1960's Television: A 1968 Promo for the infamous CBS-TV sitcom "Blondie", one of the biggest flops of the 1960's, lasting just 14 episodes (Even "My Mother The Car" lasted 30 episodes). This 5-Minute promo comes a 1968 CBS-TV Special created to promote it's fall line-up. I Uploaded the complete special to the Internet Archive. Well below the standards of it's time, Even "My Mother The Car" was a better series, but I do like the theme song.
This version was a real turd as I remember it. I think the guy doing the narrating is the name one that did stuff for the Drive-in's movie theaters.

The theme song sounds like it was composed (and probably recorded) in less than five minutes. "Dagwood, my favorite bauble?" Not only does it not make any sense, it doesn't even really rhyme.

So let me get this straight: Charlie Brown & Lucy are now brother and sister, and their dad is the guy who played on "Sugarfoot"? And his boss is Thurston P. Howell III? And the guy who runs the diner is Mr. Miyagi? Actually, the lady playing "Blondie" is pretty nice, although not quite as voluptuous as the comic strip version. Is it just me, or does Will Hutchins look a lot like Craig Ferguson?

that dreadful singing on the opening theme is why people couldn't stand to watch this show.

if Dag would have worn the shirt with the single button like in the comic strip,maybe this would have been alright. I think the restaurant owner was Pat Morita .

Blimey, was this show as bad as the intro? The Lake/Singleton films were terrific, thankfully I don't think this ever made it to the UK...
