The Avengers, and Mrs. Peel in particular, was COOL. Guys thought that back then, and our liking of her is an effective rebuke to those who claim that men don't like strong women. The difference is that Mrs. Peel didn't belittle Steed. I remember The Second Hundred Years well, as well as He and She. Mitzi was such a babe. Would love to see you do an all Christmas video in the next couple of weeks, Fred.
@@FredFlix Yeah, I love all those old Christmas specials. Our family used to love the Andy Williams Christmas shows, and Dean Martin, Bing Crosby, Perry Como, all of them, too.
LOVED "The Avengers" ! Watched every week ! "HE and She" was a cute, funny show. The fact that they were married to each other in real life made it more fun ! Unfortunately, it never found its audience. "Run For Your Life" was a must , just like "The Fugitive!"
Cool beans Fred, thanks. Seven year old me wasn't allowed to stay up late enough to watch most of them. Thank goodness for reruns, especially The Avengers. Ahhh, Mrs. Peele, I found your reruns just as hormones found me lol. 😳🤣🤣 I don't think some of them made it to reruns. The Second Hundred Years???!! That's a new one on me! 👍👍👍
_The Second Hundred Years_ was only on for one season from September 6, 1967, to September 19, 1968. The 6 December 1967 episode was "Luke Alikes". It was kind of a combination of _The Beverly Hillbillies_ as in Luke was adjusting to 67 years of progress while he was frozen and _The Patty Duke Show_ where Luke and his Grandson looking identical swapped identities and were otherwise confused for each other.
Another great job, Fred! 0:24 - I suspect THE AVENGERS is the most popular UK show aired in the US, spending multiple years on a US tv network. 1:34 - Charles Bickford died during this season, and John McIntire, who'd already replaced Ward Bond on WAGON TRAIN, took his place. 4:39 - NBC aired this Christmas show on December (not September) 20, 1967. Cyril Ritchard, who played Scrooge on the show, had played Mr. Darling & Capt. Hook on the NBC versions of PETER PAN years before. Ed McMahon played Santa here. This was a week after Andy Williams, who didn't have his regular show on the network that season, had a Christmas special starring his extended family, as well as the Osmond Brothers. Jimmy Osmond, then 4 years old, made his singing debut.
@FredFlix Winters' show replaced a program called DUNDEE AND THE CULHANE...a British attorney and his American associate bringing the rule of law to the old West. Dundee was played by John Mills (Hayley and Juliet's dad)
Zoomed me right back to 11 yrs old and 6th grade! I forgot my parents let me stay up til at least 10. I watched most of those shows somewhere that season. I remember watching He & She, wondering “is it Paula Prentice or Paul Apprentice” despite knowing the answer. Fred, thanks so much for once again transporting me back, as it also triggers other remembories of the time 😀😀😀😀😀
Thanks, Fred! This hit me right in the nostalgia. I remember watching these shows as a wee tot. I was a Lost in Space fan, and my mom really liked He&She (although that was past my bedtime). Being only 6, I didn't really appreciate the surrealism of Green Acres, but I enjoy watching it on MeTV now.
I remember watching The Second Hundred Years as a kid. For the longest time I never saw any reference to it. I remembered the unfrozen dad shooting the TV because there was a man in it. Silly premise but I liked it. What I missed at the time was that the frozen father and grandson were the same actor.
Always loved when the cast members broke the fourth wall reading the opening credits on Green Acres ..And Oliver ( Eddie Albert) thought they were seeing things. 😂😂
Great one Fred! I dont remember He & She but thats what RUclips is all about. Now i can watch these shows from a different perspective. I was 14 in '67. Have a great day.
Today a program titled ‘He & She’ would not be permitted! Crazy times we live in now. These wonderful videos are reminders of what we’ve lost. Always great memories watching these. Thank you!😊
I enjoyed The Beverly Hillbillies and Green Acres reruns growing up and still do sometimes, thanks to wonderful channels like MeTV, they are a real boost when I feel like simple and fun and laughs.😄 I remember us watching The Jonathan Winters Show in the '70s, I mainly remember his Granny character I guess it was. The episode you spotlight here was undoubtedly a great one, with The Doors, Babara Eden! Thanks for more fun Fred😀
I had no idea the Mitzi Gaynor Christmas Special was aired in September of 1967! The guest stars on The Jonathan Winters Show looked like an interesting line up! I wonder what kind of conventions took place between Red Skelton and the Doors? Maybe Red might’ve joined Jim Morrison on an impromptu version of “Light My Fire!” 😀
Very cool Fred. I remember most of these, although I didn't see many of the Kraft Music Hall shows. I got to see Green Acres in reruns during the summer. The Jonathan Winters Show was probably really good, but on too late for me as I was in 2nd grade then. Thanks again Fred!
Funny thing, I remember liking run for your life, but for the life of me, I don't remember a thing about the show. I love the theme music for The Avengers. Thanks Fred.👍
Ya know in the late 60's there were large numbers of TV shows that came out, some made the cut, and some didn't, but you definitely couldn't say that programing lacked variety
Aw, I don't think I have that TV Guide, Chantelle, which is the only way to know if there were any specials on that night. But happy upcoming 55 anyway, sweetie!
@@FredFlix Thank you Fred! I'm having my first ever bout with COVID so just saw this! You are by far my earliest happy birthday wisher for 55! Thank you again!.....you know I'd also love a video of doll commercials from that era...lol! You would hate that! LoL! Just teasing ya!😋
@@FredFlix AWW! That is so sweet! Thank you Fred! I'm very slowly getting better.....this is really rough! I made it this far without ever having it and it was just waiting like an evil gargoyle to take me down! It took me a week to manage a shower and I had to sit in a chair while I did it! Thank God I'm at least clean and eating! Never lost taste or smell. Just sooo exhausted and weak! Of course right when I need to be working for Xmas money too! Hoping each day is the last! Thank you again Fred! Your kindness is appreciated!:)
Thought it was clever how the name "Emma Peel" came from a desired character description. The show runners wanted a woman that had Masculine Appeal aka "M Appeal."
I was a baby gay so my crushes were on Ron Ely and Robert Conrad, but Emma Peel helped many a straight boy become a man. You hsvr to admire Diana Rigg's career longevity, from Mrs. Peel to Lady Olenna Tyrell. Her final role was in 2021's Last Night in Soho
@@Gobear1 I discovered Mrs Peel and The Avengers in 1980 as a 19 year old college student just beginning to acknowledge my sapphic self. She utterly mesmerized me 🥰
The on-screen chemistry between Paula Prentiss and Richard Benjamin in "He & She" reflected the fact that they really were married in real life. Still, the show flopped.
@@FredFlix Thanks! It is back there in the deep core. At first I thought “Eyewitness News” intro for WABC - Rodger Grimsby, Bill Buetel, but no. Thanks!
Red Skelton.... musical guest .. The Doors ? 60's t.v. you gotta love it ! 😄😆
Is their performance available?

Another Screen Gems ...non Gem
I did enjoy it while it was there, Robert.
The Beverly Hillbillies Song always makes me smile, after all these years lol.
And what about that little ditty at 5:35? 😆

Oh my gosh. I remember watching these shows! Some of which are now being aired on METV.
Sometimes I'm too logical for my own good but, even as a little kid, I knew it was ridiculous for the Clampetts not to get a new truck.
By the fall of 1967, the show had been in color two years...and Winston was no longer a sponsor
I love these , you are so great for creating these time capsules
I sure wish they consider a movie adaptation of The Second Hundred Years. Seriously.
Thanks, FredFlix. 📺
I'd watch it, Luis.
Thank you for sharing Fredflx.

Dick Chevillat, writer on Green Acres, also wrote for Phil Harris and Alice Faye for their long airing radio program. A long career!

Always a special treat 🎉
Thanks Fred 👍
You're welcome, sonnytoo.
The Doors did Jonathan Winters, too -- 3 months after Sullivan!
I remember watching “Second Hundred Years.”

Nice flashback. For some reason, I never cared for Green Acres or Batman. Loved Superman though.
He & She was good,it should have run for more than one year.
Mrs. Peal was my 1st crush at 9 years old 😊
Thought it was clever how the name "Emma Peel" came from a desired character description. The show runners wanted a woman that had Masculine Appeal aka "M Appeal."
Would have loved to see major west belt dr smith just once!
SPECTACULAR!
Glad you enjoyed it, Nunetc.
He & She has aged very well.
Another Home Run Fred! By the way, I would like to thank Mrs. Peele for an early puberty…
And, for me and many others, and ongoing one....
She probably got quite the fan mail from male fans.
Love "The Avengers." Diana Rigg was soooo sexy, and Patrick Macnee had style.
Cool. Takes me back. All kids wanted to be secret agents. Were there any boys who didn't have a crush on Emma Peel? I know I did.
Green Acres was the greatest expression of surrealism in the history of mankind.

That is from NBC Saturday Night at the Movies (pre-1973 theme).
