Was there. Racing my gt350. Bob Trudell

Great cklw

1961 da war ich elf Jahre alt - meine erste Farbglotze kaufte ich 1972, ein Saba Monogerät. Verdammt lange her!

Black and white or color tv, me and my family liked we had television

My Dad LOVED television, and I think despite having to make many payments we always had the cutting edge ... including color TV in I think in 1967. It continued to his passing in 2021, as I stared at his 80-inch screen in the living room. RIP,

Nice commercial! From back in the day, when RCA was top of the line.

Oy vey! More than 5 minutes. Can you imagine ?

I clearly recall a parody of these ads, I cannot recall on which radio station: “ Wednesday, Wednesday!! Wednesday afternoon at Ferndale reservoir! See Van Patrick jump into the water AND SEE THE WATER JUMP OUT OF THE RESERVOIR!! WEDNESDAY, Wednesday…

I remember when having a color television was a status symbol

They did get a beautiful picture if you kept it serviced.

Top song but not a patch on thin lizzy version, rip Phil 😢

Still have my trophies that I won there.

Just for the rich, back in 61 there probably wasn't more than a handful of shows in color .

I want to go back!!!

Incredible upload. Thank you!

OH GOODNESS....THIS IS SOOOOOO GOOD!!!!!!THANK YOU BABY!!!!!AHHHHH❤😂❤😂❤😂❤😂❤😂❤❤❤❤😂 ..YOU 😊

We got a color RCA TV a year after this, for Christmas 1962. It didn't look like the one in this film, but it did have the same remote. Unfortunately, despite how wonderful the remote sounds here, it never worked very well. It was easier and faster to just go up to the set itself and do it that way - and you had to adjust the color and tint every time a new color program started. Not that there were very many of them then, since only NBC was showing color then.

I think my grand parents had one like this , but thought they had a remote ? I might be thinking of a color set they had in the early 70's .

Ha! I have all six of those cars.😁

The opening looks like Adventure Through Inner Space that Disneyland used to have.

During the world Fair of 1962 in NYC. I remember a show boot that has color TV from U.S.A.. The set cost $800.00 and Black and White 14" cost close to $200.00. My mother brought 14" Sylvania Portable with her whole month salary as a nurse in 1962.

Is that voiceover announcer wearing loose dentures? He sure has sybillant S's. Weird accent too.

Wow that was something I had no idea I’ve been listening to this since it was new catchy song too

Ah, color tv back then! Much bulkier, and more expensive than we have now. With a much wider, stylistic array of real-wood-work-of-art cabinets, that qualify as unique and beautiful furniture in the modern age! And the circuit of each, was a unique, memorizing puzzle of analog wizardry!

I have always wondered who Rosalie is? I hear she has a page on Facebook but I am wondering if she is a real person. And I also wonder if CKLW placed their transmitter on the Canadian Side of the US border. XROK 80 in EL Paso TX placed their transmitter on the Mexican side of the US Border with EL Paso TX. Why?? The Mexican government had lower restrictions on the wattage radio stations could use to transmit. Hell I do not know but I love song anyway.

Grande Bob seger desde,,,,,,,,, chile,,,,,,,, Miguel Zuñiga lnostroza, fans número

what was the price for this in 1961??

Love the narrator's accent. "Toin on the set and adjust the coluh"

My Dad didn't buy a color TV until 1975. He kept saying he was waiting until they perfected them. He bought an RCA color cabinet model set and the picture tube went out after a few years.

my childhood was consumed listening to this channel.

RCA Pioneered the color tv System yrs ago . RCA also use to own NBC .

アメリカはスゲーな…日本じゃ50年くらい前にズバコンとかいうロータリーチャンネルを変えるだけのリモコンがやっと出たのに(家電量販店でそれでガチャガチャチャンネル変えると怒られた)

Good ol' Dudley. Kind of him to bring breakfast.

These old tvs look like furniture more than a tv

Pushing the companion button and an escort will be knocking on your door. Get ready for those hours of pleasure.

$699.95

It would be interesting to know what that TV set sold for in 1961, and what that price translates to in 2023 dollars.

My Boss sgt Corliss in Royal oak fire dept said that season would take his cars out in the middle of the night to test the car out. Mike wasn’t a bull shyte r That’s the motor city for you it was ground zero for hot fodders Ace Wilson Pontiac great place to be during those good ole days

RCA now totally SUCKS..

Interesting shape of screen. How many people had color TV back in 1961? How many shows or programs were broadcast in color? I'm guessing not many to both questions. We personally didn't get a color set til the early seventies.

That was pretty advanced, most remote controlled sets back then had power, volume and channel, that's it.

this the first time that Bullwinkle and Dudley do right have interacted with each other.

I lived in Port Clinton, Ohio and we always had CKLW, 50,000 WATTS coming over lake Erie 60's and 70's. Great Memories.

Lovely stuff! 🙂

Those CRT TVs used a lot of electricity at the time. When energy was cheap. You might want to think twice. Using that TV today. When you get your electric bill.

Growing up in Lincoln Park, and going to the Lincoln Park show to see Bob Seger, Amboy Dukes, and such, then hearing them on the radio was the coolest thing back in the beginning. Been all around the country, Detroit out rocks everybody!!

They were trying to sell the tv or the remote? (that’s quite the remote)😂 That wasn’t a commercial, it was a mini movie

The picture on the TV is not real. It's a matte image made in post-production. The commercial is done in 24 fps film whereas television is (approx.) 30 fps and incompatible. In those days, if you actually filmed the image of a TV set, you'd get gray horizontal lines moving vertically across the picture on the screen.

What was the price on this thing if you adjust for inflation? Im guessing at least $4000

It's interesting how the guy doing the voiceover has a very noticeable regional accent
