“Has it ever struck you that life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quick you hardly catch it going?”― Tennessee Williams.....
OMG the old promos really took me back..I'm getting a little bit older now.But I dont feel that way.I'm still that same person I was..And still waiting to grow up
Great stuff, I remember pretty much all of these clips, never knew Cloris Leachman played Wonder Woman's mother,..ABC Friday nights was the night as a kid, Brady Bunch, Partridge Family, Room 222, and The Odd Couple and Love American Style,...then Saturday morning cartoons! 70's kid pure joy!
I want to go back to the 70s. I miss those days. Charlie's Angels, Starsky and Hutch, the Rockford Files, Columbo, Three's Company, Six Million Dollar Man and the Bionic Woman. Anyone remember the Saturday Morning line ups? The Super Friends, JabberJaw, Dynomutt, Hong Kong Phooey, Shazam, and Isis?
Generally speaking, people who watched the first group of shows you mentioned were too old to bother with the second group of shows (Saturday morning cartoons), and vice versa...i.e., second group watchers were too young to watch the first group. I was a teen in the second half of the 70s, and remember sitcoms (including Three's Company), but not the cartoons and not the dramas (I'd heard of the dramas, but didn't watch them).
Great channel Fred. I was born in 60 and you and Johnnyboy are my two favorite channels for bringing back all those great times for me...thanks again...oh and any kids watching thats Janet Jackson at around 3 min on Good Times
"Quincy" and "Six Million Dollar Man" were one of my favorites. Thanks for the video because that brought back a lot of great memories. Also lol getting up to change the channels and fixing the rabbit ears. Only 4 channels to choose from. Always needed the TV Guide magazine to know what was coming on that week. Such easier times.
Night Gallery!.That opening always scared the crap out of me.Back in the early 80's it was on every night at 10pm..If I was watching the show before that and forgot to change the channel(and remember we only had like 7 channels)and Night Gallery would come on my blood would chill.Same with the old Night Stalker show that came on late on Fridays..
Everybody would be in bed when this came on , the opening theme scared the hell out of me , I was thankful if my dad fell asleep on the couch , least I wasn't alone when that music started ..haha ..the 70s was a great time to grow up
Adam-12, Bonanza, Charlie's Angels, Colombo, Gunsmoke, Little House on the Prairie, Love Boat, MASH, Six Million Dollar Man, Taxi, The Waltons, WKRP in Cincinnati - some of the biggest shows of the 1970's - how could you leave those off?
They only did one show per first letter: "A" for All in the Family, "B" for Baretta, etc. It was a poor concept for the video; what they have for X, Y and Z aren't worth mentioning. :(
Cable started in the 70s. HBO began in 1975. ESPN in 1979. But it was rudimentary. Most people just had the broadcast channels. PBS rolled out in 1972 and took over for what once was NET. Then we only had ABC, CBS and NBC besides PBS. But some areas had extra independent channels. However many channels died off at night with the national anthem and were off a few hours.
@@bernie2231 Not only very few of THESE shows (after all, these shows originally aired 40-50 years ago), but very few of ANY show that's worth a damn. ;)
That was my favorite show as a kid. when we went to disneyland they were part of the show there (universal studios?) Seeing how they did all the stunts blew my tiny mind.
@@cyndih1993 I remember my mother being chosen out of the audience at Universal Studios to demonstrate her "bionic" strength! I think they had her lift a car! lol! So long ago!
Yours is a nice respite from a mediocre day, pal. Had to come back a relive a easier time in my mind, if only for a little while. Never tire of The Immortal, U.F.O. or my favourite Cyborg, Col. Austin. With the advent of box sets, we can watch what meant something to us. Your channel is an oasis in a desert; thank you for that. . Think I will venture to my Inner Sanctum and watch a few episodes of The Twilight Zone. Next stop, Willoughby.
I got most of them, what a fantastic time growing up it was for me and my siblings,, I was always wonder woman, 😁😁we often say bring back our child hood,, but todays kids are spoilt rotten and do not appreciate what they have,, we all did in the 70s, Best time to have been a kid I think,, TV, music,clothes,toys, and sweets,, ❤️❤️👍👍👍😁😁
Night Gallery - Rod Serling's follow up to Twilight Zone. Serling soured on it after the network butted their nose in and screwed it up from what Serling wanted it to be..
I loved The Immortal when I was a little kid! He was a race car driver who was being chased by a rich old guy who wanted to capture him and "keep him safe" - living in luxury, but a prisoner - so that he could get transfusions from him in order to stay young! He was on the run to maintain his freedom. I was maybe 9 or 10 years old, but I loved the show!
Oh the irony! A Kung Fu spot segueing into that Longstreet clip with Bruce Lee! Bruce was supposed to BE the star of the Kung Fu TV show. It was his own concept, but TV execs didn't think us round-eyes would relate to a real Asian in the role of an Asian, THE FOOLS! How great would it be if it'd been him instead of Carradine! I never really watched it 'cause I couldn't believe him in the role! Bruce went back to Hong Kong, made a handful of legendary films and was dead by '73. How would things have been different if only he'd starred in that show?
As a kid, I saw plenty of 60's (& 50's) reruns in the early 70s--Gilligan, Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie, Get Smart, Batman, Andy Griffith, Leave It To Beaver...amongst episodes of Brady Bunch and The Partridge Family, LOL
I am so thankful that i was alive during this time and witnessed television when it was like this, because I stopped watching television in 2006 due to the fact that it just wasn't entertaining anymore. TV in my opinion has turned into soft porn and reality shows, and that is not entertainment to me. I usually watch my old recorded VHS tapes with shows and commercials, and purchase DVDs of old shows. Great video!!
Although we cannot, and should not, live in the past, its always fun to remember those years. Our social perspective has changed over several generations, and maybe we can once again make fun of different races, sexes, religious persuasions (without degrading them), and so on at some time in the future. I always thought that laughing at yourself was the best medicine. No?
I don't know about "soft porn", but the typical reality show definitely sucks. (I have DVDs of old shows, too.) I generally like sitcoms, but hardly any since 2000; I liked Two and a Half Men, when Charlie Sheen was on the show and "Jake", the child character, was still pretty young (pre-adolescent). I do think some shows that loosely fall into the "reality" category are watchable--for example, my wife watches a lot of "judge" shows (like Judge Judy), and I think some of those are interesting, at least if nothing else is on. ;)
I turned off my cable probably close to that, never missed it. Recently gf insisted on getting cable, 6 months later I cancelled it, nothing worth watching SO much trash and crap advertising. It made me ill to watch more than a little. If I had kids, no way would I have anything hooked to my television except vhs, blu ray and dvd players. 👍
You had me at hello! I love that All in the Family intro! I am someone embarrassed to admit there were two shows on this list that I've never heard of though :-(. I guess I never was pop culture guy LOL but the rest are fond memories
There are more than two that I never heard of (e.g., I was only 7-1/2 when the 70s started, so I didn't watch any of the 70's dramas). In this video, after "T" (the Tonight Show/Carson) the only one I'd ever heard of was Wonder Woman. ;)
Though there was lots of great TV from those periods, my channel's emphasis is on the pre-cable, pre-Fox. pre-video era, when there were just three entertainment networks and everybody watched the same things..
I remember when HBO first came on the air only on from 5pm till about Midnight or so and actually ran movies people wanted to see .. back then if you missed it in the theater you missed it forever and those early on location specials where actually special HBO in the 70s was indeed a important piece of the eras TV legacy.
But there was actually four - Dumont was the Fox of the day. Unfortunately, whenever they closed down their network they also tossed out their entire library of films. That why so few are around. Jackie Gleason owned The Honeymooners and the films were in his possession. That's why the majority of them were preserved.
At that time we had three government sponsored broadcasters American Broadcasts company, National broadcasting company, and Continental broadcasting company. We did not pay for receiving these presentations. HBO and ON TV were the beginning of the end of this. - it still exists, but very few people use it.
Morgan Freeman played Lucius Fox on The Electric Company long before he played the character in the Chris Nolan Batman movies. Just sayin'. I grew up on 70s television.
Some can be picked up with an HD or digital antenna attached to your TV with signal sent by a local broadcaster without having to pay for cable or dish.
FredFlix...Fred, I saw "XY And Zee" many times on the CBS Late Movie. Also, do you recall a Warren Beatty flick called "$"--with Goldie Hawn, I believe. Maybe it had more than one dollar sign, but it was in the movie houses for about a minute and I think it started popping up on late night within two years after it's release. LOVE your CHANNEL!!!
And in the year 2070 kids will remember i phones and xbox when you had to push buttons. Now in 2070 your in the game and telepathy brain chips can communicate with others no phones anymore. Ohh yes the good old days of 2015 when i was was a young boy. Good memories from decades ago.
Ah i so miss the times when TV was primarily entertainment for entertainments sake unlike today s TV that is primarily thinly veiled propaganda and social manipulation .
Back when ABC had the best shows n Dick Clark shows n when Soul Train n Midnight Special with Wolfman Jack was on....most the cable tv channels could die off and not be missed nowadays.
VH1 circa 1995 to 2005 rerun all these shows. But it gave up. At the time had another show called 70s Flashback with Suzanne Somers and others hosting. Also did weeks that were billed as 70s weeks and had shows about the 70s and guests in studio.
4:12 Should've included the entire Jeffersons theme song--what a classic! A little disappointed not to hear the theme songs, or at least part of them, for Happy Days, The Partridge Family & the Tonight Show (Johnny Carson)... ;)
I thought that for the letter E that you would have used the show Emergency! That was a good show and it was a 1970's show. Love from Marysville, California
Well not quite 50 years ago for me more like 47 to 8( years) for me I do remember watching some of the late 70s shows. But newish $6 million man and God Wonder woman and oh my God let me think Cagney and Lacey even the '80s Beretta still oh God I remember the '80s better than the '90s and better than the '70s I guess it's weird.
They probably should've had two (or more) of certain letters, like "S", and none of X-Y-Z (for example), instead of trying to do every letter in the alphabet.
The 70s weren't all that great either. Remember the energy crisis, Watergate, the recession of 1975? But... There wasn't the hopelessness that we see now, with opioid addiction, large scale homelessness, and great economic disparity. I guess, by contrast to America in the Age Of Trump, the 1970s DO look like a kinder,gentler time.
The stuff for this particular video came mostly from my own collection. I've collected TV themes since the days of audio only recordings in the '60s. As for my other videos, if I don't have it I grab it from RUclips.
For "B" I would've included the Brady Bunch instead of Baretta, but that's because I was a kid at the time. ;) Also, for "M" I would've included the Mary Tyler Moore show instead of Monday Night Football, even though I'm (also) a football fan.
It was a Norman Lear show that starred Paul Schaffer, (Yes David Letterman's Paul Schaffer) Greg Evigan and Mickey Rooney. It was take on the Broadway musical and later film, Damn Yankees. Two struggling musicians - Paul Schaffer and Greg Evigan were willing to sell their souls to the devil, Mickey Rooney for "a year at the top". If you liked the premise of Damn Yankees, then you would've understood and enjoyed the premise of this show. But it was either a mid-season or summer replacement show and CBS didn't give it enough time to build an audience.
19 yr old watching in 2020. (I know, original right?) but seriously, I've been watching these old shows on tv alot recently (you know why☝) and I love that each decade has its own weird flavors. Makes me wonder what f*cked up or wicked stuff is coming for this one.
CBS owned the 60's with staples like Gunsmoke, Get Smart, Andy Griffith & Ed Sullivan. NBC was perennially 2nd but had innovative shows like Star Trek. ABC was the weak sister to both so they had to try harder. As a result we got the BEST TV from them during that decade. I LOVED ABC!
Yes, ABC had MY kind of shows, like Outer Limits, Invaders, Addams Family, The Immortal and Jonny Quest. Get Smart, though, I consider an NBC staple, even though it moved to CBS in its last season or two.

The ABC Friday Night Movie, Happy Days, Supertrain,

old show are better than some of new shows and thank you so much for your kind of tv's clips
Not better than some. Better than ALL!
Wonder Woman was one of my favorite shows. I loved this as a kid. My sister and I watched it a lot.
I had to watch The Electric Company intro more than once! Good memories!
Thank you for letting me relived my childhood!
You're very welcome.

We got 4 channels when weather was good and 2 CBS, 1 NBC and 1 ABC.
That All in the Family skit was priceless!!
Didn't know there two intros but did know ABC CANCELLED IT, THEN CBS PICKED IT UP the rest is history
I think that was a "gag reel" made for the CBS Christmas party.
First time I saw it, they were so groundbreaking and hilarious!
Night Gallery!.That opening always scared the crap out of me.Back in the early 80's it was on every night at 10pm..If I was watching the show before that and forgot to change the channel(and remember we only had like 7 channels)and Night Gallery would come on my blood would chill.Same with the old Night Stalker show that came on late on Fridays..

Oh my gosh you guys are so awesome. Same exact thing with me.
Except I still can't handle it. I even fast forward it to the next intro.
Thanks for the wall down memory lane.

Ahhh when we had less channels and far more to watch
And no means to just record show to be watched at our convenience
less is usually more

I miss the 70's so much, that if I could retain everything I know now , I would go back to 1976 when I was 6 yo!
What a time trip back to the 70's.

It is a promo probably!
It was a special Anniversary special that talked about the show and had the cast talking about the content of the show...
@@myweightloss11928 seems like a gag reel
That was probably on an episode of Saturday night live.
Yeah me either
Very well put together! Really took me back.
Thanks, Gil.
10:54 - Lynda Carter- OMFG!
Since my tastes run to blonds it took a long time for me to appreciate Lydna Carter. But I second your emotion now!
😍
They didn't call her Wonder Woman for nothing!
I liked 10:43 better, when they showed a close-up of her standing up. ;)
So hot! She does voice work for The Elder Scrolls games. She also had a recent cameo in the Wonder Woman 84 movie
this is a great video and is much better than the standard fare of intro after intro, etc....great job

I thought it was because Carradine was a better actor and could be better understood. But you could be right
Come on.. David Carradine was great too..!!!
I watched Emergency and All in the Family amongst others. I was young so I was watching reruns from the 60's (Dragnet, Adam-12, Gilligan's Island).
Emergency & Adam 12 were my fav's
As a kid, I saw plenty of 60's (& 50's) reruns in the early 70s--Gilligan, Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie, Get Smart, Batman, Andy Griffith, Leave It To Beaver...amongst episodes of Brady Bunch and The Partridge Family, LOL

I do recall watching Quincy and thinking by the time you pulled out that saw if someone was still standing then they must have been very resilient.
I remember Cannon so well. You never saw him run a bad guy down though.
He was such a crack shot with his stubnose popgun he didn't have to.
I dont even know how he breathed,he was good though
Poot Daggy He was GREAT narrating " The Fugitive" beginnings and endings of each show !!😂😂👍👍
at the end of an episode , after he cracked a case , my dad would say , "Now he can go home and have steak & eggs" ..LOL
Many memories.
I remember the electric company.
Well, they're still around, sending us bills every month. Same day as the gas bill, in my area. ;)
Good Times was one of my favorite shows. So was Happy Days. I liked all these shows as a kid.

I wanna go back.
Some can be picked up with an HD or digital antenna attached to your TV with signal sent by a local broadcaster without having to pay for cable or dish.
Pretty sure that's a young Janet Jackson on "Good Times" at 2:52 (she was on that show for awhile as a kid, after John Amos left).
At my elementary school we got to watch the day's broadcast of the Electric Company each day. Now that is education!!

Well not quite 50 years ago for me more like 47 to 8( years) for me I do remember watching some of the late 70s shows. But newish $6 million man and God Wonder woman and oh my God let me think Cagney and Lacey even the '80s Beretta still oh God I remember the '80s better than the '90s and better than the '70s I guess it's weird.
That invisible plane ✈️!!!!!
That took efferent!!!!serioserly kudos😸😸😸😸sorry for spealing 😸😸😸
The electric company what a funky as intro
11:00 Cloris Leachman as Wonder Woman's mom. ;)
Now we know where Sailor Moon got an idea of
Was so hoping for a Starsky and Hutch bit...
They probably should've had two (or more) of certain letters, like "S", and none of X-Y-Z (for example), instead of trying to do every letter in the alphabet.
Kung Fu was one of my favorite TV shows!
No Charlie's Angels? More people remember Charlie's Angels than Cannon
I'm guessing Columbo also was more memorable than Cannon, which I've never heard of.
11:50 -Wheeeghwwwgeeenhgngeeeeee! : )
This was my childhood, the ole days....sad thing is, don't think they'll be another good ole days.....this world is going down the toliet.
The 70s weren't all that great either. Remember the energy crisis, Watergate, the recession of 1975?
But... There wasn't the hopelessness that we see now, with opioid addiction, large scale homelessness, and great economic disparity. I guess, by contrast to America in the Age Of Trump, the 1970s DO look like a kinder,gentler time.
Lawrence of Arabia went through the desert where they could have dust storms so doubt the dust under bed would have stopped him.
Dynamite!
DY'NO'MITE!!!
"Temporary layoffs, Good Times..." Hmmm, that sounds like 2020 with the Coronavirus. :(
The sharp spike in audio level at 12:33 was pretty jarring--could've done without that WGBH-Boston promo.
(Somewhat less jarring at 2:54.)
6:30 “F.U. Enterprises”. LOL!
Thanks for making and posting these. Where do you get this stuff?
The stuff for this particular video came mostly from my own collection. I've collected TV themes since the days of audio only recordings in the '60s. As for my other videos, if I don't have it I grab it from RUclips.

For "B" I would've included the Brady Bunch instead of Baretta, but that's because I was a kid at the time. ;)
Also, for "M" I would've included the Mary Tyler Moore show instead of Monday Night Football, even though I'm (also) a football fan.
what was that one show "A Year at the Top" ? I don't remember it at all. (It looked awful).
It was a Norman Lear show that starred Paul Schaffer, (Yes David Letterman's Paul Schaffer) Greg Evigan and Mickey Rooney. It was take on the Broadway musical and later film, Damn Yankees. Two struggling musicians - Paul Schaffer and Greg Evigan were willing to sell their souls to the devil, Mickey Rooney for "a year at the top". If you liked the premise of Damn Yankees, then you would've understood and enjoyed the premise of this show. But it was either a mid-season or summer replacement show and CBS didn't give it enough time to build an audience.
Beretta, was a show that should be on reruns today. To be he had to take a life.
" Oh Wondah Woman you tho amathing!"
Great memories. How did we get to this shitty present day? What will the youth of today remember fondly? Oh yeah, I forgot....Hate.
This being 2020, maybe the Coronavirus.
19 yr old watching in 2020. (I know, original right?) but seriously, I've been watching these old shows on tv alot recently (you know why☝) and I love that each decade has its own weird flavors. Makes me wonder what f*cked up or wicked stuff is coming for this one.
Good hearing from you, GP.
Best days
FredFlix, just where did you find that All In The Family clip?
RUclips.
Where was Laverne & Shirley or the Carol Burnett Show?
CBS owned the 60's with staples like Gunsmoke, Get Smart, Andy Griffith & Ed Sullivan. NBC was perennially 2nd but had innovative shows like Star Trek.
ABC was the weak sister to both so they had to try harder. As a result we got the BEST TV from them during that decade.
I LOVED ABC!
Yes, ABC had MY kind of shows, like Outer Limits, Invaders, Addams Family, The Immortal and Jonny Quest. Get Smart, though, I consider an NBC staple, even though it moved to CBS in its last season or two.
@@FredFlix I forgot that! thanks
A lifetime ago!
Wow! What the heck was that Electric Company promo? That's not the one I remember from 1973.
