24 NEW SHOWS OF FALL TV 1968

All the series intros except for a missing few represented by clips or promos instead. Although, it looks like after the fact that I forgot to include the Blondie intro. Oh, well, KZbin has it elsewhere, just type in 'Blondie 1968' and it'll pop up.

[@RJS1974]

When I was a kid we all would get very excited for the new Fall tv shows. In those days, the TV Guide was in every household and you couldn’t wait to get the issue that previewed all the new shows. With only three channels everyone was usually watching the same popular programs and it brought people together.

[@luissantiago8446]

Yup! TV Guide had a prominent place on the coffee table in the living room.

[@marlenebrown2634]

My favorites were The Ghost and Mrs. Muir and Here Come The Brides. I have to point out that the first season of Here Come The Brides only had a musical theme song. The song lyrics came in the second season. I was so disappointed when Brides was canceled after only 2 seasons! Most young girls liked Bobby Sherman whereas I had eyes only for Robert Brown. What a hunk he was!❤I also had a huge crush on Edward Mulhare in The Ghost And Mrs. Muir. I liked older men! 😀

Hawaii 5-0' opening is truly a work of art.

[@merriemisfit8406]

It's a master course in how to really make a viewer want to stop and check out the program. I'd say it was worth every dollar they spent on it. I mean -- over fifty years later and we don't need to watch this video to remember the opening to Hawaii Five-O, do we!

I was both places in 1968, although quite young. I would say to pick Los Angeles.

Nostalgia is a disease. It is insidious in that it is both self indulgence and self flagellation at the same time. Live for the moment. Don't wallow in the warmth memories long past, make yourself warm with new experiences. Memories should have a self imposed shelf life. Art Buchwald had a great quote about nostalgia..."We seem to be going through a period of nostalgia, and everyone seems to think yesterday was better than today. I don't think it was, and I would advise you not to wait ten years before admitting today was great. If you're hung up on nostalgia, pretend today is yesterday and just go out and have one hell of a time.”

Journey To The Unknown was a British made tv series concentrating on the super natural and the unknown, hence the title.

The opening credits on these shows, even the bad ones, are phenomenal!

[@waldoparsnip1025]

I remember Hawaii 5-0 co-stars ,, Kam Fong as Chin Ho , and Zulu as Kono !

I remember a comedian at the time asking "why did the producers bother giving them names? What was wrong with just using their real names?"

'Tu Kan Chu' Hawaii 6-9

Kam Fong as Chin Ho, I never got that one 😮

Mod Squad, Hawaii 5-0, Name of the game some great TV theme songs

[@roryschweinfurter4111]

On the drive between SF & LA there's a radio station that plays only TV theme songs. It's always fun trying to which songs go with which show

THANK YOU for bringing back one of the BEST eras of my childhood...It was an AWSUM Time

[@thejupiter2574]

WOW I wish that I could just Time Travel, go back and stay while remembering all events that took place since these shows were on the air. Many fun TV shows but I can't yet enjoy the nostalgia of them because I used to watch these with my parents and other relatives and they are all gone now. I loved many of the TV shows in the 60's n 70's but now associate them all with my parents and watching them all as a family.

[@JeffFrmJoisey]

THANKS!!! Brings back memories of 7th grade in an NYC suburb!!! I remember most of the shows replayed here!! For some odd reason, I seem to also be remembering what day of the week, what network and what time these shows aired!! Just another example of being "A virtual cesspool of useless knowledge!!"

[@DavidBDavis-lz7bt]

Or an embarrassment of riches!😃

[@vgrandy95]

Wow that really brought back a lot of good memories. Thanks for sharing

[@stuartdryer1352]

Some classic cop shows that year.

[@scottm8579]

Adam-12 was my favorite show as a 3-6 year old. That and Emergency! I miss the earlier years when 60 Minutes was a cool news program. Now it's a joke.

[@vickiebohy1742]

Yes. Leans too far left.

[@cityhawk]

@@vickiebohy1742Why do you think it leans too far left?

[@jeffw1267]

​@cityhawk Because she has eyes and ears. Back in the 60s, we had limousine liberals trying to tell us how to think. Then as now.

[@grittykitty50]

OK, I enjoyed this WAAAAY too much. So many of these shows I could call the title with the first few notes of the intro.

[@eeeecccc]

My parents told me at 2 years old I was dancing to the Hawaii 5 O song.

" A man like Wallace is these 3 things, he's brilliant , he's daring , he's imaginative" they sure as fuck cannot be talking about Mike Wallace .

[@lauradaly8020]

At that time, when single moms were shown on TV, they were all widows.

[@JESUSISLORDforever888]

Laura Daly Yep. They sure were or DIVORCEES whose husbands walked out on them for a younger woman.

[@MuzixMaker]

Single fathers were widows as well

[@robrepublic1]

At 11 years of age my two biggest crushes that year were Doris Day and Dianne Carroll and sadly they both passed away this year.

[@GirlWithAnOpinion]

Wow! What a fantastic season! I remember most of these and loved them!

[@DavidBDavis-lz7bt]

Great harmonies on the theme for The New Adventures of Huckleberry Finn! Robert Morse of That's Life is still working today. He's the voice of Santa Claus on Teen Titans Go!("Merry Christmas, you terrible children!").😀

[@bogusbill488]

Remember him as Bert Cooper in "Mad Men?"

[@DavidBDavis-lz7bt]

I must confess--I never watched Mad Men. I may be one of the few who didn't. But I did see it listed on his filmography on Wikipedia.😃

[@dirtydave2691]

Adam 12 was the coolest. We had a Sheriffs Deputy that patrolled my neighborhood we called Adam 12. He jumped his car off some cement stairs chasing some hippies one day!

[@lp-xl9ld]

These may not have been the greatest TV shows ever but they certainly had some of the best opening sequences ever--HAWAII FIVE-O was rated the 4th best theme song ever by the writers of TV: THE BOOK. Keeping that music was the *one* thing the remake got right.

[@Bwilliams2]

The ONLY thing the remake got right.

[@MrTrashcan1]

I watched Julia. Do not remember those opening credits or that theme. Wonder if they were changed at some time during the run.

[@GoGreen1977]

1968 was a horrible year in so many ways, but some of these shows were great. Loved Hawaii 5-0, especially.

[@slimshine953]

GoGreen1977 ~ Yes a lot of awful and unfortunate events occurred in '68. Violence, civil unrest, high crime, rioting, war, political upheaval, assassinations... it was the most tumultuous year of the decade, and even into the 70s. At the same time it was also a fabulous year for culture. Music, film, television, art, literature, design were all thriving, and booming with excitement and unprecedented, prolific creativity. What a year!

[@fredlawson9394]

The only thing good about 68 was TV & music.

[@bubbastill2040]

Yes, remember getting excited & eager to see the new shoes. No vhs recordings yet, no dvds, no recording & choosing what to watch over
