Therefore scenes and music cues from one season (or less) shows like 'OK Crackaberry' or 'The Second Hundred Years' or 'Time Tunnel' are burned into my brain forever!
I guess the reason these shows don't seem so 'obscure' to us is that back then there were only THREE networks and only ONE season (Fall)- so shows were promoted endlessly during that previous summer.
My God, I remember PEYTON PLACE and THE JOEY BISHOP SHOW airing when I was a wee tyke...My late mother claimed I once cut out the latter's title in letters of newspaper and laid them on the living-room floor, and heaven help her if she messed it up passing through!
(part 4) THE OUTCASTS---not as unbelievable as you might think...in fact, as many as a quarter of the cowboys in the post-Civil War West were black. THEN CAME BRONSON...with the long lead times for new shows, NBC and MGM-TV were committed to this before EASY RIDER even premiered, much less became a box-office smash/cultural touchstone.
HEY. LANDLORD--another stop over, this time for Sally Field between GIDGET and THE FLYING NUN (as Will Hutchins' sister)--tenants included Seymour Kaufman and Millie Helper. THE FELONY SQUAD...would Ben Alexander have rejoined Jack Webb for the DRAGNET revival if he weren't already committed?
(and "a city" is L.A.--that building lighting up so strikingly is the then recently completed Water and Power Building). MAYA...how much did they actually film in India?
THE LONG HOT SUMMER--nice they got Jimmie Rodgers to reprise his performance of the film theme. During the run, O'Brien was replaced by Dan O"Herlihy. THE JOHN FORSYTHE SHOW...he runs a girls' school, alongside the Bride of Frankenstein and Ann B. Davis in her resting spot between Schulzie and Alice, dealing with charges that include Julie Barnes, Lucy Van Pelt, and if it means what I think the listing means, one of his real-life offspring.
THE BING CROSBY SHOW--Bing Crosby Productions did this, along with BEN CASEY, HOGAN'S HEROES, and (after he sold out but let them keep his name) the original WALKING TALL movie. THE JOEY BISHOP SHOW---this is from its season on CBS, correct? You should try to find the open for the first version (1961-62) where Joey played a press agent and Marlo Thomas was his sister. BREAKING POINT...Meta Rosenberg went from shrinks to dicks, helming THE ROCKFORD FILES. (part 2)
THE SHIRLEY TEMPLE SHOW...before politics and after John Agar. DIAGNOSIS:UNKNOWN--the original crime-solving doctor. long before CSI or QUINCY-...even WOJECK, for our Canadian friends. SAM BENEDICT--did he have every guest star light his cigarette in his back seat? MR. SMITH GOES TO WASHINGTON...America just couldn't accept Fess Parker without the coonskin cap--and Red Foley was Pat Boone's father-in-law, (part 2)
Good to see 'NYPD' recognized here. It was a highly critically acclaimed show- and unlike the other series shown here- actually made it into syndication in the 70s.
Some of these shows I do remember such as The Felony Squad, N.Y.P.D(Twenty-six years before N.Y.P.D Blue), The Girl From U.N.C.L.E, Maya, and Then Came Bronson. But the rest I never even heard of.
Another great compilation of TV titles from the past. I just wish we could have more good shows like Then Came Bronson on today's TV & less of the trash the networks pass off as entertainment.
THANK YOU so much. The song starting at 12:38 has been haunting me for 30+ years. Journey to the Unknown. I had the song on tape but couldn't find the show it was from.
I like all your clips. It was nostaglic seeing "Peyton Place" and "The Long Hot Summer" again after all these years. This is the era that I watched the most television. Thanks.
I so remember the Shirley Temple Show! In fact, there was a Shirley Temple Little Theatre that was a box with slots in the floor for different scenes and magnetic bottomed cutout players. I got it for Christmas in 1959 but it's long gone now!
Thank you sooooo much for these intros. As I have previously stated, I love retro tv. You make these intros TIMELESS! Please increase your collection and make more videos like these.
Maya! I used to watch that.

I hardly consider "The Felony Squad" obscure (it ran for three seasons), though I do wish i was on D.V.D..

"Mr. Smith Goes To Washington"'s Stan Irwin was later the voice of Costello on Hanna-Barbera's "The Abbott & Costello Show".

Where in the world did you get these?
I am amazed.
I actually remember a couple of them.
Back in the era of 3 networks and tall antennas on the roof we had to make choices about what we watched.
If Bonanza was on nothing else was on TV...at least not in my home.
Ed Sullivan owned Sunday night so we missed a lot of other great shows on Sunday
Prime Time (for me at least) was from 7pm to bedtime at 9:30pm.
I never got to watch Hitchcock, Outer Limits or One Step Beyond.
I missed a lot of good TV.
