      I recall distinctly, as though it occurred yesterday, watching and witnessing the Beatles' American premier on the "Ed Sullivan Show" (Sunday evenings) in early 1964; around the same time Cassius Clay (later known as Muhammed Ali) knocked out Sonny Liston to win the World Heavy-Weight Boxing Championship (Clay was only 21 or 22 years old). Those were heady times, before the country was swirled up in the maelstrom of Vietnam.

    1963 marked the end of TV classics like "Leave it to Beaver," "Hawaiian Eye," "Armstrong Circle Theater," "The Untouchables" and "Have Gun, Will Travel," while new TV classics like "Petticoat Junction," "The Fugitive," and legendary daytimers "General Hospital" and "Let's Make a Deal" all made their debuts.

      I distinctly recall the referenced TV shows that played their "swan song" in 1963. My mother wouldn't let me watch "The Untouchables"; too violent. In the early to mid-1970's I watched reruns of "Untouchables"; enjoyed it but was astonished such a gratuitously violent show would have been allowed in late 1950's/early 1960's. Back then you could not even utter the word "damn" on television!
      As a side note: many of the TV show "newcomers" in 1962/1963, as well as some longtime mainstays got the same "sweeping out the door" in 1971, when networks purged much of the established programming and replaced it with more libertine content in keeping with relaxed TV standards.

      I absolutely LOVED "The Rockie and Bullwinkle" Show! Jay Ward was a creative genius; the show was eons ahead of its time.
      I still enjoy watching the reruns today. R&B was thoroughly infused with double entendre, and appealed to adults as well as kids. I've read that as many asults as kids watched it on Saturday mornings. The show was an hilarious satire on (what was in the early-mid 1960's) contemporary culture. In some ways, it pre-saged "Saturday Night Live" and Britain's "Second City", which came ten years later in the 1970's. Oh! the memories ...

I must have been out sick is all I can think of. These were the days when the father worked and the mother stayed home.

    I was ten years old (my birthday) the day Kennedy was assassinated. The entire country shut down, and I was more concerned that my birthday party at the local skating rink would be cancelled. But the roller rink owner told my mother: "No; we all need something to cheer us up today." In summer 1963 my family was on a vacation in Dallas/Fort Worth. We visited Six Flags amusement park, and also drove right by the area in Deely Plaza where the assassination occurred; oblivious to what would would happen in the very location a few months later.

My mom did not drive, she brought our red wagon and picked us up. We ( per my mom) had to sit quietly and say the rosary. We did not have a clue…lol I was 6, my bro was 4 and my mom was pregnant with my sister. My dad was out at sea on the Lexington. He was a 👩‍✈️ pilot. I don’t know if he was supposed to come home or not but the next day he was home for a few days. We went to church it seems like about 10 times that week. Yes, we were raised Catholic, I’m now an agnostic. I really did not understand about the death of JFK until I was in high school. Now my adult sons ask every end of November what and why. I told them to wiki it. Lol I was 6 what could I tell them? There are alway a lot of shows on TLC and A&E. I mean no disrespect, I was just so young.

In the next month I was in art class again when someone handed me a "Parade magazine" with an article and photos of The Beatles. Wow. A week later I sat in front of our TV and watched the Beatles perform on the Ed Sullivan Show. 1963 was one of the finest years of my life.

As I walked the daily .6 miles to my home, I remember to this day seeing Mrs Sprague a real blue nose talking with Mrs Herman her neighbor who she viewed as a hick bumpus. I still remember thinking to myself, what is going on? Those two never talk to each other.

    I was in first grade then and the only thing concerning this video I definitely remember was the principal of our school coming into the classroom to inform us of President Kennedy's death. Our parents had been called to come pick us up from school early. That night I looked at a photo of the President and cried. Other than losing pets, I guess it was my first experience with death that made such an impression.

    Another wonderful job with this video! I was just a year old so no memories of these subjects other than what I learned later in years. The racism then was terrible. One should remember that a lot of us grew up in racist families with lack of knowledge about other races and knew no better. I am so glad that society has come a long way since then, but still has more to go. There is NO EXCUSE for racist hatred today. I have traveled the world all of my adult life with the Air Force and later for a major aircraft manufacture. One thing that I learned is no matter what country you visit, people are pretty much the same in that they just want to live their lives in peace and happiness. Shameful how governments get us into too much conflict.

      It was like 9/11. On that day, I was on the job (where I still work). Around 9:00 or so, the boss got on the intercom, and ordered everybody to shut everything down, and go straight home. "National emergency! Go straight home, and don't stop anywhere! Turn on any radio station for the latest news." Even the FM rock stations switched to news, which I've never heard of before. (FM hadn't quite caught on in 1963.)

School dismissed. The Funeral coverage interrupted Saturday cartoons. As an 8 year old how could we know the significance. My mother bought me that Beatles single earlier that year.

    Being Julia Child is on the cover still for this video, I feel the narration should be corrected to note that she was indeed an accomplished Chef.
    Julia Child graduated from the Cordon Bleu in 1951 then taught as a Chef for several years, then wrote the seminal book Mastering the Art of French Cooking in 1961...
    2 years before her debut on PBS.

    On Monday, April Fools' Day, 1963, the medical soap opera series "The Doctors" made its debut on NBC-TV. It starred Jimmy Pritchett as Dr. Matthew Powers and Ann Williams as his wife Maggie who was also a doctor. Miz Williams was replaced by Bethel Leslie and later on Lydia Bruce. On Friday, New Years Eve, 1982, the soap opera series "The Doctors" was no more. In other words: it was permanently cancelled forever. Good riddance. On November the twenty-third, 1963, the sci-fi cliffhanger series "Doctor Who" made its debut on the BBC-TV Network in London, England on my very first birthday. It starred William Hartnell as the original Doctor Who and Carole-Ann Ford as his teenage granddaughter Susan Foreman. Other actors had also taken over the late Mr. Hartnell's role from Patrick Troughton to Jodi Whittaker. Who knew.

    you missed that the Kennedy administration had submitted the first civil rights bill in August of that year that would later be passed into law under LBJ in tribute to President Kennedy. This law would bar discrimination on the basis of race, sex, religion, age and creed. The bill was submitted in September 1963.

    1963 ! They desegregated the schools where we lived. The whites and blacks went to the same schools for the 1st time. Being a late bloomer white boy everyone was bigger than me. After several episodes of getting beat-up and relieved of my lunches and milk money and my clothes ripped and torn I finally saw the light and learned to fight ! ! ! I didn't always win but once it was common knowledge I wouldn't back-down, win lose or draw, life got much better.
