@@tkarcher940 90 years old, WOW bless her heart. I'm sure I'm not the first to tell you, treasure every day you are with your Mother. My Mom died first and Dad just gave up.
I was 15 in the year 1970. Should I be dead by now, too? I hope I'm long gone by 2070! The Bicentennial year in 1976 wasn't much of anything. Will you live to see 2076?
The world back then was much safer as a kid I walked home from school alone but different routes. Also played outside and had to be dragged inside , today kids stay indoors and have to be dragged outside. Fred catches the times quite well and must have a archive of videos to entertain us from the past.
The music is "Call To Danger" from the "Hawaii Five O" television film pilot "Cocoon" scored by Morton Stevens (and can be heard on the soundtrack C.D.).
Yes! Still runs chills down my spine, that built-in expectation for something cool is gonna start on TV. I remember the earlier version, a simpler 1960s style, with a little house or something at the bottom whose roof popped up when the word SPECIAL showed, I think before one of those Rankin-Bass Christmas programs.
:20 - When you were a kid in the 70's, nothing was better than the Christmas specials like "Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer" or "Merry Xmas Charlie Brown" and when you saw that CBS Special Presentation, you lost your shit: "IT'S ON! IT'S ON! SHUT UP!" Then me and my bros laid down in the living room, on the shag rug, next to the wood paneling, in front of our giant Zenith-wooden cabinet TV. (Pre-remote control days.)
USMC 73-77 Aww! Thank you for the encouragement. My mom passed away and I was in a recovery program far from home at the time, so watching the good old tv shows from the past helped! Things are much better, now! Take care.
I remenber cigarette ads on TV and thought nothing of them at the time; but now, 50 years later, it's like watching an outtake from Bladerunner ! So bizarre, sending free cigs to veteran's homes and hospitals ! Surreal !
The amount of cig smoking on TV was more than ridiculous but a sign of the times and that cigs were given to vets in the hospital speaks volumes. Sign of the times, indeed. Remember when you could smoke in a hospital??!! No matter where you went folks SMOKED!!! Restaurants filled with billows of smoke...unbelieveable compared to today and when the man says "This is really living" before blowing out a ball of smoke I didn't think I would ever stop laughing at the irony...smoking equated with great living..wow
@@DanaTheInsane I smoke....a little, 2maybe3 per day and I leave my smokes at home. Even as a smoker it was tooo much back in the day. I remember going into a cafe in late 90s and everyone, I mean everyone was on fire! There was a thick cloud of blue smoke that made the room dark as if it were nighttime....it was 2o'clock in the afternoon...i couldn't believe it!!! I walked out after I regained my senses. I'm telling you you would have thought it was midnight the room was that dark from all the smoke. As a nonsmoker you probably would have passed out!! Sometimes I wonder about all the people in that room...are they still here or underground??
How could I have forgotten the CBS Late Movie? Saw the intro and it all came back. I'd attributed all my TV late movie memories to the local CBS station's THE LATE SHOW, but now I think many aired on this network program. (The rest of this mainly black-and-white era compilation were "before my time.")
Extremely glad to once again see that Opening to a CBS Special. So unique & creative. Time makes you remember or forget. Geez. God bless those days. As Mr. Wilson[Walter Matthau], said in Dennis the Menace[1993]: “God bless those pajamas.” When he tore them, as he did a split.
All those Post cereals at the beginning were sugar coated. So mom and dad can peel them off the ceiling because of their sugar high. Did you know that the Flintstones were originally sponsored by Winston? It wasn't initially intended to be a kids show but an animated family sitcom?
I recall The CBS Late Movie showing the last season of Hawaii Five-0 and re-titling it McGarrett, even changing the title sequence with the wave at the beginning to McGarrett. Strange but true!
I remember McGarrett. CBS tried but failed with this one. The old crew from 5-0 were gone and while William Smith was a versatile actor he was not enough to sustain the show. Jack Lord looked like he was ready to "stop the wave." It had been almost 15 years playing the same character complete with an unbelievable pompodour(sp) that never moved no matter how hard he stared, ran, sweat, and fought, with only a few wisps of hair waving in the wind and super tight lips. The longer a show is on the more likely plots will become ridiculous and repetitious. Woe Fat could only do so much. Lord and pros like him are sorely missed today.
The CBS Late Show intro took me back. I used to watch the 11:00 o'clock news, Carson, and then The Late Show. Until Mom came home at 2:30, when the bar closed, and I would pretend I was asleep. Remember the short lived "Men" with Robert Conrad?
I used to watch ultra man On WUTV channel 29 buffalo new york That girl 1966 love marlo Thomas Free to be you and me 1972 I also used to watch Ozzie and Harriet on channel 29 in 1972 As an 8 year old.Loved that show My brother jon loved the wild wild west camel cigarettes before They knew it caused lung cancer Thank you for the trip down memory lane.
Very vivid memories of CBS LAte movie circa 1978-1982: Repeats of the NEW Avengers (w. Patsy from AbFAB); whole series of SALVAGE 1 w/ Andy Griffith and Nurse Daniels from St. Elsewhere; Burnt Offerings and other Horror movies like 9th Configuration
As Mighty Mouse says, "Here I come to save the day!" I also remember Nancy Malone for her appearances on "The Twilight Zone" and "The Outer Limits". (On both shows, Ms. Malone removed her shoes and went about in her stocking feet.)
You could take used glass Pepsi bottles to grocery stores and get 3 cents a bottle. Before someone slams me Im sure some places more or less for returned bottles.
It ran 4 seasons starting in 1965 at about 26 eps. per season on CBS. It cashed in on the then-current spy craze and America's love of Westerns (at the time). Viewers had never seen anything like it. The guy who made it work was Robert Conrad.
FredFlix Robert Conrad had an idea for a comedy "Hard Knox" that was to be set in my childhood home town Mount Carroll, Illinois. He even filmed a made for TV movie there in 1980 but it didn't sell.
yes twold4this, it was one of the best shows on TV back in the day. My friends and I NEVER missed an episode, in fact we would take turns watching it at each others' houses! They liked my house best because my mother would always make us cookies (mostly chocolate chip) and serve milk or in the winter hot chocolate.. all the other mothers were either too cheap or just too lazy (at least that's what my mother always said at the time LOL!).
Conrad had the tightest pants on tv!!! He and Ross Martin had great chemistry. Michael Dunne, Oscar nominated actor, was a revelation as Professor Loveless. Or was it Doctor Loveless??? No matter, Dunne was exceptional given his short stature. Shows what a powerful actor he was.
Where was I 50 years ago? Probably the same as most everyone else....in front of the TV. Where do you find these things? Great job as always.....keep up the good work
I've been collecting interesting TV stuff for 40 years. First, off TV with a VCR, then ordering videos and now what I don't have I can find on UA-cam. All videos I make for myself first, then I post them if they're good enough.
Re "The Long Hot Summer": I never knew Lana Wood did anything but a James Bond movie and a few low budget horror/sexploitation flicks. So she had a series as well? Loved her Playboy spread.
@@chipperprime Um, they WERE racist logos. That's WHY they were re-done. Does that fact that Aunt Jamima isn't a "negro mammy" anymore give your racist heart a "sad"? Good.
@@DanaTheInsane These women did exist. I genuinely don't understand why a logo depicting one is racist. Is the Betty Crocker logo automatically sexist? No. Is the Quaker Oats logo de facto prejudiced against Quakers? No. So why is it different just because Aunt Jemima is black?
At :53, HEY, where's my Puffa Puffa Rice? They did exist, THEY DID. But they were taken off the shelves, permanently, SO long ago, I'm not sure if they were the Post kind anymore.
@@tomservo56954 Do you remember, in the early 1960s the small boxes of cereal used to have a perforation on the front of their boxes, so with your spoon you can break the front open, pour some milk in it and eat it OUT OF THE BOX? Saw a man do that in a diner one time. Do you know when they stopped doing that?
Not being the least bit sarcastic, but what does "triggered" mean? I'm a writer, as you can see on the web, and I'm always keeping up on contemporary terms. Thank you, sir. And, you are correct ... always annoying when a white actor plays another ethnic group. In my play LAST OF THE CUACASIANS, which is on line, we address the issues of the many times a white actor played a Native American. Thank you again, Alan.
@@FredFlix Do you remember one of their cigarette commercials , during the "Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour" - I got the promo recorded on a reel tape in case no one believes me; the announcer actually said, " You don't have to light 'em to like 'em !" ( I forgot what brand they were promoting).
I have early episodes of "Make Room for Daddy" on DVD, with Jean Hagen. as his first wife, and yes, they have their cigarette commercials as well. But when I saw "Make Room for Daddy" new episodes in the early 1960s on TV, their sponsor was Post cereal.
50 years ago I was 14 years old, and so in love with my cute girlfriend who was 14 also. We experienced our first ever REAL kiss was with each other. I saw he a few years ago, we laughed about old times.
I saw real cigarette packs near the check-out counter at the store, they already had that warning label on them - SURGEON GENERAL: Cigarettes may be hazardous to your health , by 1965, when I was about ten! But the TV GUIDE magazine still had cigarette ads in the 1970s ( including those warning labels, as well).
The biggest slap in the face To the wild wild west tv show Was seeing will smith play james West in the movie. I hated the show anyway so it was no great loss to me lol

That hits me right in the heart . I remember these sitting on my grandmother’s front steps in the summer and I could hear these
So many memories, these commercials brought back my parents, my grandparents, uncles and aunts! Thanks for the memories!
Thats it a cbs special special presentation. I knew I heard it a million times.

Then there were only 3 or 4 during a commercial break, not 37!
Tidbit: The music on the CBS Special Presentation tag was clipped from Hawaii Five-O.
Very nice indeed!!
Thanks!
"The Long Hot Summer"'s main title song is the same one from the feature film (sung by Jimmie Rodgers).
From a time when Sugar wasn't a bad word.
The gun coming out of Robert Conrad's sleeve was done in taxi driver. Did Scorsese get that idea from this? Hmm I wonder
