Channeling 1967 TV (with rare promos, sponsor tags, commercials & more)

[@riffdigger2133]

Great year 1967. Music, hippies, acid rock, Cream, Hendrix. Then we settled in front of our TV sets, mostly B&W to see the advent of color and what Hollywood scriptwriters would feed us. The faces, the styles, those product commercials. For a kid in grade 6, the cartoons were still interesting but Lost In Space, Man From Uncle, StarTrek, these were big deals. The Avengers out of the UK were over my head and paygrade. End of my channeling. Thx for a great montage!

[@hasannaomir.3037]

Thank you so very much for these. I was born in 1969. I can remember stuff from 1972-73. Some of these were still on. Yay!!!! Black and White TV. Oooh, the extra touch of the hard click of the TV dial. Quality control for babies so parents could control what we were watching while momma was doing housework. Memories.

[@FredFlix]

Glad you enjoyed it, HNR.

[@brendaproffitt8520]

wow awesome t.v.show clips wonderful commercials too thank you

[@kerryincolumbus]

Hi Fred.. truthfully, I honestly think THIS video is the best of the bunch! just awesome!

[@FredFlix]

Thanks. Actually, when I send a friend a sample video, this is the one I choose. So we both have excellent taste. :-)

[@steph48105]

great channel. your streams popped up on my flat screen so I had to go to utube to look you upo aand subscribe.. and really great chices of music on your yearly vids

[@FredFlix]

Thanks for subscribing, Steph, and I appreciate the comment.

[@TimelordR]

Not all memories of '67 were pleasant ones. There was the tragic accident that took the lives of 3 US astronauts that year. Thanks for sharing the memories.

[@TheChuck624]

Right, that was a real bummer. I have other memories of the late 60's that weren't very special either. A couple of the older neighbor boys had been drafted and were sent to Nam. I recall one of their mothers sitting in our kitchen smoking cigarettes, drinking coffee and crying to my mother about her son being sent over there. He was also not the same when he came back either. I also recall a few of the kids a few blocks away getting killed in a car accident by a drunk truck driver and how it seemed like most of the kids in my neighborhood parents were getting divorced. No, the late 60's weren't all that great in a lot of ways.

[@riffdigger2133]

TheChuck624 Yes, and there was a 4th astronaut in the Apollo 1 module that also burned to death and his name has never been released. I interviewed John Lear personally after he stated it on Project Camelot in 2009.

[@samuelparker9882]

Not to mention the excessive overt racism in the world then. And nothing has CHANGED about that.

[@geo386]

Fredflix, your awesome! Digging the bumpers and color shows.

[@FredFlix]

Those bumpers and promos are the things you seldom find in syndicated reruns or on DVD. So, I mine for them as if they were gold nuggets.

[@lindaaumiller174]

I love your channel and thank you for the memories

[@AGENTORANGE007]

Great Stuff!!!....Man...that was a LONG Time ago. Thanks for posting.

[@klbax63]

Damn that 67 Dodge Dart was sweet I bet it came off the lot for about $2,400

[@OldsVistaCruiser]

I had a base '67 Dart coupe with a Slant Six and a 3-on-the-tree. It would chirp 2nd gear because of the torque inherent in an inline six. It passed PA emissions for a brand-new 1988 car! Unfortunately, the front left torsion bar mount rusted away.

[@FeetInAustin]

this channel is amazing!!!

[@FredFlix]

Thanks. I try to keep things interesting.

[@bigalexg]

7:20 that sweet, sweet Avengers theme.

[@zaq55]

June Lockhart and TV daughters in their silver space suits @ 10:11. Yowsers!

[@signal11000]

Talk about highs and lows Great video, with a very sobering conclusion

[@hankaustin7091]

Someone said this in earlier comments and I echo it completely! "Hi Fred.. truthfully, I honestly think THIS video is the best of the bunch! just awesome!"

[@FredFlix]

That's why I made it my channel trailer, Hank. I figure if someone doesn't like this, they might as well move on. I appreciate your comment.

[@Sincopare]

I remember when a special news bulletin came on it was usually a 'hold your breath' moment. Well done ending, sir.

[@theboredprogrammer1114]

that NBC week promotion looks so aesthetically pleasing....the whole video is amazing and too bad I was born in the early 90s, missed the 60s-80s

[@itiswhatitaintanditaintwha1427]

The year I was born! Or in TV talk...'Premiered'!

[@kyokogodai-ir6hy]

I was only 2 years old that year. Ma used to smoke Pall Mall's. Great stuff!

[@gardensofthegods]

When I was a little kid I loved watching Green Hornet on Saturdays I had a crush on Bruce Lee... I was a little girl my mom and sisters went down to Atlantic City Steel Pier to see Diana Ross and The Supremes ..it was standing room only and I felt like I was suffocating ..sometimes I couldn't see them.. by the end of the concert I was blacking out .. We watched the Monkees they had a few good songs.. but we knew they weren't The Beatles and by the time the monkeys came out that sound was sort of going out of style. A number of these shows we used to watch.. in a way it was great to be a kid in the sixties but it was also a strange time with a lot of violence, and the war.. and assassinations

[@TheChuck624]

Another great job. We didn't like Bat Girl and I'm fairly certain whoever wrote the awful theme song for it was fired.

[@allenjones3130]

I liked Yvonne Craig(may Heaven rest her soul) as Batgirl, but it's obvious that she was added to the cast of "Batman" in an unsuccessful attempt to boost sagging ratings.

[@bigalexg]

Gawd what an awful theme. I thought it was a joke at first. Something a variety show would have thrown together as a parody.

[@twold4this]

This channel is the bees - knees!

[@FredFlix]

Ha! I hope it's peachy keen as well.

[@johnholbert5818]

This really brings back fond memories of classic television and not the junk they are showing today television has lost a lot of pizazz and creativity.

[@pastorearl1]

Fred, this was amazing! I had not seen a promo before for the second season of Avengers (I think it was second, it was the first in color) and intro to Star Trek with Apollo 1 updates.

[@FredFlix]

Thanks. I try to make the kind of videos I would like to see. I know there are a lot of people with the same fond memories. But, as you've noticed, I prefer to use little-seen promos rather than standard TV themes, which almost everyone has seen.

[@Robby4291]

A wonderful idea...keep it up!

[@hankaustin7091]

and Fred, we certainly appreciate that! I've said it before, gonna say it again.. your videos are the BEST!

[@maggdoodle]

My husband and I love your stuff - we worked in TV for a long time (my husband very long). If you ever run across the old Steven HIll TD Waterhouse ads (and they are impossible to find) please consider throwing them into something. I loved them and would love to see them again. Thanks!

[@FredFlix]

I'll look and thanks for watching, maggdoodle. What did you two do in TV and where?

[@maggdoodle]

@@FredFlix I was in promotion (WTVF, WSPA, WLKY, KCRG and a temp assignment with WSAV). Hubby was in Engineering with WDEF (radio), WSPA TV, WNGE, WKRN, KGBT, WTOC and finally VP/Engineering (regional emmy award winner) WHBQ. He's the one with the most experience and turned me on to your vidoes. We know most of the shows and themes (he was big into knowing and cataloguing the various show and network themes). In fact we often try to outguess each other on obscure ones - he usually wins. He's a wealth of knowledge. As for the TD spots - I've found one where Hill is sitting at a desk with the "circus/fortune teller" comment but none of the rest. Some of the best were his walk and talks (and his "chapeau"). Either way - we really enjoy and appreciate your videos and the memories they give us!

[@williamdwyer5439]

I always had a crush on Diana Rig, from the Avengers. British TV at its sexiest!

[@ZnenTitan]

William Dwyer yah, a crush that could flatter a '67 Caddie with all the options. She had more style than anything out there now, that's for sure.

[@ajivins1]

Ever see 'A Touch of Brimstone'..?

[@tmcge3325]

I watched everyone of these tv shows when I was a kid.

[@deannewilliams6897]

You must have had lenient parents. I wasn’t allowed anywhere near that much TV !

[@sanmichele5395]

I believe that the opening theme to "The Green Hornet" was performed by Al Hirt.

[@johnaclipper1660]

RIP Robert vaugh

[@luisreyes1963]

A tribute to Robert Vaughn aka Napoleon Solo. 🔎

[@jonm7989]

Does anyone else realize that those kids in the Pepsi commercial are now in their 70s?

[@DTD110865]

"Thursday's Girls" were cute, especially the latter of the three. Did anybody win that Cool Whip contest, and which episode of Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C. did they appear on?

[@NanaD-ve9tt]

I was born in 1971 these videos are a nice break from all the terrible stuff going on and just allows my mind to be free from a world with no coronavirus no rioting etc etc. everything just seemed a lil bit simpler less hectic idk. Maybe because we didn’t have social media and things just weren’t on our minds and in our faces as much. Whatever the reason idk ? I really enjoy these videos for the time I’m taken back . 😊

[@FredFlix]

Glad you do, Donna.

[@derikdragon80]

Before Zorak got hit with'em every other week, everything else felt the force of Space Ghost's power bands.

[@allenjones3130]

I liked Space Ghost's teenage sidekick Jan. She was such a cutie.

[@kenrozmislowicz1635]

I wonder who the lucky winner was that won a date with Yvonne Craig

[@wcrader60]

I wonder who the lucky winner was who got to appear on "Gomer Pyle, USMC."

[@dosmundos3830]

i could watch this stuff all day

[@aaardvarkkk]

Ha! Cool. I have 3 Dodge Darts. All 1969's. Same body as the '67.

[@mothertree]

wow..I had one a 340 4 spd 3.91...what a great running car...ultimate cruise with a dose of GO

[@awickedtribe]

Bruce Lee beating up Gene Lebell, that's a fun way to start this.

[@jimwest850]

Wow you got it right the great Gene lebell !!!

[@OsbornTramain]

Yep, okay, we're all set...sorry to be that way...but I'm a collector and buy the film, restore it and then upload it...hence the trademark...that I really protect...thanks for the response, very much appreciated....didn't want to make it a bigger problem. Had to get someone removed recently.

[@NoosaHeads]

Maybe not perfect but way better than we experience in today's muddled, angry, dysfunctional, confused and divided society. Just my opinion but there weren't social justice warriors in those days and life was better for their absence.

[@carlosphillips8447]

Amazing how the mind can work great video

[@3912James]

My birth year. :-)

[@michaelodonnell9756]

Now that I think about it, what kind of motorcycle did they use during the episodes that Batgirl appeared in? Just curious. 🤔

[@hiridavidfeign]

What I wouldn't give to see a Lost In Space episode where the family beats Dr. Smith to death with a shovel and ejects him into the blackness of space lol.

[@jhs517]

Was the NBC Week promo from 1968?

[@FredFlix]

Perhaps. But it serves its purpose.

[@fromthesidelines]

It aired a few weeks before "NBC Week" began on September 10, 1967. That was network's 1967-'68 schedule.

[@williambabyak1094]

Any hope of digging up an advert from NBC plugging THE SAINT with (the late) Roger Moore?

[@charles2241]

Too bad The Green Hornet never really took off, as it's so much fun watching Kato get at it. It was the serious side that Batman rarely if ever took on. I have to wonder how well GH would had done had Batman never came to be. We might had seen both series run at least 3 years had it been that GH started first. I cannot remember the show too well, but I'll bet GH and Kato never got a long object between them, say a hatrack, and the crooks lined up in a row so they could knock them all down in one blow (as Batman and Robin seemed to do this every episode). Nope, when you have Kato you can have serious pretend fighting.

[@markmachado2634]

I want some johnny quest and hadji

[@COBOLMan888]

I was just a kid then, but the 60's were the best. No stupid political correctness, just great TV fun. What the heck has happened to us?

[@daviddavenport1485]

JOIN THE DODGE REBELLION!

[@kballenger53ify]

WOW!!! I Was Living In Flushing, NY When These Shows Came Out! Great Memories!!! ❤️

[@TJCals]

"Void in Wisconsin", lol.

[@kaiaxelmorgan6782]

0:51 🎵Standing Here, I realize, You just like me trying to make history. From Trust to Juge, From Right to Wrong. Let the goddess down, and we both agree, that violence breeds violence, but in the end, it has to be this way.🎵

[@kaiaxelmorgan6782]

The song that I referenced is "It has to be this way" from Metal Gear Rising: Revenance

[@kaiaxelmorgan6782]

I was born on June 16th 2005, and I wasn't excited at the time and the reference came out in 2013, which doesn't make sense.

[@TheCombatartist]

That was an odd way to end. It was rather enjoyable up till the ending...

[@williamfrankmason1983]

Batgirl

[@cantsay]

13:30 that stunt she pulls proved the past is the worst: slide down the railing. Seems simple, but she was doing her own stunt, was way above the round without fall protection, amd she could gave broken her neck! I bet the producers didn't give a crap about her safety, as was normal in the past.

[@SuperTony1968]

ABC TV Should’ve Gave Batgirl Her Own Series Like NBC Did With The Girl From U.N.C.L.E. Now The Ratings That’s Another Story.

[@fromthesidelines]

13:07- January 27, 1967

[@dougbrowne9890]

Ma smoked Pall Mall's. I understand that it was one of the strongest cigarettes one could buy. Based on the smoke billowing out of them, I believe it.

[@FlavioGirl]

r.i.p. davey and peter :(

[@susanfaulkner2304]

I had a crush on Peter Tork. There, I said it.

I SPY... I hope you all realize WHO the Blonde Dude was

[@aevelynmoose609]

He's STILL on TV Today. BUT he's on a Very POPULAR TV SHOW TODAY

[@Avatar610]

What? No "Dark Shadows" or "Peyton Place"? Shame, shame, shame!

[@johnnylah5058]

Ha! Batman was fat 😂 1:30

[@christianweber2334]

Diana Rigg!

[@Mandi7882]

I know I am going to get 'sticks and stones" for this but I DISLIKED "Bat girl". She was more of an interruption than an integral part of the program...and yes I'm a girl and the 'lie' was that she was there for the girl viewers. Let me clear that up: NO she wasn't. I was looking at the men and it was fine right until then! :)

[@MerleOberon]

Where's He & She?

[@FredFlix]

My Channeling videos aren't comprehensive, they're just a "fly-by," if you will of what it was like to watch TV that year.
