- Correction: I list Barnaby Jones as starting in 1971, but it was 1973.
Video 28 of December's 31 Days of the Best and Worst of FredFlix.
You've NOT Seen Nothing Like The Mighty QUINN!
Man growing up hearing some of there intros I knew it was time to go to bed😆
You said it!!! LOL!
Great stuff
I still remember watching the FBI on Sunday nights with my parents, I always had a sick feeling in my stomach while watching because I knew tomorrow meant the dread of school.
Me too. As soon as the FBI ended, it was bed time.
@@FredFlix exactly 😩
@@32ndBrother , ha me too.
Count me in that group, too. Blah!!! School tomorrow....Blah!!! In our spare play time we used to play...FBI. Very popular show in our neighborhood.
TRUE,WONDERFUL WORLD OF COLOR SET THAT REMINDER TOO.
We got many of these in UK, I remember most of them, They were always great!
Hello...Yes you can can still watch them nowadays on channels like CBS Justice & CBS Drama, It's amazing how many faces you recognise before they became famous
This is one of the Best of FredFlix. I don't remember Banyon, so we probably never watched it. I was living in San Francisco in 1975. I loved it there. Today, I'm glad I am 2483 miles away from it. Ten years later, I was living in Summerville, S.C. Small world, ay?
Just a stone's throw way from me, Janet.
QM - one of the TV greats
God bless for Quinn Martin for giving us such great television!!
He was the best gave us so many great shows in the 1960s and 70s thanks Mr Martin. R.I.P.
Great presentation. QM was a genius
I miss the days where actors and people in general were more valued in their thirties forties and fifties as opposed to the youth obsessed culture now! There are so many things that were good as they were. I guess alot of people feel that way!
A beautiful tribute to a man and to an excellent television. 📺🤟💜
4:15// that small pack of smokes has to be the smallest qty of smokes in one pack. maybe 10 or 12 total. thanks for the upload. stay safe during the remainder of the Purge
Never saw one episode of The New Breed - never heard of it until now!
Now these were real Tv shows , not the garbage like have today
Well done Fred....Another good one, Thanks
You're welcome, Tom.
I recently commented to a friend that you couldn't turn the TV on in the 60s or 70s without seeing that Quinn Martin logo. Television just hasn't been the same since then.
Nice Compilation FF. I still record The Invaders every Sat. on METV...
They sure put it on late these days, Princess.
The shame about the Invaders is that the series never had a proper ending. It just stopped.
@@gregggoss2210 Only the Fugitive got that proper ending in the '60s.
@@FredFlix, what a crime. I noticed that The Land of The Giants had the same problem, no ending. By the way Fred, on a totally unrelated subject, I found some childhood gold today while cleaning up at home. Found the my Wacky Packs, my Odd Rods,and my toy Seaview submarine. It's like Christmas all over again.!
@@gregggoss2210 I'm envious for that Seaview toy, Gregg.
William Conrad did The introduction and narrative for the Fugitive at the beginning of the series.
He was also the main narrator for the Rocky and Bullwinkle show! 😎
He also starred on " Cannon" for QM and CBS from 1971-'76. Which was QM's first series for CBS.
I even remember The Mephisto Waltz...man ...old I tells ya😞
All great series with a production level that was top notch!
The FBI, Barnaby Jones, Cannon, The Streets of San Francisco, were my favorites.
With the exception of a couple of shows, my family watched all the rest of the productions, so there was a lot to watch back in the day
Thank you, Fred Flix. Excellent content. Your time in assembly of this vid is very much appreciated. I will say...they don't make TV programs like that anymore. The production costs now, would be astronomical. 😊
Thanks for your appreciation, HGOML.
Great job as always, Fred. Thank you! 🤗💖
You're welcome, Lilly.
Fred! You rock! Hope you had a great holiday. Thanks for all the fun content. ❤️❄️⛄️❤️
You're quite welcome, ND.
I Loved how the Police Squad shows would parody the QM openings
And also spoofing M-Squad.
The theme songs 🎵 of m,y childhood. Well done and appreciated!
Thanks, Jean.
What a great retrospective. It would have been fun to include an intro to Police Squad! BTW, I didn’t realize that Leslie Nielsen actually starred in a real QM show.
Well spotted on both points!
"viccorrell224," The older generation who only saw him throughout the 1960s in dramatic, starring roles in series such as "The New Breed" [cop], "Peyton Place" [running guest star as twins, one an M.D. the other a business tycoon], "Bracken's World" [head of a film and television studio] and "The Bold Ones" 'The Protectors' segments [back to playing a cop only this time with an African-American partner, Hari Rhodes, which was 'cutting edge' in 1969] were the ones who had to make the big leap to seeing Nielsen doing silly in the zany Zucker brothers' half-hour, "Police Squad."
I ADORED The Invaders as a child.
Took me a while to get to this video Fred, but I made it. It's interesting that there was that audio clip of Joey Bishop interviewing David Janssen in 1967 just before the final Fugitive episode aired. Also extremely eerie that Bishop quipped that Janssen would be dead in 12 years; he wasn't off the mark by much because David Janssen actually died in early 1980.
That's spooky, Ernest.
I used to watch most of these. Good stuff. On a related note, as an architect, maybe I should complain how architects were represented in TV and movies. One talked to a horse, one chased little green men and another was a vigilante. (death wish) Oh and one had 6 kids (Brady Bunch) 😁😁
Me & my father both watched The FBI when it was on TV. Years later, I watched The Invaders, The Untouchables, The Fugitive & now I started watching 12 O'Clock High.
Thanks for the memories, FredFlix. 📺
Sure thing, Luis.
Saw a lot of these here in the netherlands sadly no reruns here, miss those dearly. Thnx Fred.
You're welcome, Rolf.
Thanks for clearing up for me the identity of Hank Simms as the announcer. Now I'm looking for the guy who did all the promos for Disney, both the movie trailers and the intro to TV's "Wonderful World of Disney/Color". His voice can also be heard in "The Barefoot Executive" announcing some of the fictitious TV shows within the movie.
Richard (Dick) Wesson. Not to be confused with actor Dick Wesson.
Great work, Freddy, pls keep it up!
Wow. A ton of actors in the QM shows were also Twilight Zone alumni.
Thank you so much for the retrospective on the QM series! I do have to point out that he also produced Caribe, starring Stacy Keach and Carl Franklin, that aired after S.W.A.T. on Monday nights in the spring of 1975. A trivia note in that it was filmed on location in the US Virgin Islands.
"karenford9797," "filmed on location in the U.S. Virgin Islands." THAT and other Caribbean islands was the plan. But the realities, including bad weather / hurricanes, acquiring shooting permits from the local government in a TIMELY MANNER, the endless transporting equipment, cast and crew then housing the personnel 86'd that for the most part, so they fell back on shooting mostly out of Miami. The network, ABC, didn't help when it rushed it for mid-season instead of the intended, traditional fall launch.
We also mustn't forget two other missing titles -- "Manhunter" starring Ken Howard as the 1930s bounty hunter and Robert Conrad's James-Bondish, "A Man Called Sloane."
Thank you, FredFlix.
Nice job! Thanks Fred
Thanks, Tom.
Everybody does remember that Hank Simms was the announcer for the Police Squad! TV series (short lived as it was).
FredFlix…a Quinn Martin production. Coming this fall to CBS 😂
I wish, Wayfarer.
So many QM productions
The Fugitive is Quinn Martin's greatest TV Show but I also love Barnaby Jones,Cannon & The Streets of San Francisco!
Untouchables?
Loved The Invaders, The Fugitive, FBI and Dan August.
Beautiful job, Fred! I've grown to enjoy a lot of the QM productions that I've seen on MeTV and H&I and other places. That DAN AUGUST cast & guest star list was particularly impressive to me.
I love how you structured your video like a QM production. Those interviews were neat to see, but they couldn't be done as we see them today. The Stack/Gordon interview would require a LOT more social distancing, and the Janssen call w/ Joey Bishop would never be done live before the whole country had seen the show due to social media.
The Fugitive ending was big stuff back then, Jon. I remember my parents letting me stay up to see it, even though I wasn't emotionally invested because I seldom saw the show. But I was excited to stay up!
@@FredFlix I imagine you had to see it in B&W, even though ABC broadcast it in color. ABC had all its primetime programs in color starting fall 1966, though people have commented that THE FUGITIVE, being a noir-type show, looked better in B&W.
@@jehobden We got a color set just in time!
Fantastic! I loved all the QM productions over the years. Thanks, Fred!👍🏻
You're welcome, Dave.
The Barnaby Jones clip you include here is actually copyrighted 1978 (shown in Roman Numerals on the clip), not 1971. Great retrospective on this prolific producer, I loved it!!!!
As always Fred. Thank You.
You're welcome, Dino.
A Quinn Martin production ruled tv cop and detective shows. Tonight's episode....lol
Great! Thank you!
You're welcome, 1LC.
You are on a roll Fred!!!!
The New Breed, television series from 1959 to 1964 was a pretty good show ...... Quinn Martin was a genius 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
"rafaelramirez1507," Check your dates: "The New Breed" was 1961 - 62.
It lasting just a single season -- with no hopes for syndication and extended exposure -- is why it's so obscure. If it HAD run a healthy five years, i.e., '59 - 64, Leslie would obviously have been a household name decades earlier.
QUALITY TELEVISION YOU CAN PUT YOUR NAME ON.THANKS FRED..
You're quite welcome, Eli.
My Mom had a thing for Robert Stack. It wasn't until some time later that RS looked like my Dad.
I guess I can call this the detective/pI /police era koljack, Barnaby Jones ,cannon ,Baretta Exetera , Oh yeah I can't forget about the women Angie Dickinson Police woman I know this is about Quinn Martin but I just had to throw it in there Most of these shows were during my preteen years
Now I'm wanting to watch some QM shows.
Louise Latham was in everything, she always seemed depressed or about to fall off the earth.......
"LRogersPhoto," similar to Joanne Linville although Joanne's guest shots tended to be a bit more glamorous. Both were wonderful.
When i was a kid I thought that Quinn Martin was a partnership ...two guys last names
The awesome Dick Wesson doing the voice over 🥰
In the era of clout chasing, it was refreshing to hear Roy Thinnes' reluctance to record a UFO sighting because he didn't want to be seen as a self promoting, attention seeking actor. Boy, have time's changed. Actors had more class then.
Wish The FBI could go back to these days when they were respected as an actual crime fighting organization.
Absolutely. Today the FBI is an arm of the Deep State cabal. They must be dismantled.
Under Hoover? No way.
Fred, thanks for including the "Streets" preview. Who's doing the voiceover? Doesn't sound like any of the QM or ABC guys.
Just finished watching the new Lost In Space and think Martin would approve.
Movie yes Netflix woke stuff no
@@macwyll isn’t woke shorthand for Black?
Irwin Allen produced Lost in Space,not Quinn Martin.
The FBI, TSOSF, Invaders, and Cannon were my favorite
Mr. Fred,
Did Dominic Fontieri (sic) do any of the theme songs for these gems??
Nelson Riddle did the theme from the Untouchables...
Dominic's incidental music for The Outer Limits was used extensively as the background music for the fourth season of The Fugitive.
Thx. Mr. Fred for the information, and keeping the truly great television shows alive!!!!
I F*&#@ING LOVE THIS!
wow
Buddy Ebsen will always be Jed Clampett.
QM = BAMF = IYKYK 😊
Let's not forget Cannon and the Streets of San Francisco.
Did you even watch the video?
Dave how about doing this for Stephen Cannell and Aaron Spelling?
Who's Dave?
Bad Sound.
It was bad TV. I sat crossed legged in front of a binary morality tale and even at 5 I knew it chose the messy haired oddball as the loser. Always. Sesame Street had more ambiguity with a cookie loving monster who admitted his faults. Please, QM was CRAP.
"DinoLondis," How sweet to see that in two YEARS no one in the mighty, friendly, appreciative UA-cam Universe 'tossed you a bone' and gave you a thumbs up. . . . And how sweet to see Quentin Tarantino's inventive, spot-on, respectful recreation of and tribut to Quinn Martin's nine-year sensation, "The FBI" [1964 - 1974], in "Once Upon a Time . . . in Hollywood."
Most parents and adult guardians are smart enough not to plop their five-year old in front of the TV when it's playing an adult drama. Their young minds not comprehending what's playing out in front of them, they'd be more inclined to follow along with the commercials.
For the few who might care they'll say they're happy for you that you're still getting so much out of your "Sesame Street" viewings. But sorry for you that your intellect never progressed beyond. Otherwise you never would have posted such a Comment on a channel raving about an esteemed, successful producer and his / her product.
