I miss these type of shows, performers were real multi- faceted entertainers back then.

This aired on my mom’s 42nd birthday!

[@itiswhatitaintanditaintwha1427]

"Up up and away" was the #1 song the day I was born: July 1st that year!

[@sashineb.2114]

And I remember the first time I heard the song around that time. It was a huge hit, for sure.

[@miss.phyllisreneefoster9547]

great show

Frankie & Annette ❤

[@GeminiladyJackson-xq6hc]

I have seen all of their beach party movies. They were a cute couple on-screen.

Annette Funicello was so sweet!

[@pbboy7286]

In person she was even more wonderful & gorgeous & funny.

[@shmuli9]

The picture is amazingly clear. Phyllis was a hoot! And I LOVE the 5th. Cigarette commercials. Wow...

[@spectrumlocalb191]

My aunt Dottie was Mike Douglas's producer and Phyllis was his co host many times and what a great lady I treasure the time I spent with her in The Green Room.

[@MsTexas73]

This episode was classic for so many reasons. Phyllis Diller was really a very funny lady. And this was just her TV jokes. HUGE 5th Dimension fan that I am, it is nice to see their performance here within the context of the entire show; and also see that they were a part of more than just their main performance. And I was always a fan of Frankie and Annette's movies (as were many). This episode I'm sure was a good ratings grabber for the times. Also, the commercials are just a great study of our own media propaganda during that era. And how cool to see one of my favorite soap opera actresses (Leslie Charleson, before she became popular) in a Playtex Cross Your Heart commercial.

[@jackanthony976]

Wow! Now that is entertainment. The 5th Dimension are clean, wholesome and talented.

[@spectrumlocalb191]

Love how nice the audience was dressed.

[@pbboy7286]

I think the same audience clips appear in other episodes!

[@alanweissaltz6053]

I just love the raucous laughter at some of the most inane jokes ever oh the good old days

[@garycarpenter2980]

Annette was a great singer and actress. Her and Frankie were great friends and talented. They were a favorite of mine. RIP AF

[@Timotheusism]

I really like this song "California My Way. Any song that the 5th Dimension sings thhe

[@Timotheusism]

they sings with harmony and with style.

[@sashineb.2114]

@@Timotheusism That's from their 1967 album, "Up, Up and Away". If you like their classic sound, you will love this album. Also, the next album from 1968, "The Magic Garden" is beautiful and mysterious. It is one of my all-time favourite albums. You're right about how they sang with such harmony and style. The 5th Dimension remains my favourite group, since 1967.

[@Timotheusism]

Yes I heard some of the selections from the 5th Dimensions "Magic Gardner" and one of my favorite songs from that album "Paper Cup".

[@GeeBee909]

Annette, Marilyn McCoo & Florence La Rue, made 1967 a BEAUTIFUL year

Good old Phyllis Diller!!

[@fairfaxcat1312]

This is an entertainment program from the 1960’s. It was put on in a theater in Hollywood, California, a suburb of Los Angeles, California. Hollywood was a center of entertainment because California offered to the filmmaking industry great weather and the beauty of mountains and oceans. Filmmaking became quite successful in Hollywood and the surrounding sprawling jurisdictions.

[@Pimp-Master]

This was shot at the ABC facility on Vine St. so, yeah, Hollywood, they weren't lying like some programs I could mention.

[@alanweissaltz6053]

I think that the woman dusting in the lemon pledge commercial was completely delirious and needs to be institutionalized because nobody cannot be that happy when they're dusting

[@SteveStalzle]

I am very grateful for you uploading all of these classics. It has provided me with endless hours of entertainment, I often binge watch. I'm amazed by the good quality of some of them, considering they're either over 50 years old, or nearly 50 years old.

[@hollywoodpalace3308]

I'm glad you enjoyed them! Considering how good some of these bootleg recordings look, just imagine how good the original videotapes probably do!

[@artmorris]

From what I have read online, when ABC converted the Hollywood Palace Theatre to color, they used RCA TK-41 cameras. But, this episode doesn't have the 'look' of the 41's. This looks more like 'plumbicon' cameras, like the Norelco PC60's that CBS used. It has the 'softer' look than the 41's, which were very sharp and tended to be more responsive to reds and blues. It looks really good.

[@SteveStalzle]

I wish all of these uploads would be minus time code, but hey, we're lucky to have them at all...THANK YOU.

[@hollywoodpalace3308]

You're welcome, Steve-- and I wish these were without the time codes, too! But at least the episodes with the time codes also include all the original commercials, which are always a hoot for me. Sometimes they're more entertaining than the shows. :)

[@SteveStalzle]

Yes

[@spectrumlocalb191]

Steve these directors time codes make the shows all the more professional because that means the transfer of these shows is coming from the masters that's why there so fantastically clear and pristine looking.

[@pbboy7286]

[@sabrinabrown107]

Huge fan of the 5th Dimensions, loved their greatest hits on cassette so much I bought the double disc greatest hits on CD. As kids we used to impersonate them and I was always playing Florence LaRue because of my small size/height. I just loved Billy and Marilyn as a couple seemed different but complimentary at the same time. She came from a Catholic background, used to teach and he was straight from the church with his soulful - preachy style and delivery. The tall guy in the group Lamont used to take pictures for Jet Magazine - Johnson Publishing. Love the Beach Party movies and Frankie Avalon was such a cutie. Here is my Annette F. story.... Around the mid to late 1970's , here in Chicago they started showing re - runs of the Mickey Mouse club from the 1950's. My classmates and I couldn't wait to school was out to run home and watch these old episodes of MMC. AF was everyone's favorite, the boys thought she was cute and the girls wanted to be like her. There was a series starring her in the MMC and her life seemed so fun, simple and carefree!!! We come to class the next day and MMC was all the talk in school. My mother was always saying, " I can't believe you are so invested in something that almost twenty something years old or as she would say this Old Shit!!! She used to watch MMC when she was younger and AF was one of her favorites.

[@sashineb.2114]

I saw the 5th Dimension in 1970, just after Aquarius was such a huge hit for them. Also saw the newer tribute group (with Florence being the only original member) a few years ago, at the same fair as where I saw the original group.

[@Pimp-Master]

Wow you had music on cassette, imagine that! You really splurged back then, eh?

[@nonenoneonenonenone]

What a fun episode. A lot of lip synching in the songs.

[@nonenoneonenonenone]

As always, Annette Funicello is a complete downer.

[@johnm893]

what a find this is so wonderful.........but why did annette lip synch to a old recording she could have done it live...

[@spectrumlocalb191]

The pace of the show was such you could not do it live and then have to do it over. You will notice it's live tapes if something dropped or happened they kept filming.

[@spectrumlocalb191]

All the songs were lip synced but who cares it looked and sounded wonderful.

[@SteveStalzle]

Sadly, lip sync was industry standard On many, many TV shows from these days.

[@jackanthony976]

If you watch closely you can occasionally see an overhead microphone.

[@northernreflections4653]

I found the way Phil Harris ‘handled’ the young women in his grasp very disturbing. Makes me wonder what happened during rehearsals.

[@dmiller1000]

Disturbing? In what way? That was his act. He was married to Alice Faye for over 50 years.
