It's noticeable that stuff from the 50s had more of an accent on the audio. Which stands to reason since it was people who worked in radio transitioning to TV. Visuals were a novelty to them. I think it was a Yellow Pages ad which featured a confused-looking ostrich running around. What stuck out for me was the catchy background music. Speaking of ads, it is refreshing to see products being sold without resorting to pandering to outrageous female ego (Man in the house behaves like a barely human animal, woman of the house is a superior being. And she buys our product.)
Don't forget there was a 1968 Ajax Liquid Cleaner "White Tornado" commercial where a house painter is terrified at the 'white tornado' "Mrs. North" is carrying in her shopping bag, warning her to "WATCH OUT!". It seeps back into the Ajax bottle when she explains what it is. "Mr. North", in the kitchen, says, "I was gonna clean the floor......". She kisses him hello, then gently scolds him for using "that green cleaner" {think "Top Job"}. He claims it has ammonia, but she makes him sniff his cleaner- then AJAX. He's convinced, as she tells him Ajax has MORE AMMONIA than the other one. "Why don't you go help the painter, dear?", she gently suggests.
@@fromthesidelines Oh, I won't say misandry in ads was nonexistent in the 60s. I recall a PSA that showed an overweight boy struggling to do just one chin-up while the deep-voiced announcer asked, "Can girls do things as well as boys?" Cut to a fit trim lassie in a leotard running up to the uneven parallel bars, leaping on them, doing an outstanding gymnastic routine, and sticking a perfect dismount. Close up on her beaming face as she says, "Maybe we can do them even _better!"_ Wow. Nearly every sitcom at the time had to have a required Battle-of-the-Sexes episode, sparked by the chauvinistic male characters (even if they never displayed any such attitudes before) and ended by the female characters showing that they could do what the guys did even better than the guys did it, while the guys made a shambles of the so-called "women's" work. So, yes, the seeds of it were there. But it's become an overgrown jungle today.
Man you have come a long way and I witnessed it many times. You get better with every video you have put out lately. A big part of that is the great new series you put out recently called "The America We Knew". What a great series! Presentation was perfect to me on them as a whole. I can't thank you enough for what you do for us of this age. We immensely appreciate it!😊
That's encouraging to hear, MT&G. I've been working on many episodes of TAWK in advance I can tell you they are getting more refined and the ones coming out in the next few weeks have exceeded all expectations. It's going to be fun as hell!
I was born in 1967, the same year as the That Girl segment in this video, and even though I remember what things were like back then, I experienced a moment of culture shock at 0:44 after Marlo Thomas said, “I think I’ll call him.” And then she reached for something in the pocket of her waitress’s uniform which I thought would be her cell phone to call her agent, but instead it was a dime to put in a pay phone 📞 to call him! It was like I was walking down the stairs and missed a step and almost lost my balance. Thanks Fred for posting these because they really do bring back happy memories 😃
Fred, don’t know how you do it, but the clips you put together are the greatest on YT. Thanks! BTW.. that’s Marshall Dillon, Joseph Conrad ( and Cannon) announcing for Pontiac. That authoritative voice!
I remember moving to upstate NY in 1968 & while in a hotel watching the Mets on TV, they were getting clobbered but in the 9th with Tom Seaver pitching, they came back to lose by one run. Now THAT was excitement & then came the "Miracle" Mets the following year. (Sorry Chicago)
Philip Morris was the primary sponsor of "HOGAN'S HEROES" during its first four years (1965-'69). They also co-sponsored "MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE" (including its Clark Gum and American Safety Razor divisions) during the same period.
You're welcome, watcher. Yeah, I spend more time on the computer than anyone I know. I'm retired and bored, so making these videos gives me something to do, and it's fun and rewarding to see people are enjoying them.
That was a good one Fred. Then Came Bronson was a favorite of mine. Would love to see one of the retro channels start showing that. And I'll take one of those '68 Chargers please. 👍
My OH MY Fred! I had no clue Lawrence Welk was on ABC. Always saw it in syndication. The GTO and Charger commercials got my blood pressure way up! This episode is full of so much. Have to watch it again to take it all in. Thanks my friend (I hope you are not offended by this Fred. I consider you a long distance friend, because we share so much in common).
That had to be Victoria Principal touting the '68 Charger. If so, I think that's the youngest I've ever seen her in anything. She's a super sweetheart with great taste in cars!
Ah, the golden age of television! Every woman seemed to have that Marlo Thomas hairdo. I'm half-watching a Danny Thomas marathon as I write this. Our family didn't have a color TV -- that was even more of a big dollar item than an iPhone, back then. I didn't get to watch the first two seasons of Star Trek because we lived too far out in the sticks to get that channel. We moved to the city in '68 and I went TV crazy -- caught up on a lot of shows. I associate Mannix with babysitting on a weekend night. Probably built a model car of that Dodge Charger on the money I got from the babysitting.
What ever happened to Matlo Thomas after the That Girl show? She dropped out of the scene until she married Phil Donahue, talkshow. His son later joined SNL.
Was that a pre-Kung Fu David Carradine as Shane? I don't remember that one, but then I was only 6 at the time. What I wouldn't give to have a 67 GTO or a 69 Charger today! I do remember 1969 though. What a great year that was, Joe Namath won us the superbowl and Tom Seaver won us the world series! Thanks for the memories Fred! 👍👍👍👍
Great job, Fred! 2:25 - The opening is from S2 episode "Operation 'Heart'". The closing credits are from S1 episode "Wheels". 6:09 - Wow! George Bailey's mom & Mrs. Trumbull together! The original airdate was Mar. 7, 1960. 9:05 - I don't recall Andy Taylor ever having a dog. 10:10 - I don't remember ever even hearing of this show, but then I never cared for horror shows. 17:55 - I thought Cincinnati's team was the Redlegs. I guess it changed to the Red Stockings before going back to just the plain Reds.
I always imagine what I'd do if I could go back to those times and know what I know now. What would I do differently? Well, first, I'd invest in Xerox. :-)
Great clips. I saw so many great actors and actresses throughout these clips. One actor named Patrick McGoohan ("Secret Agent") was one of my favorites. He was an excellent actor who was also associated with one of my favorite shows, "Columbo". He was a very versatile actor who could play a variety of roles as both good guy and bad guy. Also loved those car commercials. I can't even imagine how much money a mint condition '68 Dodge Charger would be worth on the open market today. I can only say it would be a lot more than the original sticker price in '68! That's for sure! 😀
My parents had Christmas tree ornaments that were just like the star-shaped in the Playhouse 90 logo. I forgot about Clark's Gum. Clove, Beeman's, Black Jack and Teaberry.
Love the look back, Fred. Patrick McGoohan's character was likely the same character shown in The Prisoner. Such a nostalgic feeling to see the days when we actually looked forward to the latest model year of cars, especially American cars. I've never seen The Evil Touch. Looks interesting. Darren McGavin would of course go on to star as Kolchak.
Lots of fun stuff I remember. The Marlboro commercial with the complete song is classic not seen in ages. Also liked the wide track by Pontiac. Never realized Milton Berle was on as late as 1966. No Saturday night not complete as a kid without my folks watching Welk then Hollywood Palace those were the days. Thanks Fred
Playhouse 90 was great stage drama for the small screen. 90-minute versions of 'Judgement and Nuremberg', 'The Miracle Worker' and 'Requiem for a Heavyweight' were just some of the live performances that aired.
Growing up in New Hampshire, I have very found memories of Curt Gowdy. My father and I would watch Red Sox games on Sunday afternoons together after dinner. Thank you for the clip of Gowdy doing the 1969 World Series for NBC, Fred. My father passed away this past March at 94, and, although he had Alzheimer 's, he still asked about the Sox during my visits with him at the Veterans Home.
That NBC Game of the Week intro brings me back big time. The Tigers pitcher in the black and white intro was Denny McLain, the Mets lefty was Jerry Koosman, Frank Robinson was right after him, followed by Dave McNally, then Donn Clendenon. Brings me back to watching all those games on TV with my dad on many, many Saturday afternoons. Thanks Fred!
@@ThomasGidley-kv2uj I think Steve Carlton could've done it in 1972. Carlton went 27-10 that year while pitching for the Phillies, who only failed to lose 100 games that year because of Carlton. If he'd been with a contending team, he could easily have won at least 3 or 4 more games that year.
Ah, the TAGS intro that shows the closeup of Opie's rock splashing into the water. I've only seen that once on modern TV - I forget which channel and which episode.
That Girl is a truly classic from the 60's, it's one of my favorites, thank you, Fred.
You're welcome, Matthew.

William Conrad's voiceover work for the GTO is excellent. No wonder he had such a long, successful career.

The opening clips of the Beatles Cartoon reminded me of a really funny time as a young kid because I used to squeal with laughter at the end when all the girls are chasing them and then a mermaid comes up out of the water and swishes her fishtail after the crowd! Haha!
Wow!!! That Discovery ’67 animation and theme jarred my brain all the way back to age six! I still remembered the music even though I haven’t heard it in over five decades! It’s the small joys like this that actually count in our lives.
Many thanks once again, Fred.
Sure thing, Dave. You're so right about the small joys. Maybe most people wouldn't care, but those long-buried jingles are like gold to us.
I love the jazzy theme to Discovery '62-'71.
❤I remember that music too.
Thank you very much. A Saturday morning surprise.
You're welcome, Jan.
That Discovery theme shot me right back in rime 😊
That theme was an "earworm"...a good one. 😄
It's noticeable that stuff from the 50s had more of an accent on the audio. Which stands to reason since it was people who worked in radio transitioning to TV. Visuals were a novelty to them.
I think it was a Yellow Pages ad which featured a confused-looking ostrich running around. What stuck out for me was the catchy background music.
Speaking of ads, it is refreshing to see products being sold without resorting to pandering to outrageous female ego (Man in the house behaves like a barely human animal, woman of the house is a superior being. And she buys our product.)

@@fromthesidelines Oh, I won't say misandry in ads was nonexistent in the 60s.
I recall a PSA that showed an overweight boy struggling to do just one chin-up while the deep-voiced announcer asked, "Can girls do things as well as boys?" Cut to a fit trim lassie in a leotard running up to the uneven parallel bars, leaping on them, doing an outstanding gymnastic routine, and sticking a perfect dismount. Close up on her beaming face as she says, "Maybe we can do them even _better!"_
Wow.
Nearly every sitcom at the time had to have a required Battle-of-the-Sexes episode, sparked by the chauvinistic male characters (even if they never displayed any such attitudes before) and ended by the female characters showing that they could do what the guys did even better than the guys did it, while the guys made a shambles of the so-called "women's" work.
