I've watched this show from the beginning 1979- I still watch today. I was so hooked on Mr. Kuralt voice and how he delivered the news. What a great man and good spirit as well. Rest Mr. Kuralt - RIP.
And RIP Charles Osgood.
Mr. Osgood was a great man as well. I watched him until he retired. Rest well Mr. Osgood@@ThePoreproductions
This makes me miss my grandpa. He used to watch this show every Sunday morning
My Nana as well.
Mine too.
Same with my mom.
Same.
Mine too...it's reason I looked this up..just playing their farmhouse while it played by his tabletv and grandma cooking breakfast
CBS Sunday Morning holds a special place in my heart because my parents would watch this show every morning before church. Every time I hear that trumpet song, I can still smell pancakes, bacon and coffee being cooked and I can still feel my church necktie choking me. Sweet memories
The original open trumpet. Superior in it's simplicity.
Abblasen played by Wynton Marsalis. Amazing, iconic!
I went digging around on youtube to try to figure out the instrument because I couldnt from memory, and thought it was some obscure regal horn but then hearing was like...wait is that trumpet...
Abblasen Original by Gottfried Reiche (1667 - 1734)
Nothing against Wynton's version, but I prefer the original 1979 version without the extra flourishes at the end (as well as the slower pace and less political nature of the whole show.)
Not really the original. Just the recording with Don Smithers which piloted and and carried the show until the late 1990's. Still with us.
I am very happy that the 1979 debut was uploaded onto CZcams. I was at first worried that something was very wrong with either my tv, or that somehow I was thinking, it was the wrong day of the week; Laughing to myself. I have gotten so used to watching the Sunday Morning show throughout my life, that it has become my weekly habit.
So even though, I am happy to find the Sunday Morning show on CZcams, it saddens me to think, that I might be part of the last generation to really enjoy and appreciate a good intelligent news show, that does not only focus on entertainment news.
Sure miss you Charles Kuralt! Me and my grandpa always tuned in to you every Sunday morning before church!
Wow, intelligent, thoughtful, well-paced reporting. I'd forgotten what this was like.
sickphil71 we had FCC regulations
This was journalism.
May God bless you Charles Kuralt. I am fascinated with everything you have reported on.
He was second to none. The best!
Fond memories of this when I was a kid, I loved watching this with my parents every Sunday. Then a great Roast Beef diner later that day. My Mom was the Best Cook Ever! The good old days, life was so much simpler then. Best part I knew I had it good and enjoyed every moment.
I can definitely relate, Erik! It's one of my good memories as well.
One of the greatest shows of all time. Charles taught me to love everything about our world and everything about life. Hearing that trumpet made me cry. Thanks CZcams for being a time machine.
8 months 19 days later, on october 16, 1979, we came to america and always love watching sunday morning, until i joined the us navy on July 13, 1987... until July 1, 1992. love this show, my top ten!
Mr. Kuralt was a one-of-a-kind journalist. In many ways, he was made for this show. Or, maybe, the CBS brass made this show for him 😊. Despite busy Sunday mornings for me, I always watched when I could. Thanks for posting this memory.
0:26- "Good Morning! Here begins something new." You're right Charles Kuralt- it's a new kind of beginning- a beginning where one is proud to listen to what is happening or what is expected to come in the week ahead.
Chris Finch It’s hard to believe that something new would last over 40 years.
The best morning show ever. It was like enjoying a Sunday newspaper, with its variety of sections. It was calm, informative and entertaining.
"Good morning! Here begins something new!"
Yes, indeed...And oh that we could go back there again...
Sure miss Charles kurault My grandpa always watched cbs Sunday morning 1980. Great memories
When I watched television back in the day, this was one of my favorites.
I forgot how great this show used to be.
Back then, my dad used to make sure my older sister and I got up on Sunday mornings to eat breakfast and then get ready to go to Sunday School and then church. We had this NuTone intercom system and he would turn it on just before Sunday Morning came on with that trumpet.
We had to sit apart during church because she would get me to laugh and my dad and mom would have me sit on the end of the pew away from my older sister :) lol
“Here’s something new…and it starts right now.” Wonderful stories and introductions to beautiful places and fascinating people. Charles Kuralt is so missed…one of the best storytellers that ever lived.
All I can think about is My Grandma and Ma getting me ready for the church and me closing my eyes and hearing the intro for the first time! I would further fall in love with music! Peace!
I loved his voice, so soothing.
when I was small child I remember. this show what love about it his voice and the stories
Same here.
Learn English
I understood him pretty well, despite some grammatical mistakes, technically speaking. We could all point out the mistakes of others, and surely, that would make this world better, right? Some try to rise above such pettiness, others do not. I guess you must feel a great sense of accomplishment for your insightful little comment here.
With the news that Charles Osgood is leaving SM after 22 years, this was a good time to see the very first broadcast.
Osgood carried the torch of Kuralt through the years very well.
Very very well.
I fear for the future of Sunday Morning since it will no longer have any objectivtive journalism.
But now that Jane Pauley has replaced Osgood as host of CBS Sunday Morning, the ratings will likely drop, leading to its cancellation.
Bobby Daniels it's the program itself that keep people watching SUNDAY MORNING, not the host entirely
If only the show would stay as it has been for decades: this calm, nice, smiley face, warm fuzzy, family show. Recent episodes have, in one case, spent the whole show on personal finance. Not my idea of a way to chill on Sunday morning. Last week, the show opened with a story about prostitution in America. Not a good family morning around the pancakes sort of sunday morning entertainment. I really hope they fix it. This is starting to suck. Hard.
I think Jane Pauley is great as the host, but you really don’t see much of her talking like how Charles Kuralt is doing here. She pretty much just seems to introduce the next story and that’s it.
thank you posting this. I loved it! I'm a huge fan of the show.
My dad used to watch this show every single Sunday morning when I was a little kid (I was born in 77). He still watches it. I watch it now too. Great show, I hope it lasts forever.
My father does the same, too, when we're getting ready for Church- in which our mass starts and hour from when the show's done for that Sunday- 9:30am.
I used to watch this when I was a young man; it sure is nice to see it again now that I am an old man. Thank you, Fred!
This reminds me of Sunday mornings as a kid growing up in the 80s. The music is so nostalgic.
So does it for me!
God bless Mr Kurault. I haven’t missed a Sunday Morning since 1982.
Thank you so much for posting. As a child, I used to watch this every Sunday morning with my Dad. Amazing how rewatching this truly took me back to my childhood. Thanks again.
I’m in tears that is the sound of my childhood all was right with the world
I Love the Look of the SUNDAY MORNING Set
You're not the only one!
I love Sunday morning so much
"Sunday Morning" premiered right on time, at the final year of the 70s: 1979.
Yep. The final year of the '70s is 1979. Good work!
[4] Although it is popular (even for me) to say that the decade begins in a year ending in 0 and ends in a year ending in 9, technically, the 1970's began on January 1, 1971 and ended on December 31, 1980. The 1980's then began on January 1, 1981.
@@libertubey2199 Nope. That was the eighth decade of the 20th century (1901-2000). The 1970s began with the year ending in zero, like the 1900s.
I could binge watch Charles Kuralt reruns he was great! Love the original theme music too.
It's nice to look in the rearview and remember the good things.
I remember watching this show when I was a kid in 1982 when I was 7. I never understood what the news was talking about and what was going on in the world, but I was mesmerized by this show as a kid, and watched it all the time on Sundays with my dad.
I rarely ever miss CBS News Sunday Morning. :)
Yeah, if only i have DVR, so i can record "Sunday Morning", because i be at church by the time it comes on. LOL.
@@mochafiend1 It would come on from 8am-9:30am (CST) and after that, we head on down to church, since we have a 10:30am mass.
My favorite news anchor as a kid from CBS. I watched this guy every Sunday. His speaking style was perfect. Also liked brothers Robert and Peter Jennings during the weekday evenings. Also the long running host of Good Morning America on weekday mornings. Back when news was interesting and worth watching. But nobody beat Charles on Sunday he was great.
RIP Pops, Charles Tillman IV. I remember you watching this Every Sunday when I was a little boy. RIP Charles Kuralt.💯🙏
Been watching this show all my life still watching its great show
What a beginning 😊😊😊
I live this show & I still watch it
I'm using this to go to sleep with for now on. I actually went to sleep with this on. I have irregular sleeping patterns. 😐 🥺😫😇
This helped. I miss his voice from my WTP audio tapes.
Nice. Charles Kuralt and Charles Shieffer....class acts. on a positive note, the report on bald eagles///in Maine, starting @11:20 lad to say that the entire state of Maine has many bald eagles, they are on the increase in my NY State, and have sen been seen in my NW Bronx neighborhood, in Van Cortlandt Park.
I swear that I had watched this show pre 1979.
I know exactly what you mean because I swear I watched this as a little kid premiering in the late 60s and I guess I must have it confused with Charles kuralt ON THE ROAD .. but I really do find it hard to believe this premiered in 1979 because you're right.. it seems that was much earlier than that .
News. Not opinion. Thanks
I didn't know the show ran this long. Jimmy Carter is super sweet!
Today is the 25th anniversary of the Charles Kuralt appearance as a contestant on the July 4, 1997 episode of Celebrity Bucket Kickers.
I was 12 when I saw this new show
0:26, Good Morning, Charles
been on for 43 years
I miss that guy classic coverage back then
I Often Wonder Why Charles Wore that Earpiece
I miss him
cbs sunday morning studios opens it doors for 1st time
My father watch CBS Morning when I was nine and ten years old
I also remember the guy doing the sports, Ray Gandalf.. years later when he was older he looked a lot like Hemingway. Does anybody else remember him ?
This aired three days after I turned eighteen........
This was 1 year and a month before I was born
Even with his major lisp....his voice is soothing.
Who has a Major Lisp?
I just discovered Charles Kuralt are there more classics?

1:32, Here are the Headlines for Sunday Morning, The 28th of January
What happened to Saturday? In the opening all the days of the week are running on the screen except Saturday…why didn’t they include Saturday…?
Because, initially, Sunday Morning was part of a CBS News project that started in 1979 where Charles Kuralt would be on the 90-min. Sunday broadcast, and Bob Schieffer would do an abridged version that ran for an hour daily that had more of a focus on the main news of the morning, sports and weather (Schieffer's weekday broadcasts were named to the day of the week [Monday Morning, Tuesday Morning, Wednesday Morning, Thursday Morning and Friday Morning]).
Unfortunately that doesn’t answer the question. Why isn’t Saturday in the list?
@@nanlev613 In that case, probably because of Saturday morning cartoons.
they been on for 43 years when this year end
Now, the “Mornings” belongs to CBS yet again, this year. CBS always had its eye on News, Sports and Entertainment for all these years.
and 50 years later we can see the eagles

WOW! 90 minutes ! Networks don't do programs like this anymore-don't want to spend the time, staff or $ to do real news & journalism. These days programs are all sales pitches, " lifestlye" & celebrity gossip.
opening day
THE THEME SONG IS A TOUCH DIFFERENT, I WONDER IF IT IS WYNTON MARSELAS EVEN WAY BACK 36 YEARS AGO, LIKE IT IS TODAY, ON SUNDAY OF COURSE.......HE WOULD HAVE ONLY BEEN 17 YEARS OLD IN JANUARY 1979......
THIS MIGHT BE MY FAVORITE SHOW OF ALL, CERTAINLY THE BEST REPORTING ON TV !!! I HOPE THEY PUT ALL THEY PAST SHOWS ON HERE, THAT WOULD BE AWESOME !!!
I FOUND THIS VIDEO CAUSE I WAS TRYING TO FIND OUT ON GOOGLE IF THE EAST COAST GOT TO SEE LAST SUNDAY'S SHOW, (YESTERDAY) CAUSE THOSE OF US ON IN THE PACIFIC TIME ZONE GOT IT PREEMPTED FOR A STUPID FOOTBALL GAME, WHICH I HATE !!! THE DATE IN QUESTION WAS 10-4-15 - IT WOULD BE COOL IF YOU GUYS COULD PUT THAT EPISODE ON HERE TOO, SINCE ALL US WEST COAST PEOPLE MISSED OUT ON IT...........
This is the theme to Sunday Morning, composed by Johann Gottfried and called “Abblasen”. This music has been used on CBS News Sunday Morning for many years, but only since 1998 have they been using this version performed by Doc Severinsen, the former Tonight Show bandleader. Since 2004 they have been using a version of Abblasen by Wynton Marsalis. CBS Sunday Morning is anchored by Charles Osgood and focuses on the day’s news as well as on arts and entertainment. Being a successful morning program, CBS News executives attempted in the early 80’s to transfer the Sunday morning format to weekdays with anchors Charles Kuralt and Diane Sawyer. So this theme was also used on the weekday morning show for a short period of time
2:01 Talking about United Airlines.
What kid shows on Sunday morning did SUNDAY MORNING replace at the time?
Thats a serious ear plug.
BTW Guess What Nxt Sunday is I'll give you a hint the 45th anniversary of CBS News Sunday Morning Was Premiered Back in 1979 On January 28th Am I 💯 Agreed
❤👋😎❤😊😊❤😂
This is the very first episode without nature? Why without nature?
I think it's because they were trying to get viewers accustomed to what Sunday Morning would be like from then forward (1/28/79), and nature was not a part of the recipe yet (it would eventually be, though, IIRC).
I think that story about the Bald Eagles would qualify for "nature". . .
0:13
They don't make shows like this anymore and it really saddens me. Everything is politics anymore.
A CBS Sunday Morning without nature (Nature-less) because it's the very first episode, Why there was no nature?
Ya missed the part about the Bald Eagle ? ? .
I used to really like Kuralt when he was on that show. Still, after he died, and it turned out that for many years he had a wife in New York and a "second family" in Montana, my opinion of him took a major nosedive.
There's always one who brings up a persons faults.
@@NoName-ch1oc And it doesn't matter what race, or religion, or political party-- someone will always be judgmental of someone else; it's the way of the world!
There's no "Saturday".
Can anybody explain why there's no "Saturday?"
When CBS changed the name of the morning news show to (insert day of the week here) Morning, there was no Saturday show due to Saturday morning cartoons. Before CBS News Sunday Morning, there were no other morning news shows other than Face The Nation, Meet The Press, and the predecessor to This Week on ABC, Issues & Answers. Those often aired later in the morning. Now there are Saturday morning news shows and Sunday morning news shows. FTN/MTP/TWWIGS now air immediately after.
Saturday morning on the three networks that existed at that time was exclusively used for children's shows. No room on the schedule for a 90-minute adult news program. The closest things were the brief In the News segments CBS ran which were written and produced for kids. Wish CBS would upload those in full quality.
Too bad there was no way to include the original commercials, which would have completed the mood.
What did you mean by "children's shows" and "adult news program"?
Scooby dooby do where are you?
There is such a thing as “CBS Saturday Morning” since 1996-97 season, since expanding the schedule of children’s programming 5 hours to 3, and still, currently, keeping it that way.

With Jane Pauley and the propping up of a lost and confused Hillary - I am saying goodbye to what used to be a wonderful program like others in the MSM and especially at CBS they have lost their way
blah blah blah
