This was shown at ABC's annual affiliates convention in the spring of 1964. At 20:59, Gene Barry refers to Tom Moore, the president of ABC at the time. THE most successful new show of the season, at 23:22.
Happy 60th anniversaries of both beautiful witch and her wisecracking mortal husband and an weird but wonderfully oddball family Bewitched and The Addams Family
They needed a different genre theme for each night of the week. For instance, Musical Mondays, Wednesday Westerns, Dramatic Tuesdays & Thursdays, Family Fridays, Sunday Fundays, and Sports Saturdays.
Only three programs were colorcast in prime-time on the network that season: "THE FLINTSTONES", "JONNY QUEST".....and an occasional movie on "THE SUNDAY NIGHT MOVIE" {that preview of their "world premiere" movies [FOR THE FIRST TIME ON TELEVISION!], at 44:15, is omitted from this print}.
The promotion of the "Sunday Night Movie" is rather quaint. The Hollywood studios were just warming up to the idea of allowing the television networks to show fairly recent movies on television. Most didn't want to have anything to do with the medium when it first came about.
It's Michael Rye {Rye Billsbury}, who did a lot of promos for the network at the time. In fact, his was the voice who declared in their color bumpers at the time, "This is an ABC COLOR presentation."
The best TV promo reel I've ever seen in my whole life. Hearing the chorus singing it's not hard to tell why.
Terry Gilliam must have loved this piece of art as well...
Only 3 or 4 channels back them -evdryone watched the same shows & commercials. it was nice.

Without looking I think I know what it is. Something having to do with a pretty woman and her twitchy nose, right? I was right! BEWITCHED!!!
Elizabeth Montgomery
and Bewitched are stand outs in this lineup.

It's ironic they showed the Valentine's Day episode with Anne Francis, the very next season she played Honey West in the same time slot 😔

Look behind Walter Brennan for the tycoon, isn't that the Dick Van Dyke Show House?
I didn’t know The Ambiguously Gay Duo debuted in 1964

So many crap shows but the packaging is so alluring. Typically mid century Americana and I love it.
When WRVA now WWBT was a ABC network affliate
22:50 Anyone know the stock music piece? I swear I've heard it in a French Super Mario All Stars commercial.
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.....Underwater precursor to Star Trek!
I'm wondering if that's William Windom doing the voice over for the Addams Family?

The awful picture quality is not from age. That's just how tv looked back then.
46 that please. And witness the package. As it was. Then. Yeah.
That "Wendy" show looks BEYOND stupid!
