My family was military, so growing up before social media and cheap long distance, I don't have any of those old friends. My family bonded around the TV set. Your channel is kind of like visiting old friends. Thanks.
Back when what you watched on TV was whatever they gave you. No 1,000+ channels, no PVR to binge watch later, no internet to spoil anything. Just a handful of options and a roll of the dice.
CBS would continue to dominate Sunday nights well into the new millennium, thanks to "60 Minutes," "Touched By An Angel," "The CBS Sunday Night Movie," and, of course, the immortal "Murder, She Wrote."
This was so great to see these shows again! I'm from Texas and Dallas was so popular back then that we had a bar called Dallas and another called J.R.s
There appears to be some confusion in the sources I came across for the season 4 theme. Ultimately, I decided to include both versions with the first one supposedly having aired only once for the premiere episode of the '77-'78 season, then changed to the second version with its different set of introductory pics of Rhoda and a theme that added sax to it.
Of the two Rhoda themes, the first was the theme from the 1977-78 season (the show’s fourth). The second was from the 1978 fall season (the show’s fifth and last).
This time around: likely we were on CBS the whole night (unless ABC had a REALLY good movie). But there may have been some weeks when I'd rather have watched DISNEY than 60 MINUTES (I was 15).
You're very welcome, @@francescaa8331. Because of his iconic role as Dodge City Marshal Matt Dillon on the long-running (two decades, from '55 to '75) CBS western "Gunsmoke," Arness quickly discovered he was typecast in that particular genre...despite the moderate success of "How The West Was Won," Arness found himself in a rut and was unable to make the transition beyond westerns in order to pursue other roles. An attempt by Arness to play against type resulted in the short-lived "McClain's Law" (which I mentioned previously in my initial comment) in the autumn of 1981 proved unsuccessful; due to mediocre ratings, NBC yanked the urban crime drama after only one season and sixteen episodes.
Wow, I guess I didn't watch TV on Sunday nights during this era...I don't remember hardly any of these shows (except of course 60 Minutes, All in the Family, etc.).
I noticed your newest video (December 25/19 has comments disabled, along with view count, "watch later" feature, and I assume everything else. UA-cam is doing this (in a scattershot, inconsistent way) with videos marked as "made for kids". This makes no sense, as this ISN'T kids' material. I love your channel and don't know why UA-cam would do this to you. It's bizarre. Some of mine have also been changed by UA-cam to "for kids", but they have SOME semblance of kids' content, though none of them were specifically made for kids. What a confusing time for UA-camrs. I hope this doesn't affect you in the future.
Thanks for letting me know. I'm going to have to fix that. Yeah, the whole "for kids" explanation YT provides is too confusing to figure out because I don't think they even have it figured out themselves. Anyway, thanks again, and I'll see if I can try to fix that bug in that video. Also, been meaning to put up more videos more frequently, but real life seems to get in the way of doing fluffy things sometimes. Stay tuned, though, more will be coming at some point.
@Marcus Montgomery's Logo Archive Thanks for your interest. Yes, I know it's been a while since I uploaded a video. Had hoped to resume earlier but life stuff has still been getting in the way paired with having less free time seeking out new rare TV intros, especially between the 50s and 80s, which seem harder to come by now, while those of the 90s and beyond tend to pose more than their fair share of copyright fighting migraines with UA-cam,. It's finding the rare intros that help make lineups interesting, I find. I still plan to get back to it, but it's just having the mindset, time and intros to do it, and I still can't say when that'll happen. In the meantime, there are already over 225 videos I've got up already, in case you haven't seen them all.
@Marcus Montgomery's Logo Archive At the time I uploaded the last vid back in December, YT had already instituted its dumb kids policy, but explained the change was incomplete as it came with some possible bugs that eventually would be corrected. One of those bugs was the inability to switch the setting on my settings page from kids to adults after I had uploaded it under kids, due to their unclear instructions - who would've thought TV intros would have to fall under adults for the comments page to function?. I tried to make the switch, it didn't work, so I sent them feedback about it which, of course, they had no time to reply to. A couple of months ago I thought I'd try to make the switch again through my settings page, figuring they would've had it fixed by then. But nope, still stuck under kids. So I'm thinking I might re-upload that one at some point and make sure it's set to adult beforehand just to free up the comments page. So stay tuned.
RwDt09, I only just started watching your videos of old TV shows that I remember as a kid, and your videos are just wonderful nostalgia a real trip down memory lane, thank you very much. Can you help regarding your video about 1960's Spy shows can you tell the the name of the spy show that was a bit sci-fi for the time. It featured an agent that had a very small CCTV secret camera on his necklace which he could also attach to his finger ring. Now whatever he did he was watched by a science team of specialists on a big TV screen at a secret base where they could help him and give him instructions with his secret hearing device anywhere he was in the world to do the missions he was sent on, also if memory serves the specialist team could monitor his bodies health and help him remotely should he get any injuries on a mission. I can't for the life of me remember the title of the show but it was US TV spy show, can you help or even show the opening titles on a video please.
Was Jack Webb. He didn't have an onscreen credit but his production company was likely behind it. If you check out the openings for some of his other shows--ADAM-12 and EMERGENCY come to mind (don't know if I've seen DRAGNET here)--it's very similar.

@@karenford9797 ok, thanks. I was 6 in 1978 and all I remember is being pissed that my favorite show was replaced by Battlestar Galactica. In September, of course.
1978....what a year. Our childhoods gone like that wonderful summer breeze that we long for.

I love the theme from Alice, one of my all time favorites !! "Kiss my grits" 😜
Lori Miller And Linda Lavin (Alice) herself sang the theme song!

Ikr. I was only a newborn baby at that time
@@alfonsogreen2722I was 12 lol.
Valerie Harper just died at 80. Sad. I loved Rhoda a lot.
What gen xer didn't?!
What a "Blast From The Past!""😁😍😁😍
This was so great to see these shows again! I'm from Texas and Dallas was so popular back then that we had a bar called Dallas and another called J.R.s
I find it wild that this was airing the month and year I was born. My mother could have been home in time to watch these shows.
Man, I miss my mom.
I am sorry for your loss.
I miss my mom too. Condolences to you.
Your videos always bring back great memories 👍
You put Rhoda in twice. And it's ok because it's a tribute to Valerie Harper. I get it. I love watching these.

The Theme From "Dallas" Was One Of The Best Theme Instrumentals That Made That Show Besides Larry Hagman!
Thanks for these videos! I didn't live through this decade, but my parents did and we both watch them together
Another wonderful trip down memory lane! Thanks for sharing, RWdt09!
CBS in a Landslide! My God!
Like always....Thank you for putting this together.
*yawn* “How The West Was Won” is the perfect argument why opening credits are now shorter.
Yet still is pretty scenery. R I P David Dukes
Oh! Project UFO! I used to watch that every Sunday! Had trouble sleeping afterwards, but it was worth it.
I HARDLY EVER MISSED ALL IN THE FAMILY.
The ABC Sunday Night Movie often featured a James Bond movie. It was such a big even to see James Bond on TV before the VCR made it easy.
Gee, our old LaSalle ran great!
This time around: likely we were on CBS the whole night (unless ABC had a REALLY good movie). But there may have been some weeks when I'd rather have watched DISNEY than 60 MINUTES (I was 15).
I don't remember all of this, but most of it. Nice to see that James Arness got another western after gunsmoke was cancelled.
Arness resurfaced a couple of years later on the short-lived crime drama "McClain's Law," which aired on NBC during the 1981-82 season, Francesca.
@@demetriusdillard2863thanks for the update. When I was little, Arness was synonymous with Gunsmoke and westerns.

The Macahans and Dallas. Great stuff!

Hands down CBS.
RIP Valerie Harper.
Yes yes. I found this RHODA opening bizarre, but I adored that show.
Linda purl played Fonzie's serious girlfriend post Richie years.
When Fonzie was inexplicably a college professor? 🤣
Louis Riel in an american tv show. Nice.
You mean the 60 minutes opening is over 40 years old???
It's 51 years old now
I believe the first airing of the opening was the second episode
@@shawnn1412 I have to see if I can find the opening of the first episode
As a kid, Sunday prime time TV schedule was booooooring😆
Guess you wasn't a fan of Project UFO. 🛸

HOW THE WEST WAS WON HAD AN OUTSTANDING CAST.
Rhoda never missed All in the Family, Alice watched every episode for 9 seasons Dallas of course
The project UFO narrator sounds familiar

Just the facts, sir
lol i just watch the be ging that,s when you had to get up and changle channell

Two Rhoda themes in the same season?

Wow the themes from Alice and Rhoda really were updated from their first season. Meh

Six Million Dollar Man off the air then on ABC?
It had moved to Monday nights in January of 1978.
