tuxedo Penguin
And it was never used for any other movie besides "A Hard Day's Night," even when it could've been.
@@DTD110865 Didn't know this either thanks :)

Neat! But they were REALLY into those sun graphics, huh?
I agree. never understood the affinity for solar graphics

What was that Beatles promo for???
The first network broadcast of A HARD DAY'S NIGHT.
@@djwein53 Wow! How do you know? Memory or best guess. It makes sense.
"NBC TUESDAY NIGHT AT THE MOVIES" was scheduled at an earlier time that evening [7:30], pre-empting "I DREAM OF JEANNIE" and "THE JERRY LEWIS SHOW".
