Original Commercials In Classic Cartoon Episodes: 1966 & 1967 (with bumpers & promos)

[@sixtoes2313]

Black and White TV, And we where glued to the tv.. Antenna on the roof or Rabbit ears. But; Boy do I miss that time in my life.

[@freeguy77]

And there wasn't 120+ channels you could choose (ignore) from! But, the quality was so much higher than the glop on tv today. Most are just forgettable fill-in time programming. Even the so-called "dregs" in 1966-67 (ex, "Gilligan's Island" only to the critics) was more inspired and entertaining than the junk shown now--especially those insipid "reality" shows that are boring and predictable. As for the commercials in 1966-67, they were funnier, clever, and better entertainment than the so-called regular programming today! With the possible exception of the Internet world-wide connections to information, there isn't anything today I'd want if we returned to 1966! Even the money was superior back then, with the gold standard alive (until Aug. 15, 1971), and 40% silver half-dollars through 1970. Dimes and quarters lost their entire silver content after 1964, with half-dollars changed from 90% to the 40%, and price inflation the predictable result from the new, cheap money created from nothing by the Federal Reserve paper money scheme. How do you think they paid for the Vietnam War then, now there are more wars today (with paper money created more than ever before in: iraq, Afghanistan, threatening Iran, Syria, Russia, and a trade war with China, etc. Bullwinkle: "Hey, Rocky! Watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat!" Rocky: "AGAIN?" (1:28) ROTFL!

I concur Fred… With the previous poster with one exception. The Baby Crawlalong ad brought back a bittersweet memory for me. I got her for a present for my sixth birthday and a few weeks later I was sent home sick from school and my mother had me on my parents bed because the portable TV was in there. When my father came home from work that night drunk as usual he said he was going up to the bedroom to rest instead of passing out on the couch. Unfortunately I was there and he ordered me out of the bed so I ran to my own bedroom forgetting my Baby Crawlalong. That was a mistake because he hurled it down the hallway. She never crawled again no matter what we did to try to fix her. My father apologized but the damage was done in more ways than a broken doll.

[@FredFlix]

That's awful, Angela.

[@garbage854]

That is messed up !!!!!!!!!

[@angelapritula9516]

Michael Coffey Alcoholism as well as all substance abuse and growing up with it is messed up. A lot of kids that grew up in the so-called wonder years dealt with a lot of things that were hidden from the public eye because in those days you didn’t talk about what happens behind the door of your house. Everything stayed in. But to go in the opposite direction like it is now I wonder if that is really the solution… Blaming parents for making bad choices based on their own pain or damage. Although I have the predilection to be an alcoholic because of my genes I’ve chosen not to go in that direction. It’s all about choices and learning to be strong enough to make the right ones.

[@rodneygolden2796]

Just discovered this. Boy oh boy, talk about a way to bring back decades-old nuances and feelings from childhood! I had great memories and thoughts I hadn't remembered since I don't know when. Those banana bike commercials really did the trick. That Jazzy interlude ending the Bullwinkle Show turned on a switch that linked me back to a comment post I just entered on KZbin just a few weeks ago. Algorithms and maybe AI have their upsides, I suppose I just learned. Soooo doggone Cool, it felt like I went to a therapist for depression with a positive response outcome.

You mean when Jack Webb produced the "DRAGNET: 1966" TV movie (which was "shelved" until January 1969, because NBC was SO impressed with the film, they decided Jack should produce a new "DRAGNET" series for January 1967). In any case, Ben was unavailable- due to his commitment to ABC's "THE FELONY SQUAD"- and Harry replaced him as "Officer Bill Gannon".

Hello Fred, I haven't commented in a bit. I was wondering if you have a favorite year of all time? In pop culture and everything. 1966 is mine. I was born in 1991. #OldSoul

In pop culture it's probably 1966, Rachel. For me personally, as a kid, it may have been 1967, because of a couple who neighborhood girls who taught me a few things.
