Awesome as always Fred - glad to see the ol' time machine is working like a charm.

Once again a childhood memory......my mom started perming my hair when I was so young I thought there was a perm fairy because I had to sit still so long she would buy surprises to keep me busy and say the perm fairy brought them! Many a Tonette perm for my hair as a kid!!! LoL! 😢 Thanks Fred

Thanks for this, Fred. Am a bit of a geek for old commercials and such, just to see what they were like back in those days.

You're welcome, Brian.

[@jakerbo]

Thank You, Fred! Didn't know I needed a dose of nostalgia this morning with my tea, but did it hit the spot! Loved the Chevy Sunday Drive, and I grew up watching Dobie Gillis in syndication after school, so I was THRILLED with that clip. Such style. That show was SO ahead of it's time. Have a great day!

[@FredFlix]

You too, jakerbo, and thanks.

[@RusstheTroubadour]

Thanks Fred in the Dobie Gillis pitch the dark haired actress who first talks to Dwayne Hickman is Yvonne Craig. She appeared in 5 episodes of the series as different characters over the series run. Herbert Anderson who appeared as Dobie's teacher was replaced after the pilot by William Shallert( later of The Patty Duke Show) he had also shot the Dennis The Menace pilot and decided he would take that series instead. Sponsors for the series included Marlboro, Pillsbury and Colgate- Palmolive.

[@FredFlix]

Thanks, Russ.

[@louisb5563]

That's Yvonne Craig?!?!?! SHAZAM Batman! 👍🏻😃 I didn't recognize her!!! 😉👌🏼Also, Dobie Gillis' mother (Florida Friebus) played Mrs. Lillian Bakerman on The Bob Newhart Show!

[@FIREBRAND38]

Wow, Fred. Just when I think you can't dig up anymore rarities something like this gets posted. That 1972 CBS announcement really took me back.

[@FredFlix]

Oh, just wait until you see what's coming Firebrand!

[@jonathan_nc]

The Chevy commercial was 1959 at the earliest because that's a 1960 Chevy Impala Sport Sedan. Chevy sponsored My Three Sons starting on 9-29-60, so this was before that show. The 1972 CBS new show promo was very nice to see and lots of those shows were future classics and I watched many of them back in the day. Never heard of the Robert Young series Window on Main Street, from 1961-62 until now. Frank Faylen and Florida Friebus from Dobie Gillis were well cast. Thanks for all the bumpers.

[@FredFlix]

You're welcome, Jonathan.

[@tpajay]

I was wondering if anyone else knew that was a 1960 Chevy & not a 1958.

[@danielmoose1273]

The "1958" clip of a 1960 Chevrolet was pretty impressive.

I didn't know a Dobie Gillis pitch reel even existed...and a Sunday afternoon drive? Not during football season! Lol! Thanks for sharing these, Fred.

[@tigre7739]

Great as always Fred! 😎 We watched almost all of those shows on the CBS lineup when I was growing up. Dobie Gillis is cool, I've seen it a few times in reruns. Bob Denver does a great job with his character imo. I'm not certain but it looked like a young, pre Batgirl, Yvonne Craig, in that clip with Dobie.

[@RusstheTroubadour]

It was Yvonne Craig. She didn't appear in the pilot which preceded the sales pitch. But she did appear in 5 episodes ( as different characters) during the first 3 seasons 1959-62.

[@scottanddebranelson8419]

man the cars back then. my dad started workin on cars after the war (ww2 for the one's who don't know which one) and he could tell what kinda car was in front of us AT NIGHT by the running/brake lights. and we are talking the mid seventies when there were more than a few cars from the 50's still rollin around. i never tire of seein those classic cars. thanks for the vid dude.

Kids pulling guns would certainly cause a controversy these days

[@kmjeffels]

They had the common Sense not to pull a gun on a cop and use their manners then! The world has gone to shit on a shingle today!

[@marthawelch4289]

I had to play the video 3 times in order to catch the gun. In my neighborhood every kid in the 60's had a gun and it had to be a Roy Rogers. As the only girl in the gang, I told my parents NOT to get me a Dale Evans model. Interestingly, I never saw a real gun in any neighbors' homes. They may have been locked up in a gun rack locked inside a closet. Also, we rarely played inside and we NEVER touched anything in anyone else's home because our mothers and grandmothers could see everywhere. Really. They could. And, no kid in my area ever wore "cowboy" hats especially with chin straps, chaps, bolos, boots, or western shirts when we played cowboys. Just guns. We were authentic without that other stuff. We left those other things to the few rich kids on their mini ranches. Believe me, NO kid back then that I knew would have ever pointed a toy gun at anybody - family, friends, anyone else in this world. If they had, they probably would still be "unable to come out to play". My chicken-neck-twisting German-Polish farm girl grandmother probably would have grabbed it and pistol-whipped me if I tried anything like that.

[@jons.6216]

Never heard of Window on Main Street and it only lasted one season. I guess it was Robert Young's quick attempt at a next TV series after Father Knows Best and prior to Marcus Welby! I remember my family enjoyed watching both Bridget Loves Bernie and Anna and the King of Siam on Saturday nights!

[@jehobden]

Great job, Fred! 0:13: Ida Lupino was not only a busy actress at the time, she got into directing too. She directed a couple THRILLER episodes and a S5 TWILIGHT ZONE episode. She starred in a S1 TZ episode, as did her husband, Howard Duff. In his episode, his character's obnoxious wife was played by Eileen Ryan, who was just a couple years from becoming Sean Penn's mom. 4:32: This was Sandy Duncan's 2nd consecutive season starring in a new show, as she had major surgery which stopped her series during the previous season. MASH had pretty bad ratings its first season, competing against Disney and having ANNA & THE KING as a lead-in. MASH was never regularly scheduled as early as it was this season (8 PM ET) after this season, though it was scheduled for 8:30 ET a couple seasons. 8:38: I guess things got so bad w/ his son, Dennis, that Henry Mitchell had another job over the same 4 seasons teaching Dobie, Maynard, & the rest of them. I didn't know Dobie had a big brother. He looks a lot like Milton Armitage.

[@RusstheTroubadour]

Actually Herbert Anderson had appeared in the Dennis The Menace pilot as well. He decided to take that series instead. His replacement was William Shallert ( later of The Patty Duke Show).

[@jehobden]

@@RusstheTroubadour That's what I thought, but I'd never read it anywhere. I know Mr. Schallert played their teacher both in HS & jr. college.

[@louisb5563]

I remember Dobie Gillis, with Bob Denver who played Gilligan in Gilligan's Island, plus the man who played Dobie Gillis's father, also played the father in The Patty Duke Show.

The year for the Chevy commercial at 2:34 is 1960, not 1958.

Of the shows that premiered on CBS during the 1972 television season, MASH, Maude, "The Waltons", and "The Bob Newhart Show" were very successful whereas "Anna and the King", "Bridget Loves Bernie", "The new Bill Cosby show", and "The Sandy Duncan Show" not so much.

[@marthawelch4289]

Did anyone catch the cig in Yvonne Craig's hand? She really DID have talent but never had her career take off. In the Fix Or Repair Daily car is the greatest character ever on TV - "Chip" - the second of Fred MacMurray's FOUR sons on My Three Sons. Poor guy, his TV wife (Polly) never did anything but complain about whatever he was doing. I gave up watching the show, learned a life lesson to try to keep complaining to a minimum, and hoped that Stanley Livingston would find happiness in real life. Dobie Gillis Show? Nope. My favorite of the "upcoming shows" was The Bob Newhart Show. What a cast! Everyone was just the best, especially Suzanne. And the sheet sets were fantastic. Bill Cosby - never watched his "family-centric" shows. Didn't think he was believable.
