    Ah!, seven years old, coming off my third full summer living on Alta Dr. in Las Vegas, with the desert as my backyard (literally). How content we were, without electronic devices at our fingertips like today. Ran all summer in the desert (hunting lizards), playing baseball behind the shopping center- using the oversized walls of the backside of the Charleston Heights Sopping Center as our 'Big Green Monster'. No shirt, and many times no shoes, tan as the dickens, and happy as hell.

      Healthier life than being attached to the Internet/Computer like so many children/teenagers these days; I grew up in our back garden with nature and fresh air and/or went on our bikes to visit the ponies in a field, Chris and I, and didn't come in until 8pm in the Summertime (in Lancashire).

    I remember the Jackie Gleason show - first in NYC and then in Miami Beach. Came on every Sunday evening, and we kids raced home from sandlot baseball or whatever to catch his show. Frank Fontaine had a mellow baritone, (I remember a cozy rendition of "Easter Parade" on an episode that aired the Sunday before Easter) and he played "Crazy Guggenheim" with a different voice - sort of like the slow-witted Pete the Puma on a Bugs Bunny cartoon.

    I was 9 at this time with my mom and dad watching shows. Interesting seeing so many tv shows I never saw. Favorites from these shows for us were Jetsons, Beverly Hillbillies, The Lucy show, and Mc Hales Navy. I do not remember watching Combat but years later seeing it in reruns now realize it was really well done.

    LOVE THIS ONE! Sometimes I wonder if certain shows were just part of my imagination, but you have:
    Ensign O'Toole.
    McKeever and the Colonel.
    I'm Dickens, He's Fenster.
    Going My Way.
    Stump the Stars.
    And of course, the Beverly Hillbillies, the Jetsons and Mchale's Navy! I had mumps early that school year, and a persistent case of tonsillitis that was too bad for school and a tonsillectomy, but not too bad for TV. Most of Kindergarten was spent on the sofa.

    I happen to know that the Beverly Hillbillies opening presented here is NOT from 1962. It's from a much later season as it has Irene Ryan's credit in as big a font as Buddy Ebson's AND Raymond Bailey and Nancy Kulp are in it. Neither of those things happened until later seasons, in color. This whole court is out of order!

      Ralston - Purina was a merger of two companies with one thing in common: Grains and Cereals that were processed for food. Purina made grain based 'Chow' (Cat Chow / Dog Chow / Rabbit Chow / Horse Chow / Etc.) for animals and Ralston made Grain and Cereal products for people (CHEX and other Cereals), the merger was good for both companies as it gave them greater buying power and helped them stay competitive in the market.

      What wasn't widely known then was the television had to be precisely calibrated to get a consistent color picture. Most stores at the time either didn't know or didn't care, as a result the set for sale would have a ghastly image. So many shoppers came back from a store thinking color hadn't been perfected yet. By the seventies sets were pretty much self calibrating.

    The world envisioned by the Jetsons seemed possible at the time.Then,the government kept growing,diverting precious resources away from productive enterprises to unproductive people and their causes.

      Right - like limitless funds for the military, subsidies for the fossil fuel industry, bought-and-paid-for legislation benefitting corporations and financial institutions, and tax breaks for the shiftless, mooching wealthy.

      Richard Lawson the Hayes code once insisted a prison drama remove a toilet prop from a cell. I guess prisoners never had a need for one even if locked in a cell for the majority of 24 hours a day.

    I was born during the timeframe of the shows in this video...some of them were still on their original runs when I became aware of TV around '65 or '66. The only one I really remember was THE VIRGINIAN--my mother was really into Westerns (then again, so were a lot of other people in that era. But at least we'd gotten past the point where every other show on TV was a Western, as was the case in the mid-to-late 50s)

    Rod McGlarney played Slarney on the original Broncoteers, but the series wasn't picked up. The Studio decided to try to make Slabby Stairswell a star instead , but rumors of heterosexuality killed his career later that week. Ditto I Married A Red. In 1955 Joan Armicladge played a version of Veronica Topweed, but in 1962, the retooled Red Mommie starred Sally Jo Wishfish, a known. Ah, telebision.

    • @StillLivingInMomsBasement
      @StillLivingInMomsBasement 7 років тому +3

      Quite right Andrew. The war shows of 1962 had ZERO to do with Vietnam and EVERYTHING to do with World War II. Vietnam was barely a part of American awareness in the autumn of '62. Only in '64-65 did a lot of Americans start thinking about Vietnam, and only in '66-'67 did people start worrying about it.

    • @aaaht3810
      @aaaht3810 6 років тому +1

      I have to agree with Andrew and B.Frost. I was about to turn 13 in the fall of 1962. Vietnam was not on the radar as far as TV and conversation. Only later did TV series attempt to bring VN into their scripts. I think the first I really remember was Julia, starring Diahann Carroll. She played a widow whose husband was killed in VN. That premiered in 1968. Then of course the Smothers Brothers and shows like Laugh In started talking about the war. In 1962, when people talked about "the war" it was almost certainly WWII they were talking about.
