  • All the series intros except for a missing few represented by clips or promos instead. Although, it looks like after the fact that I forgot to include the Blondie intro. Oh, well, CZcams has it elsewhere, just type in 'Blondie 1968' and it'll pop up.

    When I was a kid we all would get very excited for the new Fall tv shows. In those days, the TV Guide was in every household and you couldn’t wait to get the issue that previewed all the new shows. With only three channels everyone was usually watching the same popular programs and it brought people together.

    My favorites were The Ghost and Mrs. Muir and Here Come The Brides. I have to point out that the first season of Here Come The Brides only had a musical theme song. The song lyrics came in the second season. I was so disappointed when Brides was canceled after only 2 seasons! Most young girls liked Bobby Sherman whereas I had eyes only for Robert Brown. What a hunk he was!❤I also had a huge crush on Edward Mulhare in The Ghost And Mrs. Muir. I liked older men! 😀

      Nostalgia is a disease. It is insidious in that it is both self indulgence and self flagellation at the same time. Live for the moment. Don't wallow in the warmth memories long past, make yourself warm with new experiences. Memories should have a self imposed shelf life. Art Buchwald had a great quote about nostalgia..."We seem to be going through a period of nostalgia, and everyone seems to think yesterday was better than today. I don't think it was, and I would advise you not to wait ten years before admitting today was great. If you're hung up on nostalgia, pretend today is yesterday and just go out and have one hell of a time.”

They may seem outdated to todays crowd, but they were way ahead of its time back then. there were no computers, or smart phones in the 1960's, but we all communicated with each other, as in todays world, people don't talk to each other anymore, they are so pre-occupied with their phones and computers. how pathetic.

Also, in the Mod Squad Opening, I could not figure out where they were supposed to be (a mine of some sort), why they were running, why the boss popped out of nowhere, and why the guys had to drag Peggy Lipton between them.

    I never realized until seeing this how many shows of that era featured single-parent families, and how popular they were. Just within this bunch there were Julia. The Ghost & Mrs. Muir, The Doris Day Show, and Mayberry RFD. In addition there were The Courtship of Eddie’s Father, Nanny and the Professor, Family Affair, Gidget, The Lucy Show and Here's Lucy, My Three Sons, The Governor and J.J., and Petticoat Junction. Even on The Beverly Hillbillies, Jed Clampett was a widower. A bit later there were Diff'rent Strokes, Alice, and One Day at a Time.

      It sure was on in prime time. NBC scheduled "The New Adventures of Huck Finn" to come on before "Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color" on Sunday nights. ("Lassie" kicked "Huck Finn's" butt, though...and that's why what was billed as the first prime-time TV show to combine live action and animation lasted just one season.)

    I was in college, grad-school, and law school in those days so TV was a luxury if you could find one. Students were forbidden in college from having a TV in their rooms though some were bootlegged. One TV was in a small rec room that was supposed to serve 750 guys so the only thing on TV would be football in the fall and basketball in the winter. Law school days and nights were spent rummaging through the library researching case law and looking for the sob who had the same volume you needed so the late 60's and early 70's are somewhat of new territory to my TV viewing. I see that I didn't miss much.

    Journey To The Unknown was a British made tv series concentrating on the super natural and the unknown, hence the title. Although British made it was produced in collaboration with US tv and therefore featured some American actors. The opening credits were filmed in a deserted Battersea Park Funfair in London, now long gone, and together with the haunting whistling theme tune made for a memorable opening which set up the super natural theme for each episode. It was shown in the UK on ITV.

I was instantly 5 again, picking up where I'd left off 1/2 a century prior.
