King Family Premiere

[@jubalcalif9100]

Wonderful memories of my 60s childhood. THANK YOU for uploading! My family sometimes watched this show on Saturday nights but almost always watched 2 other Saturday night programs on the same network (ABC), The Lawrence Welk Show & The Hollywood Palace.

Alright ! I’ll spend Saturday nite with y’all. When I was growing up my family never missed this show. Now I’m older than the hills and I love these videos.

I really miss those wonderful Saturday nights with the King Family! TV at its very best!

[@jubalcalif9100]

ABC had a pretty good Saturday night prime time lineup back then (which included this show with the King Family, The Lawrence Welk Show & The Hollywood Palace).

[@curtchildress7160]

What a fun clip! Please bring us more!

[@jubalcalif9100]

I heartily concur !

[@nancyramsey3965]

Fabulous Family!! Incredible memories to treasure forever. Thank you so much for sharing. As a young girl, I remember watching your family while creating wonderful memories with mine! More popcorn please!

[@AustinButler462]

Love these videos

[@timothyhesselink6709]

Cam I met you and your family in the70s 69 maybe. I remember Robert Clark

[@jubalcalif9100]

I too remember Robert Clarke from his movie roles in the 40s & 50s and his many 60s & 70s TV guest appearances. And he was a regular on a late 70s/early 80s syndicated faith-based series called "Westbrook Hospital" which was produced by Faith for Today" (a ministry of the Seventh Day Adventist Church). A real class act!

This takes wholesome to a whole new level.

So nice of Bing Crosby to introduce the Kings!

[@MrPerryGrant]

Wonderful!

[@tamarahaislip1730]

How many of the shows are on DVD or videos? Y'all were a staple in our house. I couldn't wait till it came on TV. I was small when y'all were on. But couldn't get enough. Where would I be able to purchase all this shows.

What a nice story

[@fromthesidelines]

Originally telecast on January 23, 1965 (replacing "THE OUTER LIMITS").

[@SweeetSue]

My childhood.....💕💕💕

[@jv-ep2tc]

for you kids out there: that guy at 1:37 was doing something called the frug. pronounced froog.

[@jubalcalif9100]

Groovy !!

[@bobbyb.6644]

The best of times ! Division of country hadn’t started yet?

[@wylmaharmon4412]

Disagree with you but I enjoyed the King Family immensely.

[@dunning234]

That is a big family.

[@jubalcalif9100]

As Snagglepuss would say, "Indubitably!" And with a whole lotta talent!

[@trenhex]

Really interesting

[@cameronjr8]

Hi! I subscribed you.

[@victorialouden1912]

sorry I missed Saturday night.

[@davidgibson7615]

One of the King Cousins, Tina Cole became best known as Robbie's wife "My Three Sons"

[@jubalcalif9100]

Really! Til now I never knew she was a member of the King family! Thanx for that tantalizing bit o' trivia!

[@supermilkshake6745]

Liquid!

[@lanceleggins4118]

It's like Happy Days .

[@Avatar610]

OMG- it looked like for a moment Ric though he was on "Shindig"! BTW, is the original "The Family is King" special still around?

[@jackcarr6686]

Are these the sons and daughters of Big Boss? *I know there not*

[@SimirJohnson]

Sorry. I already have plans

[@Mangoles]

A nice model imo

[@danielszemborski]

It's only Wednesday 😭

[@spooky3120]

Many now dead in the box.

[@jubalcalif9100]

Well, considering that series is almost 60 years old, that makes sense.

[@rickdagger2209]

Was there ever a time when this was considered entertainment. Not my cup of tea. I'm not putting it down I just can't relate to this.

[@SweeetSue]

I see you're a musician. What if someone went on your page and said that about you ?

[@rickdagger2209]

@@SweeetSue in my post I made it abundantly clear that I was not putting the king family down but rather that their art form was not to my liking and I stand by that statement. I will also point out that I find exploiting young children in a family band somewhat distasteful. For whatever it's worth I have had more than my share negative comments on my videos over the years. I was hacked several times and I was also the victim of an internet slander campaign due to my politics. The point that I'm making is that if something can't hold up to a bit of scrutiny it's probably crap. This form of entertainment portrayed an America that never existed. All white perky and pretty. I will also point out that this type of entertainment was very much out of Step artistically speaking with what else was going on during those years. I guess these people missed the whole social Revolution while they were busy shopping for matching outfits and matching haircuts. It's all just so much milk toast. I would wonder as to how those young children grow up. Hopefully not like the Bing Crosby family. Now he was a real piece of work terrorizing his children so that he could have high ratings. Have a nice day.

[@SweeetSue]

@@rickdagger2209 "Was there ever a time when this was considered entertainment," sounds like a put down to me. People that grew up loving the King Family come here to smile & remember. If you don't like it, go and be positive on the artist's pages you admire.

[@rickdagger2209]

@@SweeetSue " was there ever a time when this was considered entertainment" was meant more as a sociological observation then a direct put-down to either you or your generation. It's not so much about the musicality as it is about the presentation. To my generation this would be akin to you watching a Rob Zombie concert or even a Twisted Sister video. Perhaps you would find it not to your liking. It's all about subjectivity and you cannot quantify subjectivity. Art is supposed to mirror/ reflect culture not dictated it. I'm not critical of you loving the music of the king family. I would not fault you if you thought my videos were pure crap either. However I recognize the fact that music performances anything on KZbin or on social media is subject to both praise and criticism. It all falls under the overall auspices of freedom of thought and expression. I found this video cheesy and frankly silly. Or to put it in the words of your generation I thought it was Square Daddy-O. The Folk music of this era was magnificent as was the rock and roll. Like I said in my original text not my cup of tea. KZbin can get quite nasty I can assure you. I do not think anything I said was particularly outrageous or over the top, it's all part of social media. No personal offense intended. I'm sure you're a very nice person.

[@davidgibson7615]

Me neither. It's pure white bread on the Osmond family side
