1965 TV Show Intros Part 2 of 3

[resculptit]

Saturday mornings? Cartoons. Sunday mornings? Church crap. (Oral Roberts and other "Healers" preaching to the crazy people. The rest of the week was in school. Television in Hollywood took a nose dive about this time - playing on the wealth of a nation with opulence, greed, and celebrity. We still do that but more are aware how terrible it has been for society. Middle America sat back as if this Hollywood was a foreign country. And in some respects it was. And it still lives.

My god has it been that long?

I wonder if anyone watching Itchy & Scratchy these days gets the Tom&Jerry reference...

I loved The Tom &Jerry opening.Thanks for posting.

My Mother the Car was rated one of the worst sitcoms ever, not just because it wasn't funny, but because the premise itself suggests that network brass may have been smoking something very potent in those days. A guy's mom dies and is reincarnated . . . as an ANTIQUE CAR??? I'm not a student of theology, but isn't the basis of reincarnation that you come back as a living creature? NBC's brass must truly have gotten their hands on some hallucinogenic mushrooms when they green-lighted that one!

i had forgotten all about that show

"My Mother The Car" is rated as the worst show ever made...

[defundthewar]

"MMTC" is sure to be on a lot of "worst TV" lists, but let's be fair... is it because it was a dumb, bland, unfunny flop, whereas there were plenty of dumb, bland, unfunny hits that were of similar poor quality? For example, The Addams Family, which to me still holds the record for heavy-handedness on the laugh track button. The Beverly Hillbillies and its spin-offs, My Favorite Martian, 3's Company, I could go on and on.

@defundthewar

I think you've hit the nail on the head. My Mother the Car was the dumbest flop, as compared to the dumbest hits. Just think about all the stupid tv shows that seemed to go on and on forever, while some great shows were axed after one-half season.

@spider9137 What's that expression... "there's no deodorant like success?"

[elc1960]

@WestVirginiaRebel Agreed, if only for the premise of a woman being reincarnated as a car. That premise makes The Munsters and The Addams Family seem downright believable in comparison.

I tried very hard to find exact openings for all shows, but as you can guess, newstart, finding the 50's and 60's is a bit difficult. Mostly these are just reminders of what shows started in that year.

[newstart2009]

for Days of Our Lives that wasn't the 1965 opening...only one person so far has that up...this was later.

lol I know I was like that's the one they show now except with a little older stuff
