I like how they always told you a program was in color so you’d be sad if you only had a black and white television lol. Color television was a big thing back then.
Hello! We as children we watch quality not trash. Tv was a time to live magic. Tv was the infant of the world after WW2. America began to grow like us. 20 years to live from 1940 to 1970. Superman was sewed up into the fabric of America . Every show had a secret message tone to say what our world of America should be like. Thank you 😊❤️☺️🤗
I agree with you Albert. I was born in 1957. Therefore, I was a part of that generation. The 60's was the best time to be a kid. I will admit that Peyton Place was pretty risque for that time. But that's nothing compared to the junk that is on TV today! Except for The Amazing Race, I don't watch prime time TV today.
Actually he directed M*A*S*H, Ingo Preminger was the Producer. I'd just bear in mind that television directors on a series can only stray so far from established themes and characters in the show. And after all, the film screenplay was written by a blacklisted commie, so bear that in mind.
My mother immigrated to the United States in 1966, and when i was growing up she would always mention the shows and series she enjoyed watching. Most of them i had never heard of (Petticoat Junction?!?!) Now i get to see snippets of what she saw when she first came here as a teenager! Thanks RwDt09!!
I love Combat! I picked up the DVDs from a sale bin about 6 yrs ago, they are awesome. I recognized a few young, soon to be famous, actors in this series.
I got weepie as I yelled out the names one last time. It was a weird thing my dad and I shared-not much else-but by the late 1960's/early 1970's, after his divorce, Rick moved in to our neighborhood in Sherman Oaks. He would later build a set of wine storage lockers in Van Nuys and we became friends. After my own dad died in 1987, Rick and I got a bit closer. And when he finally remarried, we spent the night before drinking old brandy as he told me about his life and family. He was such a fascinating man. But after his marriage, eventually he would move away, to Moorpark. And after going to a reunion for Combat (in Las Vegas), he came back totally depressed after realizing he was one of only two guys still alive. He shot himself in his backyard soon thereafter. It was like losing my dad all over again. He was truly a man's man who had experienced so very much over the period of his life. By the way, his old man was a successful jeweler in Russia who didn't want his son to waste his time in acting! Just imagine, they fought WWII longer than the actual war, with much of it having been filmed in old Chatsworth and surrounding area-not far from where Rin Tin Tin had been filmed.
"HIPPODROME" was Red Skelton's summer replacement that year. Taped in England, a guest host appeared each week to present circus acts from all over the world, and contemporary American performers (singers, comedians, dancers, et. al.).
Great shows and great memories. Thank you for posting. These were my childhood faves. #1 favorite was F-Troop. Sgt O'Rourke: "I don't know why they say you're so dumb' Cpl Agarn: (10 minutes later, out of the blue) 'WHO SAYS I'M DUMB?' Still cracks me up to this day.
Great vid and I can barely remember watching some of these show with my parents and grandparents in 66, except for Peyton Place for some reason it was time for me to go to bed.
@@Lisa-di1wi I wasn't allowed either. Or at least Mom let it be known it wasn't a "good" show with "comments." There was no fuss as we (kids) didn't want to watch it anyway.
SHATNER LEFT ( DR. KILDARE ) 1ST. CAUSE HE DIDN'T WANT TO PLAY SECOND FIDDLE TO CHAMBERLAIN 2ND HIS GOOD FRIEND LENNY NIMOY CONVINCED HIM TO READ FOR THE PART OF CAPT KIRK ON STAR TREK ,,,,, WHICH HE GOT
Did you imagine that riff. Kildare had almost 200 episodes. Shatner was in 6 of them. Ken Berry was in 25 so much more of a recurring character. Heck Serrano Jones (Callihan) and Leslie Nielsen had more appearances. That prior year Shatner had his own lawyer/DA series, For the People, and he was a guest star on several popular shows incl Man from Uncle and The Defenders. Like many he alternated between series feature, Broadway and character work to make a living.
Dick Tufeld was sure kept busy around this time, between Lost in Space and Hollywood Palace. Funny how I never noticed he was also the announcer for Peyton Place.
Well, I was 5 and 6 that fall....I watched...F-Troop, McCale's Navy, The Fugitive, Daktari, My parents would make me watch Please Don't Eat The Daisey's and I wouldn't fuss too much, as I thought it was Doris Day. Now, I like Petticoat Junction as well...as a kid, I only liked the opening sequence.
I was sad to see-in an interview before he died-how Jerry Van Dyke-DIck's brother-had chagrined his choice to turn down one thing and select "My Mother the Car". Personally, I thought it was funny back in the day...and used to sing a-along with the Theme Song written by Ralph Carmichael, who had his own fame and glory...as well as tough dealings with his religious faith!
Compared to today's offerings was My Mother The Car really that bad? To each their own, I didn't think it was as bad as "the know it alls" made it out to be.
I didn't like "Petticoat Junction", or "Green Acres". I liked the "Danny Kaye Show", and "The Carol Burnett Show", "The Outer Limits", "Shindig", Hullabaloo; but that was in 1964.
The war in the South Pacific was nothing to make fun about. Tens of thousands of American and Japanese boys died in agonizing conditions there. Read history and quit making asinine comments.
Richard Lawson - I have read history thank you very much. My comment was not meant to denigrate or disrespect those conflicts. Or even the TV shows depicting them. My comment reflected media bias towards programmes about the armed services, war, conflicts etc, to normalise and inure people to the tragic wastes of the lives of young, innocent, often poorer people with little career prospects-and for what reason? The economic interests of the elite. It’s brainwashing and manipulation on the part of mass media to choose to make programmes depicting these terrible conflicts and turning them into family entertainment. As you so clearly missed the thrust of my comment, I think the “asinine” accusation rests with yourself!
It was Barbara. During the 1967-68 season, it moved from Tuesday nights to Saturday nights for the remainder of the series. Good Morning World moved into its 9:30 pm time slot. Unfortunately, it only lasted for one season.
Clarence was an unusual lion. He was really cross eyed. He would not have made it in the wild.Very gentle were all the claims....that Chimp, on the other hand...a monster.
Watching this stuff in syndication in the early 70s it already seemed very dated. Blacks were called negros and women did not wear pants. Kids said 'gee' and 'swell'. These shows dominated TV as they were on five days or nights each week. We had no cable or internet. FM radio gave us some contemporary and progressive stuff though, as did PBS - before it got sold out.
My Dad used to watch Combat all the time. Miss you Dad!
Daktari was actually filmed at a place outside of Los Angeles called Africa USA.
I like how they always told you a program was in color so you’d be sad if you only had a black and white television lol. Color television was a big thing back then.
During the summer of '66, Green Acres was the place to be for this then 8-year-old (that's me).
Nan Fagan I was 11 and wouldn’t miss an episode lol
WOW THIS BRINGS BACK MEMORIES
COMBAT!!! An all time favorite.
R.I. P.
Ken Berry ( he in Mayberry R. F. D. And F Troop ) died at 12-1-2018
David Jansen ( he in Harry O ) died at 1980

Amazing that Robert Altman could do such a straight laced war show as Combat just before producing the movie M*A*S*H.
Actually he directed M*A*S*H, Ingo Preminger was the Producer. I'd just bear in mind that television directors on a series can only stray so far from established themes and characters in the show. And after all, the film screenplay was written by a blacklisted commie, so bear that in mind.

Petticoat Junction is on METV. They have a website You can tape it. I think Sat. Morning at 5 and 5:30 right now.
Rest in peace, Vic.
Hello tv world people / viewers ! 1940 1950 1960 was a time to live grow up in USA . We as children saw
In this lineup I remember I mostly watched Combat, Dr. Kildare, F Troop, Peyton Place and The Fugitive!!
I love Combat! I picked up the DVDs from a sale bin about 6 yrs ago, they are awesome. I recognized a few young, soon to be famous, actors in this series.
Zombie George
I got the DVD set the hard way. Half a season at a time - $40.oo each . But worth it.
I got weepie as I yelled out the names one last time.

Combat! Is a classic!

Sgt O'Rourke: "I don't know why they say you're so dumb'
Cpl Agarn: (10 minutes later, out of the blue) 'WHO SAYS I'M DUMB?'
Still cracks me up to this day.
Wow...Larry Storch of "F Troop" is still alive. 98 as of 8/5/2021.
Sadly, as of 10/1/22 Larry is no longer coming down for breakfast. RIP
A real master of burlesque comedy. Him leading the rain dance of all the Jewish/Italian indians was my favorite gag in all the episodes of F Troop.
Great vid and I can barely remember watching some of these show with my parents and grandparents in 66, except for Peyton Place for some reason it was time for me to go to bed.
It wasn't for "kids."
Of course Peyton Place wasn't for kids. I don't know if my mother allowed me to watch that show.
@@Lisa-di1wi I wasn't allowed either. Or at least Mom let it be known it wasn't a "good" show with "comments." There was no fuss as we (kids) didn't want to watch it anyway.
Terrific - the summer before my junior year at Tucker HS!
omg my mom was an avid fan of Peyton place and my dad loved all these shows
I crushed on Patricia Crowley, LOL
They showed Petticoat Junction reruns from the 1970's until the early 1980's for many years in Minneapolis Minnesota.
Petticoat Junction. Utterly INANE.
It's on METV Sat. mornings at 5 and 5:30 am.
Nice
10:15 omg it's Captain Kirk!!! Notice how he Americanizes his Canadian accent.
"And now, Doctor, if you will excuse me...I have to take command of the USS ENTERPRISE!"
He was the star of his own lawyer series that year "For the People" that lasted one year before getting the casting for ST.
The Cast Of "F-Troop Have All Gone To That Fort Courage In The Sky!😥

FUGITIVE!!!!!!
Captain Kirk in Dr. Kildare ( color version )
I loved Combat and F Troop
My Mother the Car lasted 1 year, while Please Don't Eat the Daisies got renewed.
Duc Nguyen
I was Big into cars, and even I couldn’t stomach My Mother The Car.
And I liked Please Don’t Eat The Daisies
Of course, Internal Medicine is now considered part of "Primary Care."
Well, I was 5 and 6 that fall....I watched...F-Troop, McCale's Navy, The Fugitive, Daktari, My parents would make me watch Please Don't Eat The Daisey's and I wouldn't fuss too much, as I thought it was Doris Day. Now, I like Petticoat Junction as well...as a kid, I only liked the opening sequence.
OMG.....Jerry Van Dyke died today....so funny it's on here. He was great.
Clarence was cute!!!
Jack Carter had a busy night. Guesting on Combat and hosting Hippodrome (a show I don't remember at all).
I want Dusty's Trail
I don't remember McHale's Navy on that late.
Can you make FANTASY TV LINEUP 1951-1955 onto upload?
One of these shows included in the lineup was Gunsmoke.
I was probably in bed by then, being a baby/toddler.
McHale's Navy was cancelled that year.
During the show's final season, the show's setting moved from the South Pacific to Italy.
Guess the writers were running out of ideas for episodes.
I was sad to see-in an interview before he died-how Jerry Van Dyke-DIck's brother-had chagrined his choice to turn down one thing and select "My Mother the Car". Personally, I thought it was funny back in the day...and used to sing a-along with the Theme Song written by Ralph Carmichael, who had his own fame and glory...as well as tough dealings with his religious faith!
This has to be ironic--this video coming out just about the time that the death of Jerry Van Dyke was announced (the star of MY MOTHER THE CAR)
ABC won the ratings war that season. That's my guess.
My Mother the Car: the Edsel of comedies
Compared to today's offerings was My Mother The Car really that bad?
To each their own, I didn't think it was as bad as "the know it alls" made it out to be.
@@davidjoines8852 Yes, it was THAT bad......
Who was high enough to let this steaming pile on the air?
I didn't like "Petticoat Junction", or "Green Acres". I liked the "Danny Kaye Show", and "The Carol Burnett Show", "The Outer Limits", "Shindig", Hullabaloo; but that was in 1964.
Captain Kirk and Dr Kildare
Combat. McHale’s Navy. F Troop... ever wonder why there are so few pacifists?
The war in the South Pacific was nothing to make fun about. Tens of thousands of American and Japanese boys died in agonizing conditions there. Read history and quit making asinine comments.

Also, why is that guy wearing a bathrobe?
That's Dr Orloff and he's wearing the robe because he's a patient at the hospital www.imdb.com/title/tt0565117/reference
I REMEMBER PETTICOAT JUNCTION WAS ON SATURDAY NIGHT AT SOME POINT
It was Barbara. During the 1967-68 season, it moved from Tuesday nights to Saturday nights for the remainder of the series. Good Morning World moved into its 9:30 pm time slot. Unfortunately, it only lasted for one season.
Indians were Indians and black people were black.
Were the producers of Daktari insane? Having a person ride a lion!
Lions cared less about political correctness back then.
DanDaShrubber: I was thinking more about eating the actress.
Roger Morris, Whatever makes you happy.
Clarence was an unusual lion. He was really cross eyed. He would not have made it in the wild.Very gentle were all the claims....that Chimp, on the other hand...a monster.
Watching this stuff in syndication in the early 70s it already seemed very dated. Blacks were called negros and women did not wear pants. Kids said 'gee' and 'swell'. These shows dominated TV as they were on five days or nights each week. We had no cable or internet. FM radio gave us some contemporary and progressive stuff though, as did PBS - before it got sold out.
