Flashback to 1963 - A Timeline of Life in America

I recall distinctly, as though it occurred yesterday, watching and witnessing the Beatles' American premier on the "Ed Sullivan Show" (Sunday evenings) in early 1964; around the same time Cassius Clay (later known as Muhammed Ali) knocked out Sonny Liston to win the World Heavy-Weight Boxing Championship (Clay was only 21 or 22 years old). Those were heady times, before the country was swirled up in the maelstrom of Vietnam.

What's baffling is that the Beatles' second album released only a few hours before Kennedy was killed

1963 marked the end of TV classics like "Leave it to Beaver," "Hawaiian Eye," "Armstrong Circle Theater," "The Untouchables" and "Have Gun, Will Travel," while new TV classics like "Petticoat Junction," "The Fugitive," and legendary daytimers "General Hospital" and "Let's Make a Deal" all made their debuts.

[@glitchnyrmatrix7296]

I'm pretty sure Hawaiian I was a seventies TV show.

[@1985OldSkool]

@@glitchnyrmatrix7296 Actually, Hawaiian Eye aired on ABC from 1959-63. You must be thinking about Hawaii Five-O (1968-80) over at CBS.

[@michaelwascom62]

I distinctly recall the referenced TV shows that played their "swan song" in 1963. My mother wouldn't let me watch "The Untouchables"; too violent. In the early to mid-1970's I watched reruns of "Untouchables"; enjoyed it but was astonished such a gratuitously violent show would have been allowed in late 1950's/early 1960's. Back then you could not even utter the word "damn" on television! As a side note: many of the TV show "newcomers" in 1962/1963, as well as some longtime mainstays got the same "sweeping out the door" in 1971, when networks purged much of the established programming and replaced it with more libertine content in keeping with relaxed TV standards.

[@michaelwascom62]

I absolutely LOVED "The Rockie and Bullwinkle" Show! Jay Ward was a creative genius; the show was eons ahead of its time. I still enjoy watching the reruns today. R&B was thoroughly infused with double entendre, and appealed to adults as well as kids. I've read that as many asults as kids watched it on Saturday mornings. The show was an hilarious satire on (what was in the early-mid 1960's) contemporary culture. In some ways, it pre-saged "Saturday Night Live" and Britain's "Second City", which came ten years later in the 1970's. Oh! the memories ...

I must have been out sick is all I can think of. These were the days when the father worked and the mother stayed home. My mother was downstairs on the phone talking to her friend, I ran down and told her the news. From then on it was wall to wall Walter Conkrite news overage. The next event was Oswald getting whacked live on TV.

I was ten years old (my birthday) the day Kennedy was assassinated. The entire country shut down, and I was more concerned that my birthday party at the local skating rink would be cancelled. But the roller rink owner told my mother: "No; we all need something to cheer us up today." In summer 1963 my family was on a vacation in Dallas/Fort Worth. We visited Six Flags amusement park, and also drove right by the area in Deely Plaza where the assassination occurred; oblivious to what would would happen in the very location a few months later.

My mom did not drive, she brought our red wagon and picked us up. We ( per my mom) had to sit quietly and say the rosary. We did not have a clue…lol I was 6, my bro was 4 and my mom was pregnant with my sister. My dad was out at sea on the Lexington. He was a 👩‍✈️ pilot. I don’t know if he was supposed to come home or not but the next day he was home for a few days. We went to church it seems like about 10 times that week. Yes, we were raised Catholic, I’m now an agnostic. I really did not understand about the death of JFK until I was in high school. Now my adult sons ask every end of November what and why. I told them to wiki it. Lol I was 6 what could I tell them? There are alway a lot of shows on TLC and A&E. I mean no disrespect, I was just so young.

One should remember that a lot of us grew up in racist families with lack of knowledge about other races and knew no better. I am so glad that society has come a long way since then, but still has more to go. There is NO EXCUSE for racist hatred today. I have traveled the world all of my adult life with the Air Force and later for a major aircraft manufacture. One thing that I learned is no matter what country you visit, people are pretty much the same in that they just want to live their lives in peace and happiness. Shameful how governments get us into too much conflict.

1963, they year my life changed forever. My family moved from Pittsburgh, PA to San Diego, CA, due to my dad, a lab assistant at the University of Pittsburgh, being asked by his boss to join him at Scripps Clinic in La Jolla.

Wow, CVS goes that far back! Selling RX worked, etc.

Being Julia Child is on the cover still for this video, I feel the narration should be corrected to note that she was indeed an accomplished Chef. Julia Child graduated from the Cordon Bleu in 1951 then taught as a Chef for several years, then wrote the seminal book Mastering the Art of French Cooking in 1961... 2 years before her debut on PBS.

She co-wrote the book with two others.

you missed that the Kennedy administration had submitted the first civil rights bill in August of that year that would later be passed into law under LBJ in tribute to President Kennedy. This law would bar discrimination on the basis of race, sex, religion, age and creed. The bill was submitted in September 1963.

Oswald? That's funny!!!!

[@paulakpacente]

You're wrong about Julia Child. From Wikipedia: In 1951, she graduated from the famous Cordon Bleu cooking school in Paris and later studied privately with Max Bugnard and other master chefs.

11/22/63- a day that lives in infamy. A five year old two and a half months into kindergarten at Trinity School in New Rochelle, New York.

1963 ! They desegregated the schools where we lived. The whites and blacks went to the same schools for the 1st time. Being a late bloomer white boy everyone was bigger than me. After several episodes of getting beat-up and relieved of my lunches and milk money and my clothes ripped and torn I finally saw the light and learned to fight ! ! ! I didn't always win but once it was common knowledge I wouldn't back-down, win lose or draw, life got much better.

Too bad this video did not mention that 1963 was the debut of the Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray and how this inspired Schwinn to debut their first Stingray bicycle, technically called the 1963 1/2. I know Rec Road has a video dedicated to Schwinn bikes but just thought it would be cool to mention it here.

[@josephgaviota]

When I was a kid, a Stingray was the absolute _coolest_ bike a kid could have. We were too poor to get one, but some of the kids at school had 'em.

I was living in Nome, Alaska in 63..

I love your videos of the 1960’s and your perfect narration…it’s not obnoxious like so many. Your videos are marred by just one thing though that cause me to turn the sound off and that is the repetitive music in the background, which I believe I’ve also heard in other documentaries. The background music you use is just too repetitive and therefore distracting to your fine work.

[@shibolinemress8913]

I was born in Florida in 1963. Not long after, we sailed to Europe on the SS France. Who knew I had something in common with the Mona Lisa? 😊 We returned to the U.S. in 1967 on the SS United States. Even though I don't remember anything about the voyages, my parents told stories about them all their lives.

[@MIKECNW]

Julia did not help launch PBS. It was Nation Education Television which had existed since the mid-50's.

[@Chuck-e7d]

Ahh back when I didn't have a care in the world, two years before I was born😁

[@richardthunderbay8364]

I was born in 1963. The Kennedy assassination has always haunted me.

[@bryanparenteau374]

I was born in February of '63.

[@bostongirlsandy]

I can't wait until my birth year of 1988 is featured.

[@PurpleObscuration]

Or 1996

Believe me...he ain't going that far.
