This brought back really happy memories for me........... when times were simpler.
these where the best days!!! the government did not control people as they do today!! and ya know what's said!!! people let them!!! where is the freedom of choice!!!?
Tmes weren't simpler.. You were a child so you weren't paying attention to the Cold War, civil rights, or the Vietnam War. You didn't have to worry about your job or your mortgage or credit card debt.
Keep um coming I absolutely love watching these classic ads ☺
Will do, Trevor.
@@FredFlix At 9:46, they don't say how much this elaborate horse is. I saw it , in person, at a Newberry store in the 1960s. I decided that was a very high price, and still a kid then, even if we were rich I did not want it. It was $25.00 then.
Beany and Cecil!!! Now there's a memory that hasn't been awakened in about 60 years! Gawd I'm getting old.
Well, these commercials are so fun to see today! I still have my "Jumpin' DJ" game from 50 years ago,too. Thank you!
You're welcome, James.
Me too
I remember when cigarette commercials were still on Television.
Yes all us Baby Boomers remember the
cigarettes commercials
And all us smokers, and ex-smokers, wonder why we all are so reviled today. It was OK then.
In 1970, Congress took their anti-smoking initiative one step further and passed the Public Health Cigarette Smoking Act, banning the advertising of cigarettes on television and radio starting on January 2, 1971. 🚬 👀
Maybe the reason I don't remember the cigarette commercials was that they showed them after eight PM. My bedtime was eight PM back then.
Yep and they sponsored NASCAR
1961.....a great year......the year I was born!!!!! Great vid....thanks for allll your hard work Mr. Fred....I love it
Much appreciated, Liz.
Fred - awesome cavalcade of commercials from the early 1960's. I remember most of 'em. I always liked the Flintstones Winston commercials, still do. Makes me smile too, recalling Khigh Diegh's brainwashing dissertation in the 1962 movie "The Manchurian Candidate". "We've taken the liberty of making an interesting substitution for our guests' smoking materials - yak dung. Tastes good, like a cigarette should. Ha ha ha ha ha....". Thanks for a great return to the early 1960's Fred - always appreciated. You are the Time Machine we Baby Boomers so desperately need in this post-millennial era. :-)
Happy to fill that role, Bear Gunn.
I miss those days so much 😢
@@nikkiroeder5774 - Yeah, me too...
I'm almost 59 & I remember the Flinstone Winston ads. I smoked Winston & Winston 100's for years until some of the generics came out. The name brands just got too damned expensive! My favorite generic smokes were USA Gold Full Flavor.
I'm about the same age, and I can remember when they were 50 cents a pack.
@@jessrevill1852
Hey, Jess...
I'm 67. My dad, five packs a day, swore that when cigarettes hit 50 cents a pack, he was going to quit. He didn't. Stayed at 5 packs a day until he died on Saturday 08/03/91...from a brain aneurysm.
Hi@@jackmorgan8931,
Never heard of another person that smoked 5 packs a days. I knew of Old Barney a ships Captain, 'til in his early 90's, smoked 4 large or 5 small packs (100 cigs) a day. We called him a "one match a day fella", because he would just continuously light one cigarette from another, (though I found out his first smoke of the day, when ashore, was from his home gas stove. Heard he kept some wax coated strike anywhere Satan matches when asea by his bunk). Claimed he started smoking at about 12 years of age. Always wondered how it were even possible for ones lungs to function with so much old tar, ( no pun intended) built up. Sorry to hear about your dad Jack, he was a young man...mine too died young. He rarely dabbled with cig., pipe 'n cigar. More of a gum chewer.
Hey 🔴FredFlix, Lots of Us Were GUM Chewers back in the day, weren't we? Remember GRAPE flavoured stick gum, or purple THRILLS 5 cents a pack (that Moms said tasted like soap), or of course the black BlackCat bubble gum? Oops sorry, old man rambling. 🤣👋SEE'YA.
@@jessrevill1852,
I'm from Canada, but as a kid working in a gas station summers, cigarettes sold for 45 cents...more than for what a gallon of gas cost at the time. (I also happened to know that a "micky" or a "fifth" of whiskey was $2.65 and Wino's wine ("dollar five come alive") was only 90 cents.
@@jessrevill1852 I remember paying 24 cents a pack when I was around 13.
From 0:29-0:35 I like the predictive programming that I received from Fred Flintstone as to how to navigate the fast growing LA freeway system as an adult!
Now we know where all the bad drivers of L.A. and everywhere else come from!
Please keep these adds coming. I enjoy them so much. If I didnt have these memories I'd be lost. We had the life then. These days kids have nothing but video games for memory. We had the real things. T.y. 😊
So true, Frances.
Geeze, Fred. Leave it to you, pal, to open the floodgate of memories. I never smoked, but I always thought that the smokes and the commercials were too cool, grown up stuff, you know. Believe it or not, I still have Blaze, excellent condition, plus another than could be used for parts. Had the DJ game, talking pull string Cecil. At least we still have the memories, and you to bring them back to the surface. Thanks, Fred.
You're welcome, stendec. Always appreciate your input.
Don Adams was the voice of Tennessee Tuxedo.
And Corporal Agarn Larry Storch from F Troop was Mr. Whoopie.
@@raywhittington1368 And Bradley Bolke was the voice of Chumley.
However, Don didn't do the "FrostyO's" integrated commercials; Mort Marshall usually filled in for him while doing his "Baldy" voice.
@@Sunsetdrivein And he did a fine job of it! Even if he had no other "celebrity" fame that I know of.
And Inspector Gadget
LOL...i think i remember them all...thanx Fred !
You're welcome, Greg.
@@FredFlix i still want a Secret Sam ! my parents never got me one.😢
AWESOME you're still the man Fred 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽💯
Thanks, Janice.
Simpler days ..I miss them years.
"The fresh, clean smell of ammonia!" Back before disposable diapers, Mom had a baby pail which she would use for my brother's dirty nappies. Yeah. The fresh, clean smell of ammonia...
Smell I dont care to remember lol
Actually Ammonia cleaners left a fresh, clean smell AFTER the Ammonia evaporated and the Ammonia killed germs and broke down residues that caused many bad odors.
Good lord. I literally only saw some of this stuff once, fifty-odd years ago, and I still remember it...
Fred, you must of been reading my mind about cartoons. About 2 months ago I found 2 cartoon series that I haven't seen since I was a kid and I swear, I wouldn't have found them without the help of a few people. We sat there as little kids for around 2 hours trying to remember them. No computer help until we were getting close. The 2 cartoon series were Spunky and Tadpole and Space Angel. They even have them on CZcams!
As always Fred, great post ! Thank you. 👍👍
Don't even remember Spunky and Tadpole, J Polar.
@@FredFlix ..........Mind block maybe ??? Don't worry Fred, we all get that way 😉😉😉. Spunky and Tadpole was a cartoon series that ran in the early 60s in the NYC metropolitan area. I believe it was either on the Sandy Becker show OR Wonderama. And no DOT COM commercials on it either. 😉😉😉
@@jpolar394 we saw Spunky and Tadpole in the Philadelphia area back then, too - loved it! Thanks for the fond memory.
Today they might argue that they are programing future smokers of America on what to smoke or just smoke period. A lot probably started smoking as teenagers and are long dead from lung cancer.
So many of my favorites in here, Fred. Needed this on this dreary Monday. Thank you!
You're welcome, Lori.
Chatty Cathy doll on your list? That blue eyed avatar is just as cute!
Phineas J Whoopie awww, geez, thanks, Phineas!
@@fromthesidelines I remember! Now that you've described it! That was a very fun part of the cartoon shows. Jokes like that stimulated our young minds to thinking! The youngsters of today could sure use these as well.
HEY! I would have wanted one of those horses when I was a little girl. HELL Yeah! He moved his legs, whinnied and talked.
Those were simpler times toys by Mattel and the kids had fun with them. They certainly didn't complain they had fun & the kids were content. They certainly weren't asking for devices or cell phones they knew how to have fun. Cigarette commercials in those days TV commercials promoted smoking, because there you see Fred & Wilma Flintstone smoking there Winstons. But my favorite cigarette commercial was Marlboro. The sign of masculinity with the tough Marlboro Man. The slogan was " Come To Marlboro Country. " Fred , I hope that later on you show those commercials, because I always thought that the theme to those commercials were cool. I'm not certain but I think Duane Eddy did an instrumental version of the Marlboro song with his Twangy Guitar.
I've shown those ads from time to time.
Singer/actress Julie London did an excellent version of the Marlboro song.
Ah yes , the good ole days. Fingers in your ears will block the roar of a rocket takeoff. Thanx for the memories👌
You're welcome, JP 60.
I was a bit too young for this one, but hopefully you can continue this for the rest of the ‘60’s (❓).
You did an OUTSTANDING job in putting this together.
📻🙂
Thanks, Jeff.
Thanks again Fred. Famous saying, "Im coming Beany Boy" also I did not know Fred Flintstone smoked.
Rumor is he died of lung cancer in '91.
Fred Flintstone smoked a carton a day
@@FredFlixI may be wrong, back then smoking was not link to lung cancer. Thanks anyway Fred
@@midnightrunner684 now thats a lot of cigarettes, Fred Flintstone kept Winston in business.
End of Fred’s life was spent on an oxygen rock..
Does anyone out there remember VAVOOM a cave man cartoon character that could travel through anything even mountains, simply by yelling VAVOOM to blast his way through?
I do. :)
Yeah! He was on Felix, the Cat.
@Ken Lompart,
Thank-you so much. Watching that was a hoot.
Yes I do
@Ken Lompart Thanks a bunch, Ken! I'm a kid again!
That was great! By the time I came along tv commercials for cigs were banned! I love how blatant they were! Thank u fred!
One cig ad from the '50s quotes a doctor saying, "They're good for you."
Didn’t “doctors” recommend certain brands over others at one point in time?
@@xyrzmxyzptlk1186 Nope just camel.
Camel's claim, in magazine, radio and TV ads between 1946 and '50, was- "According to a recent nationwide survey: MORE DOCTORS SMOKE CAMELS THAN ANY OTHER CIGARETTE". What they DIDN'T tell you was that they PAID for those surveys over the years, and made sure all 113,597 {or so} doctors were sent FREE SAMPLES of Camels BEFORE they answered those surveys. Now what do YOU think the answer they gave the question "What cigarette do YOU smoke, Doctor?" was?

Thanks Fred for this much simpler time flashback. I do remember some of these. Congrats on 70k subscribers.
Thanks a lot, Russ.
Glad they have ME TV brings back good days
Cigars cigarettes? should a Lady offer a Gentleman a Tiparillo? Thanx for taking me back to my childhood this would be the way I viewed it in B/W on the the Philco TV made by Ford Motor Company...oh and rabbit ear antennas. I think we had four TV stations in Boston back then.
I too remember the "Rabbit Ear" antennas. Four TV stations WOW you was lucky. We only had 3 stations in Charleston, West Virginia.
4 stations but always something good to watch. Now it’s 550 stations and only a few good channels.... like MeTV!😉
I just seen Katie Douglas selling cigarettes on My Three Sons yesterday to buy Robbie a watch.
@@usmc-veteran7316 A good set of rabbit ears pulled in two of the three Providence stations, and both New Hampshire ones.
@@sheriheffner2098 Thank goodness a police officer didn't put her in a chokehold...
I love when these cartoons used to have sponsors for their show. I’m even happy you added in the sponsor for Calvin & the Colonel which I saw lots of times on my classic cartoons dvd set!
My cousin and I had a parody jingle for Winston cigs
"Winston tastes good like a cigarette should No filter No flavor Just sawdust and paper"
Robert Payne that’s Hilarious
Amazes me how vigorously cigarettes were pushed on children. No doubt they justified it by the fact a lot of adults watched The Flintstones, but this looks like propaganda now.
You should have had it copyrighted. ©️
Chatty Cathy voice sounds a lot like "Talky Tina" from the Twilight Zone. :)
Chatty Cathy says she does not like you.
That was actress June Foray, who did both voices,as well as rocky he flying squirrel and tons of other voices
Clurk Roberts
Interesting.
Freaky.
@@clurkroberts2650: She also did Natasha.
Winston tastes good like a cigarette should . Now that jiggle is back in my head 55 years later .
Wow! I hadn't seen those Beany & Cecil bumpers since...well, 1963. Thanks, Fred!
You're welcome, Michael.
Always glad to help out a like minded channel Fred!
Nicely edited as always.
And for those wondering why Fred is showing some stuff that does not appear on my channel, You tube has blocked the full episodes ( Like the Flintstones one.
Grym Reiper
Thanks for your help.
Fred the guy voicing the General Mills intro to Tennessee Tuxedo is Kenny Delmar who played Senator Claghorn on the Fred Allen radio show
Good info, Frank.
Kenny Delmar also was the voice of The Hunter on the King & Odie show.
And "Commander McBragg"....and "Colonel Kit Coyote" in the "Go-Go Gophers" cartoons....and "Savoir Faire" on "Klondike Kat".
I had one of those secret agent suitcases.
Me too! And a Johnny O.M.A. army gun! LOL!
Sweet!
I had that Penny Brite doll when I was a kid.
FYI June Foray provided the voice for both Chatty Cathy and "Talky Tina" from the Twilight Zone episode "Living Doll" which was inspired by Chatty Cathy.
That June sure got around.
@@FredFlix Versatile
By the time I saw the Flintstones, Welch's Grape products were being advertised.
By the time Fred and Wilma Flintstone had Pebbles as their daughter,
they gave up smoking, so Winston Cigarettes was dropped as a sponsor.
@@armorybrunotjr.3204 The other sponsors were Welch's Grape Juice and Grape Jelly and Miles Laboratories "One-A-Day" vitamins.
@@Sunsetdrivein And don't forget Kitchen Rich Cookies as a sponsor.
That was during season three. Carnation was also a sponsor during the third season. Beginning in season four, Welch's and Best Foods [Skippy, Niagara spray starch] were the alternate sponsors.
I remember seeing that Secret Sam toy advertised when I was a kid. I could imagine being a super spy. My parents said they couldn't afford it. Ironically, today I can afford a thousand of them. But, now I'm too big and old to play super spy. Thanx Fred for this vid. I found the cigarette commercials revolting. Odd to see them now. I ingested so much second hand smoke when I was growing up. But, never had the habit.
Thank you...love this channel.
These are so wonderful, thank you so much! Even though I know that "The Flintstones" wasn't originally aimed at a child audience (I guess this didn't happen until it went into syndication) it still feels a little creepy to see Fred and Wilma smoking!
Once Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm came along, the cigarettes went out the door to be replaced by Welch's Grape Juice
So fun! So many great memories! Thanks Fred😃
You're welcome, Jill.
12:04 Chatty Cathy, voiced by June Foray.
She also did a shit load of cartoon voices. Examples are granny (looney tunes) Natasha (rocky and bullwinkle, also rocky), Nell, (Dudley Do-right) jokey smurf, Ursula (George of the Jungle), Witch Hazel (looney tunes), Magica De Spell (duck tails) Ma Beagle (also from duck tails), and Fa Li (Mulan) And those are off the top of my head.
One more and that was Talking Tina the doll from The Twilight Zone that terrorized Telly Savalas.
And yes I would have wanted one of those Chatty Cathy dolls and her stroller too.
@Sheri Heffner My younger sister-our mother’s pet-got all of the fashionable toys. I admit that I privately gloated when her Chatty Cathy’s voice sped up: “I’mChattyCathyIloveyou!”
Margarine on steak??? Thanks for everything!
That struck me as strange too.
People did it. I’ve seen it!
Butter used in cooking steaks are meant to keep the meat tender & not dry out.
Even Gordon Ramsay uses that technique.
But I guess margarine is a matter of taste. 🥩
In '98, I was contracted to a "Capital Cities" station, which was having problems "going fully digital"; they also were in the midst of preparing for their 50th anniversary, part of that prep, was the making of a '50th anniversary retrospective look back to their 1948 roots'. They played 'hell' finding good, clean recorded copies of any of that original programming. The station was very good to its employees, many donated several hours of their time, in search of that copy.
(What lies below, pertains to stations representing all three networks)
Please, trust me, when I tell you that 'there isn't a lot of well archived material' out there; CBS Television has the lion's share of that which is left. Bill Paley drove home the need to keep an intact, and cataloged library of their programming for posterity.
I'd seen approximately 30 reels of 2-inch VTR tape, which was precious, as it contained "General Electric College Bowl" programs, which aired Saturday afternoons. Of that 30, four were useable, as magnetic degradation took its toll many years before their eventual discovery. We attempted to save the audio on many of those files, but failed.
You will enjoy this: broadcastpioneers.com/
That's cool, but how do the .ram files play?
Realplayer does the trick...

Thank you, so funny!!
You're welcome, SV.
Love my childhood,watching TV and living life.
Supper on the Stove and love the commercials.
I can remember watching an Episode of "The Beverly Hillbillies" On the commercial break "Granny" Lights up a Winston and looks at the camera and says "Winston tastes good.. Like a cigarette had outta"
Richard Dismore couldn’t a picked a healthier lookin rep!
Thanks for posting these commercials. I remember most of them. I'd like to see the American Character dolls "Tressy" and "Cricket" which had "growing" hair.
You're welcome, Ken.
My Chrissy has growing hair too, I got her in 1970 ( still have her in her original box today).
0:45 Fred Flintstone smoking a Winston. A very different time!!!!!
I remember my dad buying a carton of cigs for the price of one pack now.
I believe Imperial margarine (5 min.) is still around, as is Alka-Seltzer; but not the Speedy cartoon character. "Calvin and The Colonel" executive producers were Joe Connelly and Bob Mosher (7:58), who created "Leave It To Beaver" (1957-63) for television.
Connelly and Mosher previously wrote most of the "AMOS 'N' ANDY" radio scripts they later adapted for TV as "CALVIN AND THE COLONEL".
Imperial margarine is now made by Unilever & Alka-Seltzer by Bayer.
I liked Winstons, though not as much as Camel Filters or Marlboro. I was 15/16-years-old in the south Chicago area, smoking way before people started screaming about how bad they were for your health. Light to moderate use, they were fine, IMHO.
I remember almost all of those cigarette commercials. They were all booted from the airwaves since 1971, which as a pure First Amendment issue of illegal government censorship, should never have been allowed to occur! The ends do not justify the means when it comes to government censorship, or over-intrusiveness into the marketplace of free ideas!
Actually the removal of cigarette commercials from television was supported by cigarette companies to combat the equal time regulations used by anti-smoking organizations in the mid to late sixties to combat cigarette ads. Cigarette sale started falling in the 1960's and accelerated during the aforementioned period. After cigarette ads went off television cigarette sales went up to their highest levels and peaked around 1977 until falling again in the 1980's. What many people do not realize is that cigarette ads did not target new customers but sought to switch current smokers. This was another reason cigarette makers supported removing television ads.
Cigarette advertising during children commercials encourages kids to use the products. I read various comments on this video that stated they were a minor watching these cartoons and started smoking.
You have awakened neuron pathways that time has stored away!!! I remember loving Beany & Cecil as a toddler and some!! For some reason, I have no recollection of "Calvin & The Colonel," though that bear looks mighty familiar!!!
I had forgotten about that show as well, Jeff.
Every kid worth his salt had a pack of candy cigarettes at school.
How you gonna best Tennessee Tuxedo and Chumly ?
I can remember candy cigarettes. I used to buy them from the store when I bought my mom the real ones. This was back in the early 70s and kids were alliwed to buy their parents cigarettes. I would always tell the man at the store, "They're not for me, they're for my mother." But he had known me all of my life anyway.
@@sheriheffner2098 I only got my 10 cent packs of candy cigarettes with red tips in the 1960s, my Salem, Chesterfield,Lucky Strike, tasty and I "smoked" them!
My grandparents had a bathroom sink like the one in the Pepsodent commercial.
Pepsodent is now made by Church & Dwight.
WILLLLLLMAAAAA !! WHERE'S MY WINSTONS ?!?
Fred Flintstone, my type of guy, goes bowling,works at a Rock Quarry,has a crazy friend like Barney,likes eating Cocoa and Fruity Pebbles and loves smoking Winston Cigarettes. For some reason Fred Flintstone reminds me of Ralph Kramden LOLOLOLOLOLOL
That "TENNESSEE TUXEDO" example is from 1965 (that's when Topper introduced "Secret Sam").
I was told otherwise but I'll take your word for it, Barry.
Thank you! :) During the second season of "TENNESSEE TUXEDO" on the network, they presented repeats of previous episodes of "The King and Odie" and "Tooter and Mr. Wizard" from "KING LEONARDO AND HIS SHORT SUBJECTS"; the 26 new episodes of "The Hunter" and "The King and Odie" previously seen in the first season were added to "THE KING AND ODIE" in syndication.
Topper Toys and General Mills were both sponsors of Tennessee Tuxedo.
YES! They both shared the same ad agency- Dancer-Fitzgerald-Sample.
Love this stuff, wish cartoons like this was still on and not the crap cartoons they have on now a days
"And now a word from our alternate sponsor." Interesting . 1:53
Some programs had more than one weekly sponsor by the end of the 1950's. For example, after the end of the story, Marvin Miller (or another announcer) would say over the show's title, "Rod Serling, creator of 'THE TWILIGHT ZONE', will tell you about next week's story after this word from our alternate sponsor." Cue the other sponsor's message-- then Rod would briefly appear and sketch a few words about the next episode.......
I remember Beany and Cecil.
Two more coming? Grrreat!!! :)
5:02 . I'm sorry, but when did putting margarine (or butter) on a steak become a thing? Was this a southern thing? A well-marbled steak brings its own fat. I've never seen that. Was this some sort of commercial from the board of "More Diabeties in America"? My Dad put ketchup on a steak. Never understood that either.
Mine always put pepper on his and A1 Steak Sauce. I can't eat a steak without A1 on it.
I've seen a commercial RECENTLY (didn't notice who) with a steak sitting there with a pat of butter melting on it. I think it might be something that's always been a thing for a lot of people. It's just that there are a lot of us that for whatever reason never got the memo. PS I also seen it done recently on a cooking show , maybe "Diners Drive Ins And Dives ?
I think Outback Steak House puts butter on theirs and if you know what Longhorn Steak restaurant is, I think they do it too.
@@sheriheffner2098 To what end? It's like deep frying a stick of butter. It's overkill on the fat.
@@ClayLoomis1958 probably so. But I bet it adds a special little twist of flavor sort of like a richness. It's all good for those that love to wallow in butter ! 😋😋😋
Fred blazing on his Winston's :)
THANK YOU FRED!!!!
You're welcome, Liz.
Keep it up Fred. Thank you.
You're welcome, James.
Turning Back Time , Nice Work👍
I had the Secret Sam (@ 14:30 mark) case. The camera worked pretty well! The gun was fun, too!
I cant beleave i say this but those adds were nice lol
It was an innocent time.
Back when commercials were interesting to watch . Todays have no content and are quite boring with no jiggles just like todays porn to the point and boring .
I'd forgotten all about Dishonest John ! Nya ah ah !
Smiling at my desk & wanting to sing the Bob Clampett cartooooonnn part that Cecil does. Absolute Brilliance FF...
Thank you, Princess.
Winston tastes good like a cigarette should.
No filter, no flavor
Just rolled up toilet paper=)
John Rotuno that’s technically called a “bumwaddo”
The version I remember goes thus:
Winston tastes bad like the one I just had
no filter, no flavor,
just cotton pickin' paper.
I was just at the discount grocer and Imperial still cost less than $0.70 spread to this very day. Is 50 Cent
Aldi's, in my area, sells Imperial Margarine for 84 cents.
The kid on the horse dressed as a cowboy and strapping a shootin' iron. And the kid with the spy attache case with a gun and silencer. Classic! Don't see those kind of TV commercials now days. Or those kind of toys. I used to have all kinds of toy guns and some of them looked real. I do remember German Luger water pistols and I had a couple when I was a kid back in the 60's. Fun times!
Oh, those cigarette ads made them look so good and Fred Flintstone recommended them....so I ended up smoking for 20 years. :/ I still have my Matty Mattel talking doll. He's gone mute though.
When Fred Flintstone drank a Shlitz Malt liquor. It looked so good that it made me drink too many Shlitz Malt liqueurs Beers ......The only thing wrong with Shlitz was when you Crack one open .That Dam Bull Come Busting through the wall like " HEY KOOL-AID "
@@midnightrunner684 Mmmmm..Shlitz...
@@midnightrunner684 Don't see too many American beers at the supermarkets or at the liquor stores anymore. At least not in my hometown. No Lucky Lager, Olympia, Hamms, Schlitz. But Budweiser, Coors, Miller High Life, Miller Lite are still around. Pabst Blue Ribbon is a popular one in some of the restaurant & bars in my hometown. Micro Breweries is the big thing for quite a few years now in hometown.

Paul Drake - You didn't wash him, did you? My teddy bear, Taxi, I got in December 1958. He still has his original tag ( IDEAL) and today my Taxi , in stores, would be called a, dangerous toy? Because of the music box in his stomach, he has a key that can easily be removed ( I don't touch it; it stays). And he was never washed, the music box barely plays today, but still plays...
Is it weird that I kinda want the Secret Sam toy?
I so wanted that when I was a kid, but alas my cousin always got the 'good toys' like this. Don't get me wrong, because I got great toys back in the day, but there was always something great that had to be missed.
I had one back in the day. Circa 1965-1966.
@@paulfeagans9904 I mean, they were filled w/ mercury & covered in lead paint, but still.
I got one as a hand me down around 1968. Ioved it.
When I qualified for food stamps, more than once I got yelled at by some busybody in the supermarket check-out line for buying a stick of butter rather than a pound of margarine!
.."Down at Cape Canaveral, They're launching rockets almost every night!..." LOL
Don Adams (Maxwell Smart), the voice of Tennessee Tuxedo.
Also inspector gadget.
In 1962 ( almost bought one of the Secret Sam outfits ( _14:30_ ). I was 11. I had a choice of the Secret Sam or, a pair of super-duper General Electric walkie-talkies. They had a range of almost 1/4 mile. (Batteries not included.) I opted for the walkie-talkies. My sister had one of those Chatty Cathy dolls (_12:04_ ). One 4th of July me and a couple of pals sat the Cathy up against a tree, extended her arms and placed an M-80 firecracker on her arms. It blew her eyes back into her head so they rattled when you shook the doll. One of her arms was crooked and disjointed and the other arm was lying by itself about 15 feet from the blast site. We never laughed so hard in our lives. Naturally we gave Cathy a good Christian burial behind the garage. My sister never heard of any of it. Gosh those were fun days.
Pretty sure Fred Flinstone is responsible for my 45 year smoking habit.
BTW I remember even seeing the Chatty Cathy doll commercial from Beany & Cecil’s sponsor a lot on CZcams.
I had the secret sam briefcase. also had the James bond 007 briefcase. they were cool. if I only had them today in mint condition they would be worth some good cash.
Nya ha ha!!! I’d forgotten about Dishonest John! And I certainly didn’t know they based a kids card game on him.....
Cool stuff, I hated to see this one end.
Don't worry, Jeff. Two more volumes coming.
Give me real 100% butter anytime over grungy margarine. The first ingredient is water and vegetable oil and all sorts of chemicals. My late father insisted we buy margarine instead of butter and butter is better for you. After he passed away we staryed buying.butter and I have a five year old nephew who has eaten it all of his life. My.brother in law bought Shedd Spread once and he tried it and said "Nasty." He's right.
All my best memories
Cool ads. Something tells me that the spy briefcase actually did not take real photographs. 😄📷
It did. You had to put B&W film in it.
@@FromSagansStardust Wow, that is fantastic. I figured you press a button and pretended-- and that the finished photo in the commercial was just for showmanship.
@@eduardo_corrochio Of course, the photos were awful and you had to wait a week or more to see them (you had to take the exposed film to the drug store and they'd send them off to a lab, then you'd get the prints and negatives back).
@@FromSagansStardust In the commercial it looks a lot faster than that, LOL. That process must have tested the patience of many a kid!
That's why the disclaimer "FILM NOT INCLUDED" was seen when they showed the camera and photo at 15:23. At least Topper was honest about that.
"THE FLINTSTONES" were originally sponsored by R.J. Reynolds {Winston} and Miles Laboratories {Alka-Seltzer, One-A-Day} during its first two seasons. The cast appeared in integrated commercials for both.
"CALVIN AND THE COLONEL" was primarily sponsored by Lever Brothers {Pepsodent, Stripe, Handy Andy, Imperial, et. al.} during tits sole season on ABC. Lever's "RInso" originally sponsored "THE AMOS 'N' ANDY SHOW" on radio [which "CALVIN" was adapted from] during the 1940's.
"MATTY'S FUNNIES WITH BEANY AND CECIL" was sponsored by Mattel Toys during its 1962 prime-time showcase on ABC. When it was repeated on ABC's Sunday morning schedule from 1963 through '65, it was "BEANY AND CECIL" (for various advertisers).
"TENNESSEE TUXEDO AND HIS TALES" was always sponsored by General Mills {even in later syndicated editions}. During the CBS years (1963-'66), Deluxe Reading's Topper Toys was a co-sponsor.
More good info from Barry.
Thanks!
Big G little o; Go! with Cheerio's! All the way back to 63. We had more sugar in the milk than serial. My God, they filled our little heads with so much junk in those days. The games and toys were great, but the edibles were terrible! And targeting children to take up smoking. The real "Dishonest Johns" out there!
Yeah. But it was all fun and a personally special time for our generation and we survived.😺
@@nikkiroeder5774 I agree. I used to wish I were born in the old west cowboy days. Now I wouldn't change a thing. (Almost) We were very blessed to be kids in the best of times.
@@raywhittington1368 Yes indeed.
@@raywhittington1368 I hope when I die I find myself back there in the 60s ! 🤗❤️
Cool 😀
Thanks, Michael.
@@FredFlix Welcome 😀
Wonderful. I would have liked the DJ game. Secret Sam was great. Wonder how many law suits that would inspire today, between the guns and the camera :).
No, we played with the Lie Detector game, its still in the attic today ( no batteries required).
Alan Reed the voice of Fred Flintstone died in 1977 of emphysema caused by smoking.
8:16 What ever happened to Matty and Mel? I guess Mattel is no longer swell.
They were "phased out" after "MATTY'S FUNNIES" ended.
@@fromthesidelines Thanks for the history Barry.
You're VERY welcome. Christopher.
Fred Flix - at 5:02, NO, no, I miss those later Imperial margarine commercials, when a crown appeared on your head after eating some margarine!
I don't think they'll let you stand that close to a rocket taking off.
Chatty Cathy was creepy looking. Oh, and nothing like adding cholesterol on top of a already cholesterol laden steak. Who the hell puts butter or margarine on top of a steak? I think a legion of cardiologists put that commercial together to help drum up some new clients. Nice one Fred.
Good thoery, Gregg.
I do.
