Did one of these programs travel to Mexico or Guatemala to discuss the Mayan civilization??

I was one a young person. Why were these times so much better than today?

It has a PBS feel about it.

I watched this program back when it was Discovery '63 and '64. I think it was a daily show then. The theme music sure brings back memories!

This aired on Sunday mornings at 11:30am(et), right after repeats of "THE BULLWINKLE SHOW".

@fromthesidelines Yeah, it did. Great time to be a kid. I'd been hearing this jazzy intro in my head for years...probably hadn't heard it since '66. It was good to finally see and hear the intro again. Took me back alot of years.

Frank Buxton also hosted a short lived Goodson-Todman game show called "Get the Message"

Later This Week..Mr.Frank Buxton and Mr.Bill Owen are slated to appear at The Friends Of Old Time Radio Convention in Newark/Airport,N.J.

I don't know if Mr.Buxton will be there? But Mr.Owen will be there.

I don't remember anything about it but I know I liked it. I somehow remember it as NY oriented. The PanAm building, WTC was going up I think.

Yup, plays through my head, fondly, as well!! Probably been 40 years since hearing the theme....I REALLY looked forward to seeing it when it was on in the sixties.....Can't say the same for today's programming.........Thanks for making it available!!!

Mr.Owen had hosted one local kids tv show in Bismark,S.D. before he worked on

"Discovery!"on ABC TV..He was "Marshall Bill".

Oh My God I remember this theme song....being really little & watching the year change in January. I loved the theme music. There were only 11 channels, and where we ived only 3 of them came in!

[bikebeerrun1960]

I remember this;back then kids actually had an ATTENTION SPAN !

[pap4456]

I loved this show! And I've had this infectious theme in my head lately!

[nanlisa]

I definitely remember this show. Nowadays on Sunday mornings, you have these news shows instead.

There are several other series of Discovery shows dating from 1968-'71 in other videos posted on here, this is one of the earliest versions of that show. It was a predecessor of "Make a Wish" which was that show's replacement in late 1971.

[ClassicTVLover]

I barely remember "Make A Wish" except for the few clips I came across while on the net. If memory serves me, Viginia Gibson hosted or co-hosted most every season of Discovery until its end in 1971. It still brings back great memories of growing up for me.

I cannot thank you enough for this. I've been wanting to hear this theme song again for years

[ClassicTVLover]

This theme almost haunted me for decades until I found the other clips here. One the film transfer I got of this opening I decided to remove the hiss from the film which makes is a little nicer to listen to.

[calcorrfan]

I also remember this show and the theme song. I loved watching it as a kid.

[ClassicTVLover]

I had this theme stuck in my head for years until I bumped into it here on YouTube. Going through a bunch of clips I collected I discovered (no pun intended) that I had this one to add to the collection of versions here. Probably one of the best kid-oriented shows to air on Sundays,

[RacePointLight]

i remember discovery '66... do yo u have any more of it?

thanks for posting....

[ClassicTVLover]

I just happened across this with some assorted vid clips I had in my collection. I grew up watching this on Sundays and since other folks were kind enough to share their intros I thought I would share this one. Sorry, I don't have anything other than the 66 version intro
