So a new car cost as much as a new house? I was born in 1961.

Thank you for these obscurities. Never knew Barbara Stanwyck had a series before "The Big Valley". I had always assumed landing her had been a coup for ABC. Guess she had herself on the market for a while. Learn something new every day.

My parents weren't mint to be parents.

Pity the girl was a baddie!

Captain....we've just entered a space anamoly... What do we do?

Thanks, Fred! I remember The Deputy, The Westerner, and Sugarfoot. I guess my dad was into TV westerns back then.

Omg how horrendous the duck and cover song sounds so pleasant I always thought drills under the desk was stupid as if - how will that protect anyone?

I guess I'm now amazed at how ubiquitous TV was involved in shaping the culture that was shared by us all, but then I'm amazed when I fly that technology can put a weighty object in the air and have it fly across the country

My favorite was Saturday morning 😊

Ah the power of the toonforce is indeed impressive

The Vast Wasteland.

BT - EXPRESS IN 2024 !!!!!!!!!

Nixon Quit, Too Bad Trump Won't

Somehow the version of what I watch doesn't have after credit scenes by Rod Sterling. Why is that?

I remember all except the president. But I probably watched it.

Fkn spoiled peasants we were 😅😅😅

ok...clearly not born in the 1950s or 1960s due to me being a gen z but that super 6 cartoon is where i met the dfe-films logo

No matter the language - Monty Python and the Holy Grail always brings the laughs.

Great job as usual, Fred! 1:10 - Barbara Stanwyck's show was on NBC Thursday nights at 10 PM ET. 4:00 - I recognize Johnny Olson's voice there. 6:06 - Beaver Cleaver's teacher as a "smooth little con artist"?!? :) 8:28 - MICHAEL SHAYNE was on NBC, not ABC. Gary Clarke was also a regular on this series, and I was fortunate enough to speak w/ him a few times and have him sign his picture in the TVG 1960-61 Fall Preview. 10:10 - Shlrley Temple's show was also on NBC. ABC never would've broadcast it in color back then, as it was unaffordable and a lot of the network's affiliates could not yet broadcast in color. I bought a number of these on DVD, and I enjoyed seeing Shirley Temple playing aduit roles, even a witch once.

6:30- Chris Bearde, co-producer of the original "SONNY & CHER COMEDY HOUR", said this about her solo series: *"It was like seeing Abbott without Costello."*

Always love your videos Fred😊

We'd hear much more from Jerry Paris and Herbert Rudley later in the 1960s...

The Deputy ran on COZI-Tv around 8 or 9 years ago weekday mornings. Good show.

Thanks Freddy!

Rodan was such an underrated monster.....👍

Damn.....I'm old.

I DISAGREE, MICHAEL MANIA WAS THE BIGGEST

A year and several months before my time, some of these TV shows, no matter if they were short lived or had a few good seasons, always seemed to have great animation in their opening credits, and Warner Brothers Television, when they were under William Orr's direction, must have hired a fantastic illustrator for their series.

Loved the old Raid ad at the beginning. My brother would imitate the ad with "Me Raid. You bug. Spsssssss!" Getting worried since I didn't recognize any show until you got to Riverboat and Sugarfoot. Dad introduced us to Red Skelton and Jackie Gleason at this time. Still quality Fred material.

I saw a couple of episodes of The Deputy. Not bad but the soundtrack was kind of a hip jazz beat unlike most other westerns. Shotgun Slade had a similar soundtrack. Didn't seem to fit, at least not to me.

Fred, watching your offerings, makes for such an easy transition to a less harried period. You're one of the best, Fred. Next stop, Willoughby.

Hi, Fred: I hope that the Barbara Stanwyck show gave a nice side to her. I always found her to be a really tough cookie which is not nice to bite into. There is one movie where, even though she was still 'that type of person', she was actually beautiful for once. The movie Night To Remember with Fred MacMurray is very good. You're dating me, Fred; I've never heard of that infernal Dante or any of the others except for perhaps Riverboat. Even when one can't remember, the feel and style is nostalgic; thank you for another good video.

I was born that year, tv was like my babysitter, huge glass ashtrays smoldering with cigarettes and dark shadows, batman, Bullwinkle. How lucky I was.

Thank you Fred! All new info for me! Seeing Mr Burt Reynolds was lovely! LoL!❤

Ok, let's go. Guest Ward Ho! and the theme song (surprise!); Hong Kong (me and most things Oriental) 🤷🏽‍♀️; The Man from Interpol (basically that earth globe turning, the drums and nothing much) ... and Sugarfoot (who always drank "zarzaparrilla") plus the theme song (are you for real, ma'am? 🤦🏽‍♀️) that came in one take out of God knows where.🎶🎵🎶 Nice, Fred. 💜🤟

"kills bugs dead" is redundant. If you kill something, how can it not be dead? I never heard of these shows, with the possible exception of Shirley Temple. The announcer at 4:20 sounds familiar. Don Pardo? Love the look back, Fred.

Remember a few names, for the rest was it kindergarten time lol and no tv jet.

The America I once knew is gone. Replaced by horrific immorality and COMMUNISM!

I wonder how many young girls name their babies Brandy

Another excellent job, Fred. Even as a classic TV buff, I hadn’t heard of many of these shows. Real second stringers! 😆

Not long before I was a gleam in my Daddy's eye! Hahaha!

Thx Fredflix from 1960🗽 📺

Thanks Fred 👍

Another good one, Fred.....I have always loved the commercials and the announcer's voices of that period....." brought to you by..."

3:58- "GLENN MILLER TIME" was seen on *Monday* nights at 10pm(et) as the 1961 summer replacement for Jackie Cooper's "HENNESSY".

I See You Did One For The Old Folks! I Was Only Three In '61, So I Didn't Remember Much But I Sure Enjoyed Watching It. Thank You.

8:50 THE FLINTSTONES debuted this season, and on PETER LOVES MARY you could see as well as hear Fred Flintstone and Betty Rubble...Alan Reed and Bea Benaderet co-starred.

5:00 The two Marks would again be father and son in 1965 on PLEASE DON'T EAT THE DAISIES
