This make me want to cry. I can smell my Mothers pot roast or chicken one or the other and writing my name on a steamed kitchen window on very cold Nebraska winter Sunday.. Thanks .
OMG!!!! I gotta tell ya, you liked hit it on the head with your memories!!!! You would swear we grew up in the same home!!! That msg of yours surpised me so much, and yes, brought back some cherished memories of my own. Thank you so much for your msg. Thx and God bless.
Bluetichio, thank you for your msg. You would swear we grew up in the same home!!!! Your msg touched me, and helped me to think back to my cherished memories. It truly did. I cant get over at reading your msg, i was back my home on a sunday morning too!!!! I believe we had some great moms too!!! I know i surely had. Once again, thanks for your msg and God bless.
I was a little Jewish kid when I watched Davey and Goliath every Sunday morning. They really soft peddled the religion and brought to us a good family moral message for everyone.
When we were stationed in Omaha with the USAF, we went to the zoo a LOT. Mutual of Omaha has a learning center there and I always thought of Marlin Perkins. The Henry Doorly Zoo there is fabulous.
I was born in 1963, and I remember the College Bowl, though until watching this, I couldn't tell you the name of it. I just remember watching a student face-off, with two teams. Sunday mornings were a drag, because the only cartoon on (or so I thought, but apparently there were LOTS) was Rocky and Bullwinkle. I didn't understand the humor. Now as an adult, I watch it and it's hysterical. Who'd have thought Jack Nicholson was once young and handsome? I don't remember Wild Kingdom being on in the morning. I watched it in the evening.
I miss the better tv's shows during that time, I really miss watching Johnny Carson and sadly like him the stars that aren't with us anymore where there was entertainment instead of the garbage that is on nowadays.
@Harry Browneigh Can't think of a better way to kill the Sunday blues than watching a 5 ton elephant pulverize a watch and then hearing JCS say "Well....it worked in rehearsal!"
I loved Mutual of Omaha, but had to leave for church as soon as the Disney fireworks started. Every single Sunday! To this day, I've never seen a single episode.
It's great that you included all these cartoons but I remember being hard pressed to find any child-friendly programming TV most of the time. That's why Saturdays were so important.We also looked forward to school vacations,as they would run cartoon movies like " Man called Flintstone" and "Gay Purree"
Thank you so much Fred. I like having this in the background and in my tv. Makes me feel at home. I love the 50s-70s vibes. Love the doors and Beatles and stones and such. And Vietnam era. Just great culture. I’m a 90s baby but I appreciate and prefer these times. 50s-90s America was on top! And culture was amazing. I like to just picture we’re back in those times and not have anxiety about how dumb now a days people are & all the social media and stupid ridiculous stuff. Although I do appreciate our technology now a days at it advances very much. I do fear and worry how it’ll negatively affect further generations. Sorry for the rant. Just meant to say thank you for this Fred!!!!
@@FredFlix - this one is amazing me, because there is so much I had never seen despite seeing a lot of old stuff. Davey and Goliath, yes, of course, very big here in the Bible Belt on into the 1970s and 1980s. But that Gospel Jubilee thing? Whoa. And I had heard of College Bowl, but never seen any footage or intro. I am commenting just four minutes in, so we will see but there's something familiar pops up. I'd be interested to see if Oral Roberts will be in here. That stuff was freaky.
Fred I find myself binge watching your brilliantly edited content and pining for those not always better days but perhaps more gentle at times. Thanks friend
Those were the days when we used to play outside ALL DAY, riding our Schwinn bikes, playing baseball... red light green light... and my favorite game of all, King of the Hill!... until the street lights came on, then you had damn well better be home for dinner on time, or you would hear that all too familiar popping sound as Dad pulled his belt through the loops to teach you to be a bit more prompt, Those were good days, though ... looking back, we sure tried to be good to each other, we had "The Helping Hand" in the windows of all the neighbors that were willing to help kids out in an emergency; remember that? ... And, Mothers stayed home and were called "Home Makers" and they sure were too, by providing us with guidance and three good meals a day, home-cooked meals that is! ... making big juicy Yankee pot roast and other American delicacies. Just faded memories now.
Jeff, Add you were born and grew up in southwest Virginia and you would be me writing the exact memories or would that be me being you.... Stay safe and be well.

In my house, when I was a kid, the TV set was not on during Sunday morning. Early Sunday morning was devoted to getting dressed and prepared for going to Sunday Mass at 11:00. After Sunday Mass, my father and I would drop my mother off at home, and he and I would go to get the Sunday newspapers and various baked goods. Once we got home from doing that, I would then go into my bedroom and change my clothes. I would then join my family at the table for Sunday brunch. The rest of Sunday was spent watching sports on TV, or going out for a drive.
My God,,, I haven't seen some of this in decades! It reminds me of when I was a kid in the 60s and 70s when my parents and grandparents were still alive.
My favorite episode: Davey and his friend are camping out in his treehouse and a cougar shows up late at night. Davey's dad scares him off with a rifle.
I remember watching "Lamp Unto My Feet" and waiting for "Davey & Goliath" which was the only kid's show on local TV in the San Francisco Bay Area on Sunday mornings back in the Bonanza days. I was so relieved when they started showing some non-religious stuff. (except I guess the sports shows....I guess they showed those for dads who worked all week and had no effing intention of getting up and going to church on Sundays) "Dad gets to sleep in" was always a father's privilege.
Ah, yes...Davey and Goliath. Was always a Sunday morning favorite in our home. Wonderful World of Disney and Ed Sullivan rounded out our Sunday nights.
I know I watched a lot of TV when I was a kid, but WOW. So many musical themes. Triggered a lot of great memories, one right after the other. I wish I could just go back there and live there forever.
My oh my...... you sure covered so many good shows here.....to pick a favorite would be next to impossible.....you really can stir up the old brain waves.....Fred, these are the best ! A lot less stress, a lot more life. Thanks for the reflection. !!!! 🤤👍
@@CaliforniaGuy888 Oh yes, I remember Kathryn Kuhlman! "I believe in miracles, because I believe in God!". That was the tagline she began each show with. On KCOP-TV. Day of Discovery aired on KHJ-TV, and was taped at Cypress Gardens in Florida. Beautiful music and scenery.
my GOODNESS the memories a lot of these shows brought back!! Especially Davey and Goliath and This is the Life! Watched them all the time! Thanks Fred, fantastic job, you did it again!!!
Good stuff. Sundays did have a certain “feel” because of the eclectic programming. We loved “Insight” and the “CBS Children’s Film Festival” in our house. There was also some local dreck airing early afternoon in Philly
Big fan right here. I remember when Sonny Fox was replaced by Bob McAlister. Man was I bummed out! One of my neighborhood friends got on the show. I remember it was the show Walt Frazier from the Knicks was on.
@@dwightpowell6673 you must of been drooling with envy like I was! They have a new 1/2 hour version on TV that's hosted by a cousin of Donny Osmond. Not quite the same but at least their trying! Have a good day.
When they showed Bullwinkle in reruns on channel 2 SF in the morning, the ending music meant I was going to be late for school. I had to make it out the door before the ending music started. Lol.
That report by Walter Cronkite about the futuristic media setup was not quite what we expected by today's technological standpoint. Thanks for the memories.
Actually I was quite amazed how close it was. I cannot recall but in one of Fred’s brilliant compilations, either a commercial or news segment predicted the Internet
I just wanted to thank you FredFlix for all your wonderful work, I am of a certain age and really do not enjoy much of T.V. today, I can always take a few moments to turn on your you tube channel for a bit of fun from long ago!
Very good compilation, Mr. Flix👍!!! I'm 61, and remember most of these, as I didn't see then, some of the program's, showed. Loved Davey And Goliath, even though, I'm not Christian (I just loved the shot-for-shot, animation😉). The footage, of the band 'The Continentals' @18:49, is so hilariously dated. Terrible, as in comparison to today's music. By being so square-ish⬛, were they trying to fail, on purpose🤭⁉️
I was way too young here...my childhood watching T.V. days began 1970 in PA. By that time I only recall Davey & Goliath on early-EARLY Sunday mornings. Mutual of Omaha and The Wonderful World of Disney were on later on Sundays. A few of the other shows were aired in our area on Saturdays. P.S. 🎼"Thanks for the memories...!"🎵
JD Sumner and the Stamps famously sang backup for Elvis Presley on his concerts...and at one time JD Sumner had the Guinness record for the lowest bass note ever recorded on a recording of the hymn "Blessed Assurance"
I had just made a post about that but I hadn't seen yours yet. Elvis used to save his money and come to their all night Gospel Singing in Memphis. JD eventually made sure that Elvis got in even if he didn't have the money.
Wow! I am just (now) discovering all of your videos... Incredible! These videos all have to be _The_Best_ bar-none the “perfect” walk down memory lane for us BB’s. (Boomers) I know what it takes to share these, it’s not just “an upload” - I recognize the time you put in to sharing these. Thank You So Much.
Oh my gosh! I'd forgotten Gospel Jubilee. I don't remember anything about the show except the theme. I must have left the room when it came on. LOL I also remember a young Dolly Parton on the Porter Wagoner show. Growing up in Louisiana, we had a lot of fishing shows on weekend afternoons. Watching someone else fish is like watching paint dry. I think it was some kind of plot to get us to go outside and play. I also remember that stores closed at noon on Saturdays. So, if Mom made you go shopping with her, you missed the cartoons and there was nothing worth watching for the rest of the day. I love watching your channel. Brings back a lot of memories.
It was that way in my area too. I used to watch it with all of those foreign movies all dubbed in English. One of my favorites was a German film Heidi.
Skinny and Fatty was from Japan if I remember correctly. Must have seen that at least 5 times. My favorite film. Good quality movies from different countries.
WOW, talk about stirring up old memories. I remember having a crush on "Fran" the puppeteer of Kukla Fran & Ollie back then. And seeing here today, gave me goosebumps ! 😃 Thanks Fred !
For me when I was a child in the 1960s and a growing kid in the 1970s, Sunday night was the time for me to watch family programming. On the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation), it got started at 6pm with The Wonderful World Of Disney, followed by The Beachcombers and clapping along with tunes and laughing at sketches provided by The Irish Rovers. Rocky And Bullwinkle was the Sunday morning tradition.
I still have my Matty Mattel doll. It has a stuffed cloth body and hollow plastic head with a pull string. He used to talk when the string was pulled but he went silent decades ago. :)
hi fred yet another great and nicely done compilation of all these great sunday programs I remember watching as a kid. always loved ''wild kingdom'' and remember watching this with my father. of course the cartoons and gumby and poky were favorites. also remember a lot of the religious programs. thanks for all your effort in bringing all these memories back to us! rob
Ah! such memories. My Dad loved Jubilee - especially the LeFevrers (sp?). I loved Rocky and Bullwinkle (Sunday 9:00 am) and often took their sarcastic/sardonic tone into my Sunday School classes - which did not go over well for little smart-ass me.
I really love your video style. My favorite segment you do are the day in the life series. Even though I was born in 81, a lot of your experiences mirror mine, except a few years earlier. Plus a lot of the cartoons and some shows you watched, I watched too. Keep up the good work.
In Canada, we had fine quality daytime weekend fare like “The Red Fisher Show” and “Littlest Hobo”. My grandparents had a TV antenna that allowed them to pick up KCND from Pembina, ND. That station ran many of the shows in this montage including those great Beatle cartoons.
The Littlest Hobo ruled!! I thought it was way better than Lassie and I always tuned in to watch London's latest adventure despite a very early Saturday morning timeslot (5 or 6am) on CTV. IIRC, it was filmed in various suburban Toronto locations(Newmarket, Uxbridge, Claireville)
In Chicago, we didn't get Bozo on Sunday until the 1980s. Bozo's Circus ran M-F at lunchtime, and a lot of kids went home for lunch. If my siblings and I were fortunate, on Sundays we got Gumby, Jot (a Baptist cartoon), Davey & Goliath; and a program called the Magic Door, sponsored by the Chicago Board of Rabbis. After that ecumenical two hours, it was off to walk to church for Mass. In the afternoon, Frasier Thomas was our host for Family Classics, an award-winning family movie.
Who couldn't forget? WGN-9 was transmitted on cable and satellite throughout the Americas all the way to Venezuela and Colombia. We all get those programs in the '80s and '90s.
Family Classics was TCM before TCM. Frasier, the host would tell something unique about the movie and its stars, then show it. It was usually cut up to make room for commercials. Thinking back, it was probably the same 30 movies year after year, but it was the only way to see them, and they really were classics.
loriloristuff I remember that in DC back in the early 70s. Never saw it much except on occasional sick days or holidays- usually i was out of the house on way to school when it was on
Another one well done, Fred. I remember most of these. Gospel Singing Jubilee ran for a long time. It was still on about 1980. When I worked nights it would be on early mornings, after stations started running overnight. JD Sumner, Vestal Goodman, and perhaps some others on that intro were on a lot of the Gaither Homecoming videos. Sumner lived into the 2000s. I read on Wikipedia that he sang the lowest bass note ever recorded. I don't remember the show's title, but there was a Southern Gospel show made in Greenville and syndicated all over the US and into parts of Canada. My maternal aunt and uncle near Brevard, who were like my grandparents, would often be watching that show on the Greenville station when we came to visit on Sunday mornings.
Very good compilation. My memories are more from the 70's, though. From that era, I remember "Make a Wish" on ABC, and, during the summer, Marshall Ephron's "Illustrated & Painless Sunday School" on CBS. I'm surprised you didn't include "Insight", but I understand it's been out of circulation for many years. (By the way, I remember the "Children's Film Festival" as a Saturday afternoon program on CBS. Perhaps the slot changed in the 70's.)
My childhood was spent outside Vancouver, B.C. We didn't have cable so, our only American feed came from KVOS-TV, in Bellingham, Wa. It, however, Monday-Friday, 4-5 p.m., ran a block of old Warner Bros. & Popeye cartoons-and, Harveytoons. ("Baby Huey", etcetera.)It was a broadcast called, "Fun-O-Rama." Oh-and, my thoughts are with anyone who had to endure, "Rocket Robin Hood!" Another, excellent compilation; thank-you, Fred!
Thank you again Fred for another look back into my childhood from the 1960s some of those shows I almost forgot like the GE College Bowl the 21st century and shows like that Davey and Goliath and Gumby were part of the Rocketship 7 television show here in Buffalo on Sunday mornings for years until 1978 when it went off the air
As a young boy on Sundays I loved to watch westerns on our independent channel in Indianapolis. The dreaded words were, "We interrupt this regularly scheduled program for a Bobby Knight basketball special". Instead of John Wayne we were supposed to watch Bobby Knight teach us how to dribble, shoot baskets, and block the opposing team. I was so angry that my westerns were cancelled that I hate sports to this day.
I loved Casper when I was a child. I have no memories of the 1960's though, BTW did you know that Norma McMiilian, did the voices of Casper, Wendy, Little Audrey and Sweet Polly Purebred in cartoons? And she did the voice of Gumby and Davey on Davey and Goliath in the first season. She was Alison Arngrim''s (Nellie Olson) mother too. King Features have the same music on the Blondie movies too.I can remember Lamp Unto My Feet and I bet Insight was a very good program.So Off To See The Wizard was a farce to get kids to watch a movie? My sister and I loved watching Mutual Of Omaha's Wild Kingdom every Sunday afternoon before we went to evening church services. Then after church, it was home to watch The Wonderful World Of Disney, then Lassie.
Watching this video, I realized it's the first time I ever knew what Beany and Cecil actually *was* . I'd heard of it, but I had no idea of the content. A dragon? Ok then.
Wow I do remember Davey and Goliath. For some strange reason I watch that for many years. The American Sportsman with a favorite as well, you could go on vacation for an hour and it seems like you were really there. Nice job Fred excellently done! Bravo Zulu
I sometimes can't remember what I did last week, but I remember the tune to Discovery 68. That's 51 years since it was on. I also liked the Beatles cartoons and Gumby. I watched Davey and Goliath before church. That was the only time I was allowed to eat breakfast in front of the tv. Thank you for the great memories.
Another gem from your vast collection! Thank-you for so many great memories. Strangely though, as a kid in the early 60s I don't remember many cartoons on TV on a Sunday with the exception of Davey and Goliath and Gumby. What I remember is early afternoon movies on WPIX, such as Abbot and Costello, Blondie, Shirley Temple, etc., just to name a few. Is it just my imagination or did the people shown on your clips seem much more dignified and intelligent than our present generation, especially those in politics? One show that you omitted (I think it was on in the 60s) was ABC Wide World of Sports with "The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat". Anyway, thanks again and keep up the great work.
Been at least 50 yrs since I heard the Beanie and Cecil song, still remember most of the words hmmmm. I have a little blond dog in my lap named Sally, after Davey's little sister. I loved that show even though I knew I was learning something!
I love the Davey and Goliath cartoons. Basically anything from the 40's, 50's and 60's. Some 70's. Nothing beyond that. They need to put Davey and Goliath back on every Sunday afternoon. We all need to see and hear those lessons, kids and adults alike.
Absolutely agree! But, kids today would, more than likely, laugh it off as lame and outdated. Sad how the world, society culture and kids have been changed so drastically since the 60's. Social media, smart phones, and the Internet put the "final nails" in the proverbial "coffin" for decency, respect and empathy among the young and youngest...
Wow, one of my earliest childhood memories was Bennie and Cecil, and I remember trying to get of going to Sunday school to watch Bullwinkle. I really loved watching the CBS Children Film Festival, and the 21 Century theme song was too cool for its time. Thanks for the memories!!
Casper, Gumby, & Rocky & Bullwinkle were three of my Sunday mainstays. Daddy liked Wild Kingdom, so we watched that weekly too. Preschool pushover that I was, I used to cry when Casper scared people away because he was dead, & lamented over his inability to make friends with the living. Ha! Those ladies on the Jubilee music show needn't sing too loud, as their hairdos already reach halfway to heaven! The heavenly choir will certainly see, if not hear, them coming.
This make me want to cry. I can smell my Mothers pot roast or chicken one or the other and writing my name on a steamed kitchen window on very cold Nebraska winter Sunday.. Thanks .
blueticecho Same here. Those Nebraska winters could get so long but they were beautiful. And I really miss my mom’s cooking.
Exact same sentiment, except Minnesota....these videos make me feel...forlorn...or something.
a fellow Nebraskan and still am. yup, share your same thoughts.

Watching this made me relive the dread of having school on Monday morning.
Rocky and Bullwinkle
Came on every sunday morning at
10 am i sure do miss these times
And don't forget Super Chicken too.
You can watch them all again right now if you want, there's a Rocky and Bullwinkle UA-cam channel.
My 2 favorite Sunday animated cartoons and ones we were allowed to watch growing up were Davey & Goliath and Gumby.
I remember the Casper square dance, “come along now and join the party, come along now and have some fun.”🎶
I was a little Jewish kid when I watched Davey and Goliath every Sunday morning. They really soft peddled the religion and brought to us a good family moral message for everyone.
Hell, that doesn't seem bad at all. Good morality is laudatory whether you're religious or not.
It wouldn't be the weekend without Wild Kingdom! 🐯🐻🦌 Thank you Fred you animal you!
meow.
"...and while Jim wrestles that man-eating crocodile, I'll tell these friendly docile natives about the benefits of a policy from Mutual of Omaha!"
....and also Walt Disney every Sunday night! Ahhhhh, the good ol' days!
When we were stationed in Omaha with the USAF, we went to the zoo a LOT. Mutual of Omaha has a learning center there and I always thought of Marlin Perkins. The Henry Doorly Zoo there is fabulous.
Yeah that was the only show that my father and I would actually sit down and watch together.
Thankyou so much
These were lovely in our homes back then in simplicity ❤
You're welcome, LP.

NBC of all the original networks was the one that most abandoned its original logo
I miss the better tv's shows during that time, I really miss watching Johnny Carson and sadly like him the stars that aren't with us anymore where there was entertainment instead of the garbage that is on nowadays.
😪 we just had to roll with it, but at least we remember what “once touched” us.
I miss the Cock too.
not to forget, but THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF DISNEY was always right after mutual of omaha
When I was a kid those 2 shows back-to-back was the only thing to kill the Sunday night blues!
@Harry Browneigh Can't think of a better way to kill the Sunday blues than watching a 5 ton elephant pulverize a watch and then hearing JCS say "Well....it worked in rehearsal!"
Thanks for reminding me, of that schedule of programs, way back when.
Now a certain “empty feeling” has been stirred because today Is Sunday.
Yes this is true, I did watch both shows with my Family when I was little.
I loved Mutual of Omaha, but had to leave for church as soon as the Disney fireworks started. Every single Sunday! To this day, I've never seen a single episode.
It's great that you included all these cartoons but I remember being hard pressed to find any child-friendly programming TV most of the time.

My childhood Sundays were very similar. It's a shame things have changed, and not for the better.
The cardboard box from the bakery tied with string .
My God,,, I haven't seen some of this in decades! It reminds me of when I was a kid in the 60s and 70s when my parents and grandparents were still alive.
Ah yes, Davey and Goliath.
One of my favorites
Yes, I do remember them as well. I also recall Insight, Beatles and Wild Kingdom. I'm more of a kid from the '70s. 📺
"But Davey!!??.....
My favorite episode: Davey and his friend are camping out in his treehouse and a cougar shows up late at night. Davey's dad scares him off with a rifle.
I was hoping they'd have played their voices.
Wanted to hear Goliath say, 'Well, Davey...'.
I remember watching "Lamp Unto My Feet" and waiting for "Davey & Goliath" which was the only kid's show on local TV in the San Francisco Bay Area on Sunday mornings back in the Bonanza days. I was so relieved when they started showing some non-religious stuff. (except I guess the sports shows....I guess they showed those for dads who worked all week and had no effing intention of getting up and going to church on Sundays) "Dad gets to sleep in" was always a father's privilege.
i also was a kind in the 60's in SF bay area. Santa Rosa.
Ah, yes...Davey and Goliath. Was always a Sunday morning favorite in our home. Wonderful World of Disney and Ed Sullivan rounded out our Sunday nights.
Fred - Thanks for the all the work to provide your viewers with some information and pleasure by bringing back memories.
You're welcome, Ray. Happy to oblige.
Been a fan of your channel quite a long time now..you really take us all back. Thanks for sharing.
I know I watched a lot of TV when I was a kid, but WOW. So many musical themes. Triggered a lot of great memories, one right after the other. I wish I could just go back there and live there forever.
That was a fun trip down memory lane! Thank you.
You're welcome, Laura.
Davey and Goliath ran strong into the early 1980's on early Sunday mornings in New England...….
True also of northern Texas. A staple of my Gen X childhood.
Yup i was watching!
Loved that show..
Sunday isn't the Sabbath. Saturday is. Sunday is what's called the Lord's day.
Moral Orel was much better (accurate).
My oh my...... you sure covered so many good shows here.....to pick a favorite would be next to impossible.....you really can stir up the old brain waves.....Fred, these are the best ! A lot less stress, a lot more life.
Thanks for the reflection. !!!! 🤤👍
Glad you liked it, Byron.
You brought back Sunday tv memories! Great job! there was also a Sunday tv show with Kathryn Kuhlman. Your collection jogged my memories.
@@CaliforniaGuy888 Oh yes, I remember Kathryn Kuhlman! "I believe in miracles, because I believe in God!". That was the tagline she began each show with. On KCOP-TV. Day of Discovery aired on KHJ-TV, and was taped at Cypress Gardens in Florida. Beautiful music and scenery.
Thank you. It was wonderful being a kid again.
my GOODNESS the memories a lot of these shows brought back!! Especially Davey and Goliath and This is the Life! Watched them all the time! Thanks Fred, fantastic job, you did it again!!!
I appreciate that, Hank. Thanks again for watching a commenting.
Was the theme for Davey and Goliath really A Mighty Fortress??
Old Cronkite never could have guessed how spot on that segment would be with our 3d smart TVs and Netflix and all.
We had it made and never knew it.
First time I saw "The Red Balloon" was on The Children's Film Festival.
We saw that about twice a year in school, if not more.
When I saw that preview here on this video, my first thought was the Red Balloon. In fact it is the only one I can even remember.
Good stuff. Sundays did have a certain “feel” because of the eclectic programming. We loved “Insight” and the “CBS Children’s Film Festival” in our house. There was also some local dreck airing early afternoon in Philly
my dad loved american sportsman,,, we would watch on sunday afternoons,,,great times.... thanks
On the NY stations, we watched Wonderrama on Sunday morning. I remember it being a good show that showed the popular artists of the day.
Big fan right here. I remember when Sonny Fox was replaced by Bob McAlister. Man was I bummed out! One of my neighborhood friends got on the show. I remember it was the show Walt Frazier from the Knicks was on.
@@JOECANDELA22 One of my schoolmates...Tracey Ash was a contestant on Wonderama.
@@dwightpowell6673 you must of been drooling with envy like I was! They have a new 1/2 hour version on TV that's hosted by a cousin of Donny Osmond. Not quite the same but at least their trying! Have a good day.
Susan Gerwin, you’re the first person that I’ve heard that remembers Wonderama. None of my friends remember it.
I loved that song "Kids are people too" that Bob sang at the end of "Wonderama".
I'm surprised at how many of those shows I never watched. Thanks for a first, and last, look.
Closing credits of Bullwinkle , exploding lights and increasing tempo music used to scare the hell out of me as a child !
When they showed Bullwinkle in reruns on channel 2 SF in the morning, the ending music meant I was going to be late for school. I had to make it out the door before the ending music started. Lol.
😂😂😂
Gumby creeper me out!
That report by Walter Cronkite about the futuristic media setup was not quite what we expected by today's technological standpoint. Thanks for the memories.
he did live to see 2001
We kinda have it except it's way more compact.
really not that far off, considering when it was made and what they were projecting
The one thing they never seemed to predict was microelectronics.
Actually I was quite amazed how close it was. I cannot recall but in one of Fred’s brilliant compilations, either a commercial or news segment predicted the Internet
Anybody remember Dodo the Kid from Outer Space? I use to love that opening theme song.
I remember Bonanza coming on Sunday nights when I was really young.
I watched Bonanza every Sunday night.
I just wanted to thank you FredFlix for all your wonderful work, I am of a certain age and really do not enjoy much of T.V. today, I can always take a few moments to turn on your you tube channel for a bit of fun from long ago!
That's nice of you to say, Krista. I am of a certain age, too!
Death will come for us all soon enough.
Very good compilation, Mr. Flix👍!!! I'm 61, and remember most of these, as I didn't see then, some of the program's, showed. Loved Davey And Goliath, even though, I'm not Christian (I just loved the shot-for-shot, animation😉). The footage, of the band 'The Continentals' @18:49, is so hilariously dated. Terrible, as in comparison to today's music. By being so square-ish⬛, were they trying to fail, on purpose🤭⁉️
Just great! Thank you Fred for sharing the way back machine.
You're welcome, Father to goldador 1.
I was way too young here...my childhood watching T.V. days began 1970 in PA. By that time I only recall Davey & Goliath on early-EARLY Sunday mornings. Mutual of Omaha and The Wonderful World of Disney were on later on Sundays. A few of the other shows were aired in our area on Saturdays.
P.S. 🎼"Thanks for the memories...!"🎵
Those were the days. Thank you for the memories.
The Wonderful World Of Disney was on Sunday evenings as well.
I didn't cover evenings in this video, as it says in the subject header.
10-4...no problem...great work on your part!
Yes...I remember watching it on Sunday nights
I was thinking the same thing too!!
@@FredFlix I know, I know, but still it was a Sunday tv staple. 📺
JD Sumner and the Stamps famously sang backup for Elvis Presley on his concerts...and at one time JD Sumner had the Guinness record for the lowest bass note ever recorded on a recording of the hymn "Blessed Assurance"
I had just made a post about that but I hadn't seen yours yet. Elvis used to save his money and come to their all night Gospel Singing in Memphis. JD eventually made sure that Elvis got in even if he didn't have the money.
I got to see him and the stamps sing before he died...he had one of the most amazing bass voices I ever heard.
Wow! I am just (now) discovering all of your videos... Incredible! These videos all have to be _The_Best_ bar-none the “perfect” walk down memory lane for us BB’s. (Boomers) I know what it takes to share these, it’s not just “an upload” - I recognize the time you put in to sharing these. Thank You So Much.
We always watched Hour of Power with Rev Schuler from Crystal Cathedral in California. Still watch with his grandson Rev Bobby Schuler
Oh my gosh! I'd forgotten Gospel Jubilee. I don't remember anything about the show except the theme. I must have left the room when it came on. LOL I also remember a young Dolly Parton on the Porter Wagoner show. Growing up in Louisiana, we had a lot of fishing shows on weekend afternoons. Watching someone else fish is like watching paint dry. I think it was some kind of plot to get us to go outside and play. I also remember that stores closed at noon on Saturdays. So, if Mom made you go shopping with her, you missed the cartoons and there was nothing worth watching for the rest of the day. I love watching your channel. Brings back a lot of memories.
This brings back lots of memories of my childhood,thank you for all of these flashbacks!
You're welcome, Patricia.
Thank you so much Fred!!! These videos that you make are just wonderful and bring back so many precious memories.
You're welcome, Jenny Q. I'm happy to do it.
Wow, I've never had anything bring back so many childhood memories. Awesome thanks💫
Where I grew up The CBS Children's Film Festival Aired on Saturday Afternoons
Airsoftcleaner I too remember it being aired solely on Saturdays in Michigan in the 1970's
It was that way in my area too. I used to watch it with all of those foreign movies all dubbed in English. One of my favorites was a German film Heidi.
Skinny and Fatty
@@davek5027 I seen Skinny and Fatty on UA-cam. It was in black and white wasn't it?
Skinny and Fatty was from Japan if I remember correctly. Must have seen that at least 5 times. My favorite film. Good quality movies from different countries.
WOW, talk about stirring up old memories. I remember having a crush on "Fran" the puppeteer of Kukla Fran & Ollie back then. And seeing here today, gave me goosebumps ! 😃 Thanks Fred !
I swear the technical glitch in the Kuala, Fran and Ollie" made it sound like KluKluxKlan and Ollie. LOL!
For me when I was a child in the 1960s and a growing kid in the 1970s, Sunday night was the time for me to watch family programming. On the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation), it got started at 6pm with The Wonderful World Of Disney, followed by The Beachcombers and clapping along with tunes and laughing at sketches provided by The Irish Rovers. Rocky And Bullwinkle was the Sunday morning tradition.
I still have my Matty Mattel doll. It has a stuffed cloth body and hollow plastic head with a pull string. He used to talk when the string was pulled but he went silent decades ago. :)
Great job, Fred. Brings back many great memories of days gone by.
You're welcome, micthekwik.
Hi Fred, I just found your channel, I absolutely love it, it takes me back to my youth, thank you I have a lot of catching up to do.
hi fred yet another great and nicely done compilation of all these great sunday programs I remember watching as a kid. always loved ''wild kingdom'' and remember watching this with my father. of course the cartoons and gumby and poky were favorites. also remember a lot of the religious programs. thanks for all your effort in bringing all these memories back to us! rob
Ah! such memories. My Dad loved Jubilee - especially the LeFevrers (sp?). I loved Rocky and Bullwinkle (Sunday 9:00 am) and often took their sarcastic/sardonic tone into my Sunday School classes - which did not go over well for little smart-ass me.
I really love your video style. My favorite segment you do are the day in the life series. Even though I was born in 81, a lot of your experiences mirror mine, except a few years earlier. Plus a lot of the cartoons and some shows you watched, I watched too. Keep up the good work.
Nice of you to say, Nova.
Loved this compilation!
Love your videos! Love the art work on the INSIGHT intro.
Thanks, David.
In Canada, we had fine quality daytime weekend fare like “The Red Fisher Show” and “Littlest Hobo”. My grandparents had a TV antenna that allowed them to pick up KCND from Pembina, ND. That station ran many of the shows in this montage including those great Beatle cartoons.
The Littlest Hobo ruled!! I thought it was way better than Lassie and I always tuned in to watch London's latest adventure despite a very early Saturday morning timeslot (5 or 6am) on CTV. IIRC, it was filmed in various suburban Toronto locations(Newmarket, Uxbridge, Claireville)
The Beatles cartoon! I was so little I thought it was a cartoon of The Monkees
Once again Fred. A classic I find myself binge watching your content 😀
Outstanding. I remember a lot of these from the 70’s! Davey and Goliath brings tears to my eyes.
Thanks, tubularbill.
In Chicago, we didn't get Bozo on Sunday until the 1980s. Bozo's Circus ran M-F at lunchtime, and a lot of kids went home for lunch. If my siblings and I were fortunate, on Sundays we got Gumby, Jot (a Baptist cartoon), Davey & Goliath; and a program called the Magic Door, sponsored by the Chicago Board of Rabbis. After that ecumenical two hours, it was off to walk to church for Mass. In the afternoon, Frasier Thomas was our host for Family Classics, an award-winning family movie.
Who couldn't forget? WGN-9 was transmitted on cable and satellite throughout the Americas all the way to Venezuela and Colombia. We all get those programs in the '80s and '90s.
But I am talking about the 1960s. I had kids by the time 1980 rolled around.
Oh- Magic Door was produced at WBBM, not WGN.
Family Classics was TCM before TCM. Frasier, the host would tell something unique about the movie and its stars, then show it. It was usually cut up to make room for commercials. Thinking back, it was probably the same 30 movies year after year, but it was the only way to see them, and they really were classics.
loriloristuff I remember that in DC back in the early 70s. Never saw it much except on occasional sick days or holidays- usually i was out of the house on way to school when it was on
Thank you for making this great tribute! I loved gumby ,rocky and bullwinkle.
Another one well done, Fred. I remember most of these. Gospel Singing Jubilee ran for a long time. It was still on about 1980. When I worked nights it would be on early mornings, after stations started running overnight. JD Sumner, Vestal Goodman, and perhaps some others on that intro were on a lot of the Gaither Homecoming videos. Sumner lived into the 2000s. I read on Wikipedia that he sang the lowest bass note ever recorded.
I don't remember the show's title, but there was a Southern Gospel show made in Greenville and syndicated all over the US and into parts of Canada. My maternal aunt and uncle near Brevard, who were like my grandparents, would often be watching that show on the Greenville station when we came to visit on Sunday mornings.
Very good compilation. My memories are more from the 70's, though. From that era, I remember "Make a Wish" on ABC, and, during the summer, Marshall Ephron's "Illustrated & Painless Sunday School" on CBS. I'm surprised you didn't include "Insight", but I understand it's been out of circulation for many years. (By the way, I remember the "Children's Film Festival" as a Saturday afternoon program on CBS. Perhaps the slot changed in the 70's.)
You brought back memories of shows I watched with my sisters thanks-so much!!!!
My childhood was spent outside Vancouver, B.C. We didn't have cable so, our only American feed came from KVOS-TV, in Bellingham, Wa. It, however, Monday-Friday, 4-5 p.m., ran a block of old Warner Bros. & Popeye cartoons-and, Harveytoons. ("Baby Huey", etcetera.)It was a broadcast called, "Fun-O-Rama." Oh-and, my thoughts are with anyone who had to endure, "Rocket Robin Hood!" Another, excellent compilation; thank-you, Fred!
Thanks for your comment, Don.
Thank you again Fred for another look back into my childhood from the 1960s some of those shows I almost forgot like the GE College Bowl the 21st century and shows like that Davey and Goliath and Gumby were part of the Rocketship 7 television show here in Buffalo on Sunday mornings for years until 1978 when it went off the air
As a young boy on Sundays I loved to watch westerns on our independent channel in Indianapolis. The dreaded words were, "We interrupt this regularly scheduled program for a Bobby Knight basketball special". Instead of John Wayne we were supposed to watch Bobby Knight teach us how to dribble, shoot baskets, and block the opposing team. I was so angry that my westerns were cancelled that I hate sports to this day.
Any other Canadians remember the Forest Rangers? Loved that show. Thanks Fred.
You're welcome, Ian.
I could imagine the backlash if a show like American Sportsman aired today.
I loved Casper when I was a child. I have no memories of the 1960's though, BTW did you know that Norma McMiilian, did the voices of Casper, Wendy, Little Audrey and Sweet Polly Purebred in cartoons? And she did the voice of Gumby and Davey on Davey and Goliath in the first season. She was Alison Arngrim''s (Nellie Olson) mother too. King Features have the same music on the Blondie movies too.I can remember Lamp Unto My Feet and I bet Insight was a very good program.So Off To See The Wizard was a farce to get kids to watch a movie? My sister and I loved watching Mutual Of Omaha's Wild Kingdom every Sunday afternoon before we went to evening church services. Then after church, it was home to watch The Wonderful World Of Disney, then Lassie.
This one was a very good. Thank you for the lost memories !! And.... thank you for posting !!
I loved "Beany and Cecil." I had a Beany cap.
Likewise, and the comics.
Watching this video, I realized it's the first time I ever knew what Beany and Cecil actually *was* . I'd heard of it, but I had no idea of the content. A dragon? Ok then.
Bardolino Michele I had a stuffed Casio
@@tejaswoman Cecil was a sea serpent (who could be seasick).
Wow I do remember Davey and Goliath. For some strange reason I watch that for many years. The American Sportsman with a favorite as well, you could go on vacation for an hour and it seems like you were really there. Nice job Fred excellently done!
Bravo Zulu
Thanks again, Scott.
I sometimes can't remember what I did last week, but I remember the tune to Discovery 68. That's 51 years since it was on. I also liked the Beatles cartoons and Gumby. I watched Davey and Goliath before church. That was the only time I was allowed to eat breakfast in front of the tv. Thank you for the great memories.
I as well thank you for the opportunity to go down the path of my childhood
You're welcome, Mike.
Hi Fred, so many shows I've forgotten about. Thank-you so much. Stay safe
You're welcome, Debi. You as well.
omg! Watching The American Sportsman on ABC with my dad on Sundays. Wasn't expecting to see that and have a tear in my eye.
I did the same with my dad.
Another gem from your vast collection! Thank-you for so many great memories. Strangely though, as a kid in the early 60s I don't remember many cartoons on TV on a Sunday with the exception of Davey and Goliath and Gumby. What I remember is early afternoon movies on WPIX, such as Abbot and Costello, Blondie, Shirley Temple, etc., just to name a few. Is it just my imagination or did the people shown on your clips seem much more dignified and intelligent than our present generation, especially those in politics? One show that you omitted (I think it was on in the 60s) was ABC Wide World of Sports with "The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat". Anyway, thanks again and keep up the great work.
I left out Wide World because I think of that more as a Saturday show.
FredFlix It ran on both days depending on the events each weekend.
@@FredFlix I mentioned upthread that ABC developed the Sunday WWOS in 65, after losing the AFL to NBC in 65
Been at least 50 yrs since I heard the Beanie and Cecil song, still remember most of the words hmmmm. I have a little blond dog in my lap named Sally, after Davey's little sister. I loved that show even though I knew I was learning something!
My mom wore that Marge Simpson hair like those women on Gospel Singing Jubilee. We usually watched that before church every Sunday.
I remember watching The Wonderful World of Disney on Sunday night.
Many of these shows were also shown on Canadian TV on Sunday mornings.
Yep. And if the cloud cover was good enough in the winter, We kids in New England could pick up French Mr. Magoo.
@@laurabeane8862 I remember this in Canada as well, we are bilingual here but preferred English versions.
@@mrobillard7553 Is it true that if the weather was just right that northern Canada could pick up Soviet TV shows?
@@mikepatrick5909 I have no evidence or experience of such, but it would not surprise me!
@@mrobillard7553 Thanks for the reply...
I love the Davey and Goliath cartoons. Basically anything from the 40's, 50's and 60's. Some 70's. Nothing beyond that. They need to put Davey and Goliath back on every Sunday afternoon. We all need to see and hear those lessons, kids and adults alike.
Absolutely agree! But, kids today would, more than likely, laugh it off as lame and outdated. Sad how the world, society culture and kids have been changed so drastically since the 60's. Social media, smart phones, and the Internet put the "final nails" in the proverbial "coffin" for decency, respect and empathy among the young and youngest...
Wow, one of my earliest childhood memories was Bennie and Cecil, and I remember trying to get of going to Sunday school to watch Bullwinkle. I really loved watching the CBS Children Film Festival, and the 21 Century theme song was too cool for its time. Thanks for the memories!!
You're welcome, Russell.
Thanks Fred. Loved those shows, especially Wild Kingdom. Great job.
You're welcome, Mindy.
I had forgotten about Milton The Monster. I liked that as well as Gumby. Gumby always had cool toys. Thanks for more good memories Fred.
You're welcome, Gregg.
Fred, I think you knocked it out of the ball park with this one, but Milton The Monster premiere was on late Saturday mornings for the first season.
Casper, Gumby, & Rocky & Bullwinkle were three of my Sunday mainstays. Daddy liked Wild Kingdom, so we watched that weekly too. Preschool pushover that I was, I used to cry when Casper scared people away because he was dead, & lamented over his inability to make friends with the living. Ha! Those ladies on the Jubilee music show needn't sing too loud, as their hairdos already reach halfway to heaven! The heavenly choir will certainly see, if not hear, them coming.
DAVEY AND GOLIATH ❤ THE BEST FOR ALL CHILDREN TO WATCH
