This is when television was entertaining. Not the garbage today with reality shows and the garbage talk shows. I was a kid and would go back in a heartbeat.
I grew up in an abusive household. I never got to watch tv, except what my dad wanted to watch. I hated school on Monday morning, when all the kids would be talking about The Wonderful World of Disney. I rarely got to see it. I kind of gave myself a second childhood raising my children...made sure they had fun. Now I'm a grandma and I love watching old shows...
I grew up watching channel three out of Burlington Vermont which is a CBS affiliated station as it was the only channel we got without going outside and turning the antenna. And we didn't dare to do that , only the old man could make that decision.
Miapdx It's a great thing that "yesterday's' shows are available in such quantities now on line and in various home video formats. I also recommend FredFlix and Uncle Earls Classic TV Channel. Earls has so much and you might have a lot of fun there. This one here was a very pleasant surprise.
The good times ain't no time to complain. What is wrong with a bit of abuse,or a lot for that matter. It moulded you into the person you are, taught you respect and kept you in your place. I was abused also, and this taught me to hate my parents, and that ain't bad
Late 70s for us and it was grandparents' TV which we got after my grandfather died and my grandmother sold her home. It was at least ten years old when we got it.
We still had a black & white tv in 1965, but it was a treat to go vivit our aunt and uncle's home to see Disney and Bonanza in color. On some Sundays my dad would go out and buy Sandy's hamburgers for a treat while watching the ABC Sunday Night Movie. Fond memories indeed!
Our family, too! We would visit Grandma's on Sundays for dinner, Disney & Bonanza in color. Then once a year we'd also watch The Wizard of Oz (I still remember being freaked out by the Flying Monkeys!), The Ten Commandments, and the Charlie Brown specials, depending on the season. Did they make you sit at least six feet away from the color set because of the "radiation"? Edit: we sometimes got lunch at Sandy's after church, since they were located on the same street.
Sundays, in our home, were all about The Wonderful World of Disney and Ed Sullivan. My favorite Disney episodes included Kilroy with late Warren Berlinger and The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh (the theme song still haunts me 60 years later) with the late Patrick McGooghan. Also Gallagher with Harvey Korman and a young actor who I can't quite remember, though on whom I had a little crush...Fun memories...
I bet this was amazing back in the day. Going from black and white to color. Most families probably didn't get a color TV until several years later. TV stations did the same thing in the 80's when we got stereo and in the 90's when we got HD.
And when i hear the Bonanza theme, i then think to myself, "see the U S A in your Chev ro lay!" It was almost like the Chevy commercial was part of the theme. In a way, i guess it was, and their intention. I also reckon it worked since I eventually bought one as my first new car.
I remember Sundays and the Wounderful World of Disney, I watched a lot of the shows that are on this video, but then again I am 60 and I love these videos. My favorite was Canded Camera now that was a funny show. Wish some of the shows that I grew up with were still on. Love from Marysville, California
@@Rebelliousoul that’s because lunch was called dinner many many years ago. Now supper is called dinner. Lol. When someone asks me over for dinner I have to ask if it’s for lunch or supper. Lol. I wonder if they will ever change the name of the painting The Last Supper to The Last Dinner. Lolol
Holy Sh!t!!! This takes me back to about 2nd or 3rd grade!! I remember all this sh!t like it was yesterday. I was singing along with the themes songs after all these years.
That 3rd season of My Favorite Martian was great it was in color after two seasons of B & W episodes it's very sad they never got a 4th and 5th season the show was really fun.
1965...that was the second year of 5 , Donald trump paid to have bone spurs for he wouldn't have to fight for his country in Vietnam and let others do the dying ...only for him to come out and say "my Vietnam was surviving the 80's without getting an STD" thank god that fascist ass lost in 2020.
In 1965, we had a crappy 1950s Philco with a 6" screen. My mom's brother, our beloved "Uncle Tommy", who lived up the street from us, got a new color TV. What a game changer! My mom eventually got our tightwad dad to spring for a color Magnavox color console in 1968. Nothing was better than the various "X-night at the Movies" on CBS, NBC, or ABC. We'd all gather together to watch.
What about Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom? I remember it airing before Disney's Wonderful World of color... but I was 5 at the time, memory could be hazy.
@@fromthesidelines I recalled it being aired immediately before Disney on NBC...I found on the internet that it aired at 7:00 PM and Disney was at 7:30. According to Wikipedia, Network programming began at 7:09 PM on Sundays instead of 7:30.
"WILD KINGDOM" wasn't telecast at 7pm(et) on Sundays until January 7, 1968. In the fall of '68, "THE NEW ADVENTURES OF HUCK FINN" replaced it at that hour until January 1969 {during that period, "WILD KINGDOM" was telecast at 6:30pm(et)}, then flipped time slots with "HUCK FINN", and returned at 7pm(et) through the summer of '69. Finally, it returned at 7pm that September, and continued [with another summer break] through April 11, 1971. The series was syndicated the following season (although some NBC stations continued to schedule it locally before "THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF DISNEY" for several more years). Source: BROADCASTING magazine.
@@fromthesidelines oh..ok, thanks for the info. I liked "the New Adventures of Huck Finn"...I thought it was one of the better Hanna Barbera productions.
Yes, but what we almost never saw on network TV were recent films, and that was the original promise of cable. A promise like the Trojan horse hiding within all the dirt cheap programming to come.
@@hd-xc2lz That would work for you if you are a fan of recent movies. I'm limited to Hockey, BB, NCAAM, NFL, Highway Patrol, Sky King, Dragnet, Adam-12 and Looney Tunes.
In the fall of 1965, ABC started programming an "all-color" Sunday night lineup as well- even though about half of their evening schedule was still telecast in black and white. "THE SUNDAY NIGHT MOVIE", though, continued to present a mix of older black and white and color theatrical films (I believe it was a 50/50 mix).
Thank you VERY much for this. I especially enjoyed the surreal treatment of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea and the ABC color logo used prior to Fall 66. It looked great. Also enjoyed the commercial notice on the late Nite CBS panel show. Sunday, what a nite. Always good to have the Disney World of Color display, the Bonanza theme and ABC s movie "theme", regardless of vintage. And, Perry Mason on Sunday. Nice print of the opening of Wackiest Ship In The Army.
I remember going to my aunt's home one Sunday evening to see the Disney show. Donald Duck's bill and feet were green...she hadn't learned to properly control color and tint on the new color set yet!!
I remember “Voyage to the bottom of the Sea” being Wednesday Night. When I was at my guitar lesson. We always had Ice Cream for Disney. My mom had a weak spot for Ephram Zimbalist Jr.
Bob You might be recalling the Voyage movie (1961) debut on the old ABC Wednesday Night Movies. It had two servings there, March 67 and a summer rerun maybe in July.
For the first time- ALL of NBC's Sunday night programming for the fall of 1965 was in full color. They decided to promote themselves as "The Full Color Network" that season by scheduling almost all of their prime-time programming in "Living Color" [the exceptions were "I DREAM OF JEANNIE" {they didn't believe it would last a full season to justify the extra cost of color film, despite producer Sidney Sheldon 's offer to pay the extra cost himself}, and "CONVOY" {no color footage of World War II naval vessels at sea could be found at the time; the series was cancelled that December}].
Aside from the sitcoms & westerns of that year, there were some bright spots on the schedule. The FBI, Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea, The Ed Sullivan Show & of course, The Bell Telephone Hour. 📺
My sister and I wanted so badly to watch Disney on Sunday nights, but Mom always dragged us to the boring church services where the organist played funeral music and the preacher bored us to tears.
I showed the NBC Peacock announcement "This program is brought to you in living color" to my teenage son. I told him we had a black and white TV , but we still watched the TV programs. He took a quick glance from his iphone and said , " Ok, boomer"! These kids today are spoiled rotten!
Sad how so much regurgitated snark is accepted as wit today amongst the under 30 crowd. The original promise of the internet was to expand our frames of reference, instead our communication has largely devolved to clique-i-ness, a strong taste for zingers, and a passion for scolding one another.
CBS also scheduled at least half of its prime-time programming in color that season. On Sunday nights in the fall of 1965, this meant that half of the programs were in color [7-9pm(et)]....while everything else was in black and white [9-11pm(et)].
At that particular time the only TV station we could get was KDKA out of Pittsburgh and the Civic Center was brand new and the Penguins did not exist yet
Where I was born and bred in western PA it was essentially the same deal: KDKA-TV had good consistent reception, not so much WTAE. The strongest VHF signal on the outskirts of Franklin was hands down WICU Channel 12 in Erie.
I'm sure that I won't be the first to point this out but the opening of Bonanza was much earlier in the shows history than 1965-66. Purnell Roberts as Adam had just left the show for 1965 -66.
@@STho205 Actually, it's from 1957, the year the show debuted. The show's opening graphics over the subsequent eight seasons were different from this. In fact, it was from the very first show: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Perry_Mason_episodes#Season_1_(1957%E2%80%9358)
Pleasant flashback, but it looks like Perry Mason was a re-run...from 1957. The ABC Sunday Movie intro was more like 1975...maybe they had perfected time travel in '65.
Whenever I asked my parents for a color tv in the 1960's, I'd tell them how the Andersons down the block had one. "Yes, and that's all they do is sit and stare at that thing", my mom would say. " So, what's wrong with that?", I'd think.
my parents watched hee haw in color in the room with ac their bedroom we suffered the fla heat with a little portable black and white tv with three channels and yes me or my brother would have to flip a coin to see who would climb on the roof to move the antenna . walter kronkite was allways on about the veit nam war my brother joined the army so they sent him to the berlin wall to sit in a tank the drafties had to go to veit nam
Yes it was, for the original series. Although Raymond Burr would later return to his original role as Perry Mason, in a series of 26 made-for-television films for NBC, starting in 1985, until his death in 1993.
That episode of Perry Mason you show in your video would not have been shown in 1965. Perry Mason ran from 1957-1966 and the episode you showed was the very first episode which ran in Season 1 which was 1957. They wouldn't show reruns until the show had officially ended in 1966.
Yep. That's the famous first one. Always liked Perry's smirk when he received that paper....like he's thinking...yep, that'll screw Hamilton. The Candid Camera stock was just the onesheet. I very vividly remember the opening with clips of gags in color.
This was great ~ however, I'm looking for the ending of a show.. when the credits ran and a sad song was played as a black and white scene of an empty studio was shown.. I remember a tall studio light and an empty set was shown while the song played. Do you remember that? Can you help me find that?
Penelope I'd like to try. If I attempt to doublecheck this with a quick search now I might lose the connection so for the moment I'll guess on some clues. Black and white? Likely an anthology. If it's from the 60s try Fred Astaire Premiere Theater. A few of these have been posted. Try You Tube of course. My second guess would be Bob Hope Presents the Chrysler Theater but most available openings and closings for this have disappeared since the show went off. Was possibly syndicated as Universal Star Time but it's been awhile since that's been found with its (substituted new) credits added. Another hopefully strong possibility is The Dick Powell Theater. I've been surprised that episodes have been turning up. In particular, an early treatment of what would become Burke s Law, "Who Killed Julie Greer?" It's the only one I've hunted down in the recent past. Fred Astaires' Premiere Theater has two I've found on line so far, "Seven Against the Sea " (the War drama that actually "piloted" McHales Navy) and a fascinating story about urban doctors in a rough district featuring William Shatner and...ouch, his co-star escapes me at the moment. It would help if I could recall other performers here but hopefully Mr Shatner s "clue" is all you'll need. Good luck with this. I sincerely hope these clues will take you to the right show. PS. If it's a 50s anthology I am likely somewhat useless here as I have not studied these much. The grand daddy is Playhouse 90...another notable is Hallmark Hall of Fame which may have actually run into the 70s?
great stuff,,although you messed up om perry mason,,,that introduction was much earlier as tragg was dead or at least out of the series and raymond burr was alot fatter in the 65 intro
Believe you're right. The cast still fairly young-looking there. Clip definitely from earlier seasons--probably first/second, going back to its premiere in '59--first TV western to air in color. By '65, the Cartwright cast had matured and filled-out a little more, now considered the series' best-remembered opening.
I didn't notice that, as I thought he did a great job overall. One other small inconsistency was the use of the PERRY MASON opening credits from its 1957 premiere. Ray Collins last appeared on the show in 1963 but was left in the opening credits until after he died summer 1965.
The copyright for The Wackiest Ship in the Army is 1966 (Roman Numerals). Just sayin', and I always thought it was the Navy that had those ships. Maybe that's why it's Wacky.
If a show started in 1965, the production copyright would say 1965. Wackiest Ship obviously was still being produced into 1966, hence the 1966 copyright date.
It was a one season Sept 65 to Spring 66 series takeoff of the Jack Lemon comedy movie. That particular title was from the last half of the 1st and only season. Yep it was "Army". It was a schooner to spy on the Japanese.
If Screen Gems was the packager, then Wackiest Ship will have like the other Screen Gems shows some head scratching dates applied to the credits. Usually the first season of these shows gets the calendar debut year on them with almost no switch at New Years. With a second season the date is changed a second time and either remains to the end of the show (Jeannie) or might get a change every few seasons (Bewitched).
' Voyage To The Bottom O f The Sea ' was not only assanine to watch because of the stupid storylines but it was so boring that it would put you to sleep. The actors had as much personality as a shoe horn.
"Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea" the TV series was based on the motion picture of the same title. The movie was unspectacular as well so why this series was even developed, who knows ?

What about "The Twenty-first Century"? That was on Sunday afternoon. Great synthesizer and brass themes.
Today's young people are sickening they don't give a damn about the past, or how television or people used to be! Its rediculois and very wrong!!!!!
Takes me back to a wonderful time in my youth
Love those days HATE the garbage spewed out today by hollyweird
Branded was a great show!
my parents watched hee haw in color in the room with ac their bedroom we suffered the fla heat with a little portable black and white tv with three channels and yes me or my brother would have to flip a coin to see who would climb on the roof to move the antenna . walter kronkite was allways on about the veit nam war my brother joined the army so they sent him to the berlin wall to sit in a tank the drafties had to go to veit nam
The year I was born
I agree nothing but garbage out today
Only on NBC.
I was little girl I , Watch in TV..in color👶😀
I think Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea and The FBI did more to shape my attitudes than anything.....
5:50 This ABC Sunday Night Movie bumper is from 1974, not 1965.
I had hoped to take my family to the Ponderosa Ranch for a visit, but they burned the map!
I don't know if you will show mutual of Omaha's wild Kingdom that was on NBC on Sunday nights before Disney.
Not to be a jerk, but the ABC movie opening shown did not come until at least a few years later.
6:00 - The Sunday Night Movie, Also known as Netflix '65
Brought to you by the Eastman Kodak Company. Kodak makes your pictures count.
That looks about as exciting as watching paint dry...lol
6:00 mark or so. Sure those graphics were around in '65? That looks like early/mid 70's. So does the music
Oh yea
The last season of Perry Mason, I believe.
Yes it was, for the original series. Although Raymond Burr would later return to his original role as Perry Mason, in a series of 26 made-for-television films for NBC, starting in 1985, until his death in 1993.
With the first season, first episode, opening.
Who is the NBC announcer?
That episode of Perry Mason you show in your video would not have been shown in 1965. Perry Mason ran from 1957-1966 and the episode you showed was the very first episode which ran in Season 1 which was 1957. They wouldn't show reruns until the show had officially ended in 1966.
Yep. That's the famous first one.
Always liked Perry's smirk when he received that paper....like he's thinking...yep, that'll screw Hamilton.
The Candid Camera stock was just the onesheet. I very vividly remember the opening with clips of gags in color.
This was great ~ however, I'm looking for the ending of a show.. when the credits ran and a sad song was played as a black and white scene of an empty studio was shown.. I remember a tall studio light and an empty set was shown while the song played.
Do you remember that? Can you help me find that?

I'd like to try. If I attempt to doublecheck this with a quick search now I might lose the connection so for the moment I'll guess on some clues.
Black and white?
Likely an anthology.
If it's from the 60s try Fred Astaire Premiere Theater. A few of these have been posted. Try You Tube of course.
My second guess would be Bob Hope Presents the Chrysler Theater but most available openings and closings for this have disappeared since the show went off. Was possibly syndicated as Universal Star Time but it's been awhile since that's been found with its (substituted new) credits added.
Another hopefully strong possibility is The Dick Powell Theater. I've been surprised that episodes have been turning up. In particular, an early treatment of what would become Burke s Law, "Who Killed Julie Greer?"
It's the only one I've hunted down in the recent past.
Fred Astaires' Premiere Theater has two I've found on line so far, "Seven Against the Sea " (the War drama that actually "piloted" McHales Navy) and a fascinating story about urban doctors in a rough district featuring William Shatner and...ouch, his co-star escapes me at the moment. It would help if I could recall other performers here but hopefully Mr Shatner s "clue" is all you'll need.
Good luck with this. I sincerely hope these clues will take you to the right show.
PS. If it's a 50s anthology I am likely somewhat useless here as I have not studied these much. The grand daddy is Playhouse 90...another notable is Hallmark Hall of Fame which may have actually run into the 70s?
Efram Zimbalist Jr. would be absolutely appalled at the crimes the FBI is outwardly committing today.
great stuff,,although you messed up om perry mason,,,that introduction was much earlier as tragg was dead or at least out of the series and raymond burr was alot fatter in the 65 intro
It was from the very first episode of Season One.
Bonanza was sponsored by Chevrolet back then
LOL, just listened to the lyrics of branded, a song like that is tantamount to a hate crime nowadays. 😂
bs
I don't think that's the Bonanza opening for 1965.
Believe you're right. The cast still fairly young-looking there. Clip definitely from earlier seasons--probably first/second, going back to its premiere in '59--first TV western to air in color. By '65, the Cartwright cast had matured and filled-out a little more, now considered the series' best-remembered opening.
Pernell Roberts was written out of the series in the fall of 1965 (he insisted on leaving- a mistake he later regretted).
The episode shown with Patricia Medina was called ' The Spanish Grant' and was from 1960 . Congrats on a sharp eye!
I didn't notice that, as I thought he did a great job overall. One other small inconsistency was the use of the PERRY MASON opening credits from its 1957 premiere. Ray Collins last appeared on the show in 1963 but was left in the opening credits until after he died summer 1965.
The copyright for The Wackiest Ship in the Army is 1966 (Roman Numerals). Just sayin', and I always thought it was the Navy that had those ships. Maybe that's why it's Wacky.
If a show started in 1965, the production copyright would say 1965. Wackiest Ship obviously was still being produced into 1966, hence the 1966 copyright date.
@@TimL2005 Thanks dude!
It was a one season Sept 65 to Spring 66 series takeoff of the Jack Lemon comedy movie. That particular title was from the last half of the 1st and only season.
Yep it was "Army". It was a schooner to spy on the Japanese.
If Screen Gems was the packager, then Wackiest Ship will have like the other Screen Gems shows some head scratching dates applied to the credits. Usually the first season of these shows gets the calendar debut year on them with almost no switch at New Years.
With a second season the date is changed a second time and either remains to the end of the show (Jeannie) or might get a change every few seasons (Bewitched).
a boat load of homes with B&W tv 's yet. now it's woke disney

So much of this stuff looks so dreary.
Well they weren't advanced enough for "BatWoman", "SuperGirl", "Two Broke Girls", "Cougar Town", "Supernatural", "The Batchelor"... yet.

That was such a racist time. Not many black shows.
Yea, they were on the news.
What crap.
Total CRAP!!
' Voyage To The Bottom O f The Sea ' was not only assanine to watch because of the stupid storylines but it was so boring that it would put you to sleep. The actors had as much personality as a shoe horn.
"Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea" the TV series was based on the motion picture of the same title. The movie was unspectacular as well so why this series was even developed, who knows ?
@@sirreal1290 Agreed, but as a kid I LOVED the look of that ship and other underwater vehicles.
