24 NEW SHOWS OF FALL TV 1968

[@HerrP58]

We were definitely glued to the TV as kids back then. In fact I remembered the dog's name @2:41. I can't recall which restaurant we ate at least week, but I remember trivia like this, that was seared into my 10 year old brain 55 years ago.

[@RJS1974]

When I was a kid we all would get very excited for the new Fall tv shows. In those days, the TV Guide was in every household and you couldn’t wait to get the issue that previewed all the new shows. With only three channels everyone was usually watching the same popular programs and it brought people together.

[@luissantiago8446]

Yup! TV Guide had a prominent place on the coffee table in the living room.

❤❤❤it was the Bible

[@marlenebrown2634]

My favorites were The Ghost and Mrs. Muir and Here Come The Brides. I have to point out that the first season of Here Come The Brides only had a musical theme song. The song lyrics came in the second season. I was so disappointed when Brides was canceled after only 2 seasons! Most young girls liked Bobby Sherman whereas I had eyes only for Robert Brown. What a hunk he was!❤I also had a huge crush on Edward Mulhare in The Ghost And Mrs. Muir. I liked older men! 😀

Absolute golden Era of TV. I used to devour the fall issue of TV guide. I loved the sixties. Wish I had a time machine, I would pick 1968 and it would be LA or San Fran....

[@merriemisfit8406]

I was both places in 1968, although quite young. I would say to pick Los Angeles. I remember San Francisco being some nice spots in a lot of sturm und drang, but Los Angeles was some sturm und drang spots in a lot of nice. Through the eyes of a child, anyway -- if you're a counterculturalist, definitely set your Wayback Machine for SF.

Nostalgia is a disease. It is insidious in that it is both self indulgence and self flagellation at the same time. Live for the moment. Don't wallow in the warmth memories long past, make yourself warm with new experiences. Memories should have a self imposed shelf life. Art Buchwald had a great quote about nostalgia..."We seem to be going through a period of nostalgia, and everyone seems to think yesterday was better than today. I don't think it was, and I would advise you not to wait ten years before admitting today was great. If you're hung up on nostalgia, pretend today is yesterday and just go out and have one hell of a time.”

Being a child of the 1960's I remember practically all these tv shows! They were all great. they bring back such memories when television was new and upcoming to the public. They may seem outdated to todays crowd, but they were way ahead of its time back then. there were no computers, or smart phones in the 1960's, but we all communicated with each other, as in todays world, people don't talk to each other anymore, they are so pre-occupied with their phones and computers. how pathetic.

[@Autostade67]

And what made Hawaii 5-O's opening so chic was that it used just about every nouvelle vague trick going - fisheye lens, shotgun zooms, jump cuts, freeze frames, speeded up footage (in reverse), swish pans, stepped zooms...

I was in college, grad-school, and law school in those days so TV was a luxury if you could find one. Students were forbidden in college from having a TV in their rooms though some were bootlegged. One TV was in a small rec room that was supposed to serve 750 guys so the only thing on TV would be football in the fall and basketball in the winter. Law school days and nights were spent rummaging through the library researching case law and looking for the sob who had the same volume you needed so the late 60's and early 70's are somewhat of new territory to my TV viewing.

Journey To The Unknown was a British made tv series concentrating on the super natural and the unknown, hence the title.

It sure was on in prime time. NBC scheduled "The New Adventures of Huck Finn" to come on before "Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color" on Sunday nights. ("Lassie" kicked "Huck Finn's" butt, though...and that's why what was billed as the first prime-time TV show to combine live action and animation lasted just one season.)

Jose Arturo Garza It started out 15 September 1968 at 7:00PM on Sunday and then aired in reruns of the Banana Splits when it went into syndication. The whole series is currently for sale www.amazon.com/Adventures-Huckleberry-Finn-Eddie-Hodges/dp/B01G9CFT4Y

THANKS!!! Brings back memories of 7th grade in an NYC suburb!!! I remember most of the shows replayed here!! For some odd reason, I seem to also be remembering what day of the week, what network and what time these shows aired!! Just another example of being "A virtual cesspool of useless knowledge!!"

[@DavidBDavis-lz7bt]

Or an embarrassment of riches!😃

Mod Squad, Hawaii 5-0, Name of the game some great TV theme songs

[@roryschweinfurter4111]

On the drive between SF & LA there's a radio station that plays only TV theme songs. It's always fun trying to which songs go with which show

[@plaguedoctormasque8089]

Every night Adam 12 with my dad I miss you pop!!!

[@wessew6185]

I always watched Adam 12 and Hawaii 5.0. Both can be seen on Pluto TV for free.

[@karltork6040]

Also on "MeT.V. for free too.

[@grittykitty50]

OK, I enjoyed this WAAAAY too much. So many of these shows I could call the title with the first few notes of the intro.

[@Brian.CynthiaMcKay]

Only four I don’t remember and a lot of theme songs I do. But good memories. And a couple had themes that occasionally floated through my head but I couldn’t quite recall. And who knew Hawaii 50 would drop in as a cultural reference decades later. Good times.

[@JohnDoe-jt4ju]

I remember many of these. Also remember watching Tom Jones show and Laugh-In ('68 or '69). We were stationed at Ft Leavenworth, KS then drove cross country that summer to be stationed at Ft Dix, NJ. Also remember an odd TV commercial on some type of exercise or diet product with a jungle song and the words "What cha got to lose, dee, dee-dee-dee, what cha got to lose dee, dee-dee-dee" Opens with a man riding an exercise bike mounted high off the ground on a pole outside and ends with a guy sitting in one of those steaming boxes with only his head sticking out. Very bizarre.

[@eeeecccc]

My parents told me at 2 years old I was dancing to the Hawaii 5 O song.

[@stuartdryer1352]

Some classic cop shows that year.

[@transitdude3352]

Land of the giants was a big hit, but the special effects and props cost too much for the show to continue.

[@TheSWolfe]

I loved that show. A certain dangerous, underground cave/tunnel scene lodged in my brain for decades, that & one other in a dark living room w/a giant, padded armchair, long after I'd forgotten what series they were even from, until just a yr or so ago, when I rediscovered the show via Hulu & YT. I was instantly 5 again, picking up where I'd left off 1/2 a century prior. Funny pt is, even after "coming home" to my LotG, I remain hanging on that cliff, as the series was left, sans conclusion, & their homecoming.

[@RedVynil]

Lost In Space and The Time Tunnel were the same way.

[@lp-xl9ld]

These may not have been the greatest TV shows ever but they certainly had some of the best opening sequences ever--HAWAII FIVE-O was rated the 4th best theme song ever by the writers of TV: THE BOOK. Keeping that music was the *one* thing the remake got right.

[@Bwilliams2]

The ONLY thing the remake got right.

[@TheCatgirl6]

12:42 Does anyone know if The Name of the Game will ever be released to DVD? Please? Anyone?? Love Tony Franciosa, love love love that marvelous theme.

[@MKIVWWI]

I recall is was pretty popular in it's day. My family loved that show (especially the episodes that featured Tony Franciosa) but it's never been officially released on VHS or DVD. You can pick up bootlegs here and there; I got a set of 15 discs and (I believe) most of the episodes on the IOffer site. The quality varies, of course, as with most bootlegs, but most were okay and definitely watchable.

[@TheOwl]

It almost got released by Shout Factory but was nixed I hear due to technical problems with some of the original films (and I bet a lot of legal mumbo jumbo)

[@Berkner80]

My favorite show as a kid and still enjoy today "Land of the Giants."
