I was born in '63. My older brother was in Veit Nam in '68. Came home in '70. He checked out in '80. I sure miss him. I love the memories, but Batman made me cry. Good times, bad times.
Kids today don’t know about that channel selector , lol , I was the remote control when I was a kid , dad would say put it on channel 7 or 22 , lol , ah the memories .
Thank you for taking the time to compile these video snippets which represent the happiest period of my life(I was born in the early 1960s). I fondly remember sitting in front of the family TV set( first a B/W set, then by 1967 a color set) with my parents all set for a great night of family entertainment(unlike TV these days) after watching Walter Cronkite tell us about the news of the world on the CBS Evening News(7:00-7:30pm EST)
Just another example of a better life through television. LOL. Thank you Fred Flix for being a caretaker to (some of) the memories that comprise (some of) our lives.
I was 11 years old in 66 until December 25th when I turned 12. We always played Journey to the Center of the Earth in the summer in my our house with all the neighborhood kids because mom was at work when Dark Shadows came on. The floor was lava so we had to travel on chairs and tables and whatever else to get around the living room into the kitchen. If you touched the floor you died from the lava.
Dark Shadows! I would arrive home from grade school and almost immediately hide underneath the end table in our living room. Lol That show was scary to my 7 year old self!
1966 was the year I had my first child. I watched a LOT of TV! We got our first color tv that year at the beginning of December so we could watch the Christmas programming in color. Great memories. Thank you! 😃👍🏻
I remember cigarettes commercials and when they were banned Jan 1 1971. There were a bunch in the last two weeks they were still legal. Thank you sir for your videos and the memories.
The sugar crisp commercial has a cut in the middle. The voice of the witch was Ruth Buzzi from "Laugh-In!"~~ The Road Runner Show opening song is abridged, I remembered a second verse and second chorus as soon as the thing did its jump-cut~~ ...I was 8 y.o. in '66, I'm just happy some of those brain cells still work~~~
@@onyx59 I wasn't quite sure the days it was on either; for a long, long time I thought the premiere episode was the one with the Joker, and this high school's vending machines were giving out piles of silver dollars! I thought, that was mighty nice of the Joker,what was he doing wrong? But I do remember, "Batman " started when I was in the 6th grade, when I got to the school several of the boys were talking about it.
Was born in 64...so This is just opening up a flood gate's of memories...Thanks Fred.....it's some times hard to leave your channel because just so interested in what comes up next...
1966 was a great year for me . I got my First Holy Communion st 8 years old and watched just about every show especially Marvel superheroes cartoons ,had a Captain Action , chewed Teaberry gum and also Television in this year was when they broadcasted in color though we didnt have one till 1970 . The sixties had some cool shows such as Batman and Star Trek .
In 1966 I was in 1st grade, Catholic parochial school. My Irish immigrant parents didn't watch TV so we five kids watched all these shows. The biggest thing for me that year was the battle between Batman and Robin and the Green Hornet and Kato. We knew instinctively that Bruce Lee would destroy Burt Ward. Even a 6 year could see the draw was a complete fix!
Wow, I never saw the commercial for Savings Bonds with Batman flogging bonds for war in Vietnam- This was when cigarettes and beer ruled TV and sports. (Smoking was cool then )
where was I in 1966? Apparently the same place where most of us on here were, parked in front of the tv ! LOL !!!🙂 I remember all these like it was yesterday ! Thanks
yep ! thats all we had had, ABC, CBS, NBC and a PBS(which wasn't worth a darn) a black/white tv, no remote, and we had to adjust the rabbit ears everytime we changed channels.....
rockin' too hard blowing bubbles with bubble gum...LOL !!! I always got yelled at for trying to adjust and readjust the rabbit ears, trying to get a better picture, was told "your going to break them !"
but I do watch all this on my pc 19 in. monitor, I can't imagine watching this on some 3x5 inch hand held thingy. Also on my cable tv system, i have a few oldies channels, like Me tv that do show a lot of the old tv shows.
I love the old stuff, Watched some 1950's movie the other day, "The Attack Of the Giant Leeches". and The Munsters, I think I appreciate the wit more today than I did back when I first saw the show.
Just came across this as a UA-cam recommendation and so glad they did, liked & subscribed now, and I am in deep appreciation to you, Sir! Sharing on my FB page too!!!
Life sure was different for a 6-year-old in '66 vs '19. Then, it was ok to act like a ranger or Indian. Then it was ok to walk to the park or school. Then you didn't have to cover your ears when the radio played top hits. Now.... well we all know how "now" is.
Saturday mornings on Heros & Icons channel I watch Batman tv series which show debut a year before I was born but love the series better than the latest movies & I have a Hot Wheels version of the original Batmobile from the series. I've watched the Great Pumpkin in the 70's in fact I watched recently on tv, still like the show to this day.
The promo for the first season of Batman was the coolest thing I ever saw. It didn't lead on that it would be played for laughs. It was dark and ominous. Can't find it anywhere.
Somewhat disturbing...at 8:22, the Monkees Rice Krispies Mileage test predicts the passing of Peter Tork and Davy Jones prior to Mickey Dolenz and Michael Nesmith.
In 1966 we only got one (1) teevee channel, CBS. We only saw any other teevee shows if we visited our grandparents houses. We thought it was great they got three channels.
As a member of the Pasadena Tournament Of Roses I’m going to research that clip of Vin Scully and Elizabeth Montgomery hosting the Rose Parade on January 2 January 2 was a Monday that year and the tournament never hold the parade on Sunday and it goes back to when they first started churches were open so out of respect for the church is on Sundays the parade would be held on Monday
Damn, Fred, how did I miss this one ? Captain Action was the absolute best toy, at least for me. Sure two years earlier we were introduced to G.I. Joe, but Captain Action could be so many superheroes ! Those were definitely the golden days of my childhood at least. Pam Austin was so sweeeet. God, who didn't have a crush on her. Batman plugging savings bonds, smooth, and who else had the number to the Batphone other than Commissioner Gordon!? And we know, it just wouldn't be right, without a smoke, which I never did, go figure. Didn't know The Hulk cartoon was P.G. but Road Runner was G. T.H.E. Cat was a good show, have the series on bootleg. Of course it wouldn't be 1966 without one of the best T.V. shows that will ever exist, The Wild Wild West. I see Twister, but you left out Nude Twister, oh wait, that's only in the deep recesses of my 'twisted' mind, never mind. And yet, once again, Boldman, whisks away with another housewife. Ah, great stuff Mr. Fred, great stuff.
I remember watching Batman premiere (in color) like it was yesterday. We loved it! And, back then, it all looked so modern and high-tech. It was really cool. Too bad new viewers today will never experience that feel... they'll only see it as dated and old fashioned.
60s tv seemed like a lot of fun with the wacky shows. Watching the ads helps those of us who were not around see people from shows then pitching products, which gives us a better idea of their popularity. Too bad they were not broadcasting in color from start to finish. They could have.... The wild and dazzling 60s color schemes are totally gone in black and white.
Re that Rice Krispies ad w/The Monkees: Sadly, there's now only one of them left...Micky Dolenz is the sole surviving Monkee. He recently released an album where he sings a bunch of Mike Nesmitj's songs, entitled "Dolenz Sings Nesmith," produced by Mike's oldest son Christian Nesmith.
I remember those syndicated Marvel Super Heroes cartoons. I lived for when Boston's channel 7 (WNAC-TV, ABC) would air them Monday through Friday afternoons back in '66. Then I made the mistake of watching some of them on UA-cam a few years ago. When I was 6 I didn't remember the animation in those cartoons being so crappy. Despite their shortcomings the stories were pretty faithful to the original comic books.
Can you imagine how the women would react if they aired a commercial in 2019 where the little-Mrs. cries after realizing she has failed as a wife by not getting her hubby's shirts white enough!?! Thanks for the memories Fred!
@@krisrhood2127 *When we were first married, I asked my blushing bride to iron a couple of shirts for an impending business trip I was taking. She took time from her busy schedule and told me to follow her and watch as she did so. After she was finished perfectly ironing my rather expensive button down shirts, she calmly said, "There, now you know how to iron a shirt." Of course I was barely paying attention as I was too busy thinking about the upcoming meeting, I did, in time, learn to iron my own shirts. Although I trashed many shirts as I honed my ability, none-the-less I did indeed learn the skill.*
My Dad and I were huge fans of Superman, Batman and Star Trek and the golden age of television. Marvel superheroes and Spider-Man 1967 were mostly cartoons and didn’t become movies until the 21st century. Because I didn’t read Marvel comics when I was a kid it wasn’t until the movies
Someone should make a parody version of that Bold Man commercial, which BoldMan simply goes off and sets up house with the woman, who is thrilled to have a man who actually APPRECIATES a woman doing his laundry for him and doing a great job, instead of sniping about how the other guy has even whiter shirts.
How did the makers of Captain Action get the licenses for all those other characters, from a half-dozen different rights holders? Were the rights disregarded then, and thus cheap to obtain, or did the makers just rip them off?
Fred Flix, You had promos here for Captain America and The Incredible Hulk cartoons. We're they part of an anthology series? What network aired them? Any information that you have is truly appreciated.
The Cap and Hulk cartoons, along with Iron Man, Thor and Sub-Mariner, were part of a group of 5 which were syndicated to local stations. A different cartoon was aired each day of the week.
I was born in '63.
My older brother was in Veit Nam in '68. Came home in '70.
He checked out in '80.
I sure miss him.
I love the memories, but Batman made me cry.
Good times, bad times.
53 years later, "The Great Pumpkin" is still my favorite Peanuts cartoon. I remember when it was sponsored by Dolly Madison.
Me too. I always associated dolly Madison cakes with Charlie Brown.
Kids today don’t know about that channel selector , lol , I was the remote control when I was a kid , dad would say put it on channel 7 or 22 , lol , ah the memories .

It seemed a different world they I cannot begin to truly visualize having been there.

Green Acres was place to be for me back in '66.
The Beverly Hillbillies too! By 1968 I was living in a little country neighborhood called "Green Acres" true story, lol!
i still watch Green Acres, it's on MeTV
One of the greatest TV shows ever made.

One of the greatest years in television, and most programs were in Color!!!!!
1966- The best year for pop culture, ever.
Elizabeth Montgomery was one of my first crushes. Damn, she was beautiful.
The sugar crisp commercial has a cut in the middle. The voice of the witch was Ruth Buzzi from "Laugh-In!"~~

Gerry Matthews was "Sugar Bear".
If he catches you you're through!
That coyote is really a crazy clown. When will he learn that he never can run him down?

1966 was the greatest year for TV (And Toys) since the inception of the medium.
thoroughly enjoyed, looks like 'new' one for '66. THNX
You're welcome, John.

I carefully consider all the music for the openings. It's important.
