    It's so nice that there are people out there who remember what I remember! Whether we were rich kids or poor kids, I think our childhoods were the best. BTW - I think the Flintstones were at first targeted to an adult audience. I do remember the cigarette ads for the Flintstones. (Understandably, a big no-no today!) I loved hearing the theme songs for the westerns I was not old enough to understand or stay up to watch. I used to hear what Mom and Dad were watching through the heat vent in the floor of the kids' upstairs bedroom. TV back then (even the commercials!), whether I watched it or could only hear it from upstairs, was a cozy experience for me. Anyhow, thanks, man!

      Couldn't you save "The Life of Riley" TV programs IN THE 1960S? The beginning, Riley was falling out of his hammock, every week! His wife Peg, son Junior, and neighbor (Sterling Hollowly) were always trying to drive him crazy! As a little kid I used to laugh at it so hard, then Bendix died and it was suddenly off the air - another program took its place, no reruns, nothing.

    At 11:31 I remember this episode of GE True when I was a child . The policeman was by himself no radio . The policeman held a gun on a gang of criminals for so many hours with the people refusing to call for other police . The narration repeated the comparative weight of the policeman's gun as the hours drome by until someone finally called for help. I recalled it was a woman . One of the outlaw gang fell out on that hot summer day. i guess that was the beginning of two policeman in a car . i did not know Mr. Star Trek co wrote this story. It really stuck with me . GE True was a successor to The GE Theater which was first of many CBS Sunday shows which bit the dust opposite NBCs Bonanza .

    This was television at its peak! At 37:37 starts two of my fondest tv memories on Sunday nights: "Candid Camera" and "What's My Line?" The 1959-60 season was the final year for Robert Young and others in his "Father Knows Best" (1954-60) series. So, it barely makes Fred's list of 1960-63 shows. 1960 was also the last year for the memorable kid's show, "Howdy Doody" (Dec. 1947-Sep. 1960) in its 13-year run. I loved watching that show, at the time it was on Saturday mornings only, from its original Tue-Thu-Sat. and then M-F afternoon showings. At 40:35 is "Password" one of my favorite tv game shows.

    I wonder what happened to Gina Gillespie? I liked her in Thriller and she was also good in Whatever Happened To Baby Jane. She was also a younger sister of Darlene Gillespie from Mickey Mouse Club.I read somewhere they used real students and a real school on Mr Novak,Bonanza killed The Judy Garland Show Disembodied heads (Sid Caesar) would have scared the CRAP out of me as a small child, because The Monkees used to scare me when they done that.

      She played Blanche as a child at the very first of the movie. If you've never seen the movie, it's about two sisters . The older sister , Blanche is in a wheelchair and the younger sister Jane is crazy. She was a former vaudeville child star and her signature song was "I've Written A Letter To Daddy and when her older sister Blanche grew up, she became a beloved movie star that got into an accident in the heyday of her career that put her in the wheelchair. Jane tried to become a movie star also, but she wasn't as talented as Blanche an she became jealous of her sister's fame.

    • @actionsub

      Nielsen really didn't become a comic actor until "Airplane!" in 1980. Prior to that, he'd long been typecast due to his voice and appearance as either an authority figure or a villain. The producers of "Airplane!" cast him, as well as other actors like Robert Stack and Peter Graves, in order to use that typecasting for effect, having them behave purely deadpan while delivering silly puns and reacting to the nonsense going on around them.
      Nielsen jumped at the chance to break out of the dramatic mold, having wanted to do comedy for a long time. His work in "Airplane!" gained so much attention that the producers cast him in his now-signature role of Frank Drebin in the "Naked Gun/Police Squad" franchise.

    Fred, you ended the great 1 hour in the worst way (should have ended at 59:25), as it was reported, but not recognized then as the sad turning point in America's fabulous ascension and peak, to the decline we suffer from since that awful Friday afternoon in late Nov. 1963. I wish you hadn't added that 30+ sec. My avatar shows how I like to remember him best in his outstanding press conferences, frequently laced with his wit and humor we have not enjoyed again.

    • @FredFlix
      @FredFlix  4 роки тому +1

      I'm a Kennedy fan and I agree with you, freeguy, that America began spiraling downward the day he was killed. Nevertheless, I think the ending is appropriate. In fact, it can end no other way.

    • @freeguy77
      @freeguy77 4 роки тому +1

      @@FredFlix I think the ending should not have been shown at all. It wasn't necessary, as t ruined the previous 59 minutes of innocent fun and entertainment we had in our youthful years. Just because we know the Big Event (LBJs term for it with his idea on doing it, with his allies eager in carrying out the coup d'etat), doesn't mean we have to see that awful report again, after seeing it numerous times. Why didn't you add a toy promo (ex, "Rock ''em, Sock 'em Robots") or cartoon for Christmas 1963, because that was the real end of the year, not that day in November a month earlier? That was the real ending, Dec. 25-31. It wasn't the best Christmas ever (the worst I ever lived in), but it was better than Thanksgiving, the Thursday (Nov. 28) after. Sorry, I still feel you made a mistake in adding that last 30 sec., when it just as easily could have been omitted, leaving us with good feelings on that best of times, instead of reliving that horror again. I believe it ruined the whole video you meticulously had to work on, in a fine synopsis of those years. I don't know if others will agree with me or not. My personal opinion. That bombshell addition does not make me eager to see the video again. A real belly drop, in Col. Henry Blake's ("M*A*S*H") famous words.

      The show began in b&w. Very few color TVs in 1960. I'm not sure what year they started doing it in color. When it was sold to syndication the early episodes were colorized. Likewise the theme song "Meet the Flintstones" which began being used during Season 3 was added on to the first two seasons.

    • @christopherdunne7848
      @christopherdunne7848 5 років тому +1

      No, all Flintstones eps were *filmed* (produced) in color. However, ABC didn't have color facilities until 1962, the start of Season 3. Hanna & Barbera were banking on the rerun value well beyond the 1960-66 run, and they were so right. The "Meet the Flintstones" theme started in Season 3, but because the original theme/animation was in black & white, "Meet" was tacked onto the syndicated Seasons 1 & 2 episodes. And it was horribly edited, which is a long story for another day!

    Also, the "Catholic Sitcom" Going My Way had 2 actors who would make names for themselves in better shows: Dick York in Bewitched & Leo G. Carroll in The Man From UNCLE.
    Thriller was one of the better suspense shows back then. Also, GE's TRUE was a reality show that didn't insult your intelligence.
