An old sitcom from 1969. This must have been recorded directly from the CBS network line since the quality is so good. This is just an edited example, not the entire program. It gives you a taste of the show and how television broadcast played back from a 2" Quad VTR looked back in the 60s.

  • whats with the sound

  • Please explain your comment. I don't know what you are referring to. That is the way network programming sounded via the AT&T Long Lines.

  • Right channel near inaudible.

  • The audio is mono, only on one channel.

  • @Audiovideopark: Yes, didn't the audio for TV feeds (and radio feeds) fed via AT&T LL then roll off at about 5 KHz? I know it was a pretty narrow response, possibly fed through higher-quality POTS-style circuits...

    And I've also noticed (although it's much more subtle in this video) that broadcast audio fed through Ma Bell's net at the time also had a compressed (as in dynamic range) and raspy, coarsely modulated timbre to it as well...

  • @pvx Yes, this was recorded by a CBS affiliate on the West Coast so this was exactly how it sounded through all the miles of coax cables and microwave circuits. Bandwidth on the audio was limited. 5 kHz top end sounds about right. The audio was compressed to avoid over modulation and to improve the signal to noise ratio.

  • They need to make TV shows like they USED to.

  • Exactly. Network TV shows back then were simple and wholesome, whereas today, it's all about the sex appeal of the stars, and the raunchy humor.

    I plan to model my shows after the shows of yesteryears; I want all ages to be able to enjoy what I create.

  • Does the recording feature any classic old commercials or bumpers?

  • @Audiovideopark The way most affiliates would get it.

  • I was under the impression they played shows in realtime off film chains on network TV back then, oh well.

  • That's one charming motherfucking pig.

  • in the 90s there was a Green Acres reunion show , in the beginning they had Arnold the pig , or a descendent with flowers in his snout going up to the Ziffels graves and dropping them in front of the grave marker, a lot of us fans probably shed a tear

  • i love the sofa its kinda tacky but very sleek and fabulous

  • @eldorado61guy ....you can watch all six seasons on Hulu gratis

  • I purchased seasons 1,2 and 3. Cannot find the rest.

  • The sound sure is better than digital sound today.
