Thank you for taking the time to upload memories of a simple time in my life. I loved to come home from school and watch them even though they were in re runs. I hated growing up and not watching them but you have brought back the good old days! Thanks for sharing!
Besides being very entertaining, this serial was a morality play. TV for kids was like that in those days. There were lots of positive role models, and examples of what you could become if you stuck with it, stayed in school, and developed your talents. Here, even the mean girl comes around. We were all very young, and we aspired to be the big kids, high schoolers, living in a prosperous town much like Ashford. We who grew up in the America 1950s and 60s were well loved by our parents, families, and teachers. We anticipated every day. The future was a very bright place, full of promise and limitless opportunity, not like now at all. Kids today don't have nearly as much to look forward to, just poor schools, meager paychecks, and endless competition for largely dead-end jobs.
Poor Spin and Marty. They looked so uncomfortable dancing and singing. Aunt Lila's house has a library, but no living room! This is like a time capsule to a simpler, sweeter time. Thanks for posting it.
Shelley Fabares started playing Mary on the Donna Reed show in the fall of 1958-only six months or so after this serial.Her younger brother in the Donna Reed show was played by Paul Petersen,who had briefly been in the Mickey Mouse Club in 1955(although he was fired from the Mouseketeers for disorderly conduct after six months).
I watched the Donna Reed Show just to see Paul.. We're about the same age.. Didn't he help ypung actors when he was older because he knew what it was Ike growing up in Hollywood..🎈🎈🎈
mscentrum04 I still know all the words to this-four decades later!Charming, she was always. We all wanted to be Annette.This series was much loved at the time, and of course, now.Annette always said she only had a "3 note range", singing---but her charm, grace,and sweetness took her right to Heaven.I still can recall these simple stories, and the sweetness of it all. God Bless our "Dearly Beloved."
I love token clip shows they are so involving and remind you of what you've seen before. Disney after sixteen episodes knew what they had to do to pad things out.
@@phoenixdavida8987 Those are not here parrents but aunt an uncles, her parrents passed awy years ago, an she stayed with family, until they where not able to care for her no longer, than they sent her to her familys
I looked her up and the actress playing Steve’s mother was 54 in this series. Looked so much older, like a grandmother, especially in the dress shop episode.
@@SOCORROSILVA-in7px It's Laura Rogan (not Logan). Yes Annette stole the necklace but so much heat came on her, she put it back but dropped it inside the piano to make it look like it got lost there. The ploy worked and Laura believed it, and later apologised to Anette who got away with it.
VERY NICE ~ WOULD you happen to know what is the hold up on the release of the ANNETTE DVD SET that was supposed to be available in November? Are they releasing it at a Later date?
so i found out about these episodes because it was mentioned in a book I was reading and I kept watching until this episode then I realized my eyes were HURTING only to see that its almost 3 in the morning ... gosh guess i gotta continue watching tomorrow :/ I was enjoying that more than i expected...
It's done on a low budget. The "school" entrance in the opening scenes is actually the back of the Disney studio. They probably just lifted a few graphic artists from the studios to play the minor parts... whoever was available for a couple of hours.
@vortexnyc You're right -- as a whole those times had their problems -- just as the world does today; the racial prejudice, gay bashings, bombings, etc, still occur. In Disney's defense, his show was made for children. Back then it was acceptable for a child to be a child and not have to shoulder the burdens of the world.. a little escapism does a body and mind good.
Annette did steal the necklace. That's why she felt so guilty. She only dumped it in the piano when the heat came on her later. Annette was a thief and a charlatan. Jet Maypen was the real hero.
I would like to make a correction from my previous message.I said that Paul Petersen had been fired from the Mickey Mouse Club after six months,but it was more like six DAYS.I read a book by him about the Mickey Mouse Club and he talks about how he was the first to be fired-and then the Rooney boys.(Chuckle!) Interesting in that in 1958,the year the Mickey Mouse club was cancelled,Petersen got the steady job on the Donna Reed show that he had the next eight years.
In 1957 annette was the most popular. She was the black girl it took 50 years to get the princess and the frog and you knew annette was the black and white peoples favorite. Real, real, real sweet. Blk girl church like.
I wish I could have spent more time with my Nana because she knitted, crocheted, tatted, and other hand crafts, but we were a Navy family, moved all over and Mom didn't have her mother's artestry. As it is I know one knitting stitch .

These are wonderful! I wish life was as charming and simple as it is here.
Thanks for going to all the effort of uploading this for us all. :)

I just loved her, never missed any of these episodes including Spin and Marty
The art of letter writing, decades before the arrival of e-mails.
Thanks so much for loading this series, it’s really amazing to see what life was like back then❣️I still say Steady has a tapeworm.
It's odd how genuinely polite and gracious the teen boys are.
The hair style of the two lead dudes - wow!
I love this show so much 0:22
Annette had very beautiful handwriting
For a 16 year old? Hahaha!

Do you have any physical proof of what you are saying is a lie?
No proof equals no posting message and this message remains here for 50 more years.
Good bye to rude mannered people. ©®
Date and time: Unknown
@@SOCORROSILVA-in7px That message won't remain for 50 years. You Tube routinely cleans up threads and deletes older posts to save space.
I'm musician myself (more instrumental than vocal) and believe me, Annette had a lot more than three notes in her vocal range!
At 03:58, the girl on the far right is ... actress Shelley Fabares! A few years later, played daughter Mary on The Donna Reed Show.
I wonder if Annette's letter will ever end up on Ebay
Ah yes, the budget chapter. A staple of movie serials of the 30s, 40s and 50s.
These parents are olllllld! Steve's mom looked to be in her mid 60s!
That's what I thought.
@@phoenixdavida8987 Those are not here parrents but aunt an uncles, her parrents passed awy years ago, an she stayed with family, until they where not able to care for her no longer, than they sent her to her familys

From approximately 0:44 until approximately 7:06 Annette recalls, in the letter to her Uncle Archie and Aunt Lila, how she felt to be wanted and as soon as Laura Logan noticed that her necklace was missing she automatically put the blame on Annette WITHOUT HAVING PHYSICAL PROOF to label her as a thief from the party until the barbecue.
I just hope that her friend, Mike, can find her as quick as a rocket because they will not sleep well knowing that Annette is some where in hopes of returning back to Beaver Junction, Nebraska.
Please think positive before doing something stupid. ©®

If you do go back to the episodes of the party and the lost necklace, then can anybody please confirm if it was stolen or is Laura Logan just forgot to take it back from Steve?
Please keep rude remarks outside. I don't need to have ill mannered people, like Laura, removing my nice comments over here. ©®

Look at the starched doily under her letter. Do you have any idea how much work it takes to starch and iron that thing?

Amazing what we did with our time before we sat at computers for hours.
Sometimes late at night, i like to dress up as Annette and prance around the house pretending to go to the malt shop.
Aren't Steve's parents more around what would be his grandparents' age? Course back then a 17 year-old looked about 35 : )
Agreed.

One thing is for sure Jett Maypen is defending Annette against Laura from 5:52 until 6:57.
Friends like Jett are truly hard to come around and should be acknowledged as such.
Please treat people as you want them to treat you. ©®

At approximately 5:43 Steve dances with Annette and Jett confronts Laura and defends her from this ungrateful person.
Jett, Laura and Steady enter the swimming pool and Steve gave a towel to Jett Maypen so that she can dry out.
Please treat nice people as gold. ©®

Your a freakin weirdo🤨
Oh, you’re naughty! 😹
I like Mike. He's sweet!

Petersen was fired for punching the casting director.
i love annette
In 1957 annette was the most popular. She was the black girl it took 50 years to get the princess and the frog and you knew annette was the black and white peoples favorite. Real, real, real sweet. Blk girl church like.
I just checked on episode 17 and the sound is working on my pc, Don't know what the problem is with your pc. jms1943
I think Annette is going to run away and join the circus.
Is this available on DVD?
or crochet lace by hand?? my nana used to crochet lace with the skinny skinny hooks & thread.
I wish I could have spent more time with my Nana because she knitted, crocheted, tatted, and other hand crafts, but we were a Navy family, moved all over and Mom didn't have her mother's artestry. As it is I know one knitting stitch .
Hey! where is the sound? Is it my computer or was it disabled by You Tube
is there any more episodes
Farewell Annette
Can the hay ride scene be any more fake?
no sorry i meant laura's mother. she's the one.
You understand that this is fiction, right?
It really wasn't that much of a fight. No real punches were thrown.
Laura is right. Annette's song is dull.
I know Judy Nugent is older but she reminds me of Mary Badham.
hi
Luara was a spoiled bratth
Uncle Archie: Lilah2x! Annette is gone.
Lilah: Gone,what do you mean gone?
Uncle Archie: She'll die!
