That particular What's My Line opening didn't appear until the fall of 1965, and the 1957-1963 ABC logo is shown at the Sunday Night Movie promo, so these aren't exact here.

I try to get the right intro or logo for the right season, but sometimes you just can't find them so you go with the next best thing. Although, I believe that the source I got the intro for What's My Line claimed it was from the 1964-65 season, if I recall correctly. In any case, the clips were what I could find at the time and certainly almost all of them are true to the season.

I am really enjoying your videos...would love to see more...these are bringing back great memories:-)

I have over 120 cable channels and 95% of the content is garbage, then there were 3 channels and the content was much better than it is now.

I get so weepy for those simpler days, and it definitely helped that I was a kid at the time... I don't exactly miss Lassie, though...she had me blubberin' every Sunday night, where she was either getting lost, getting hurt or homeless...had me getting all worked up, slingin' snot and sobbing at the tv... "you can make it girl... you can make it!" like a dumb cluck. Evidentally she heard me though...she always made it through and somehow my soul felt cleansed.

Walt Disney, Ed Sullivan and Bonanza - three shows I would NEVER want to compete against - EVER!  That's just like playing basketball against a trio of Michael Jordan, Kareem Abdul-Jabaar and Magic Johnson - in their primes!!

@elc1960 Julie Newmar, the ultimate Catwoman, and Kathleen Nolan ... the epitome of 1960s womanhood!

Even though I was only in fourth grade at the time, I remember "Broadside" quite well, since it was billed as a female version of "McHale's Navy," my second-favorite show after "Combat!" (Little did we realize then that Dick Sargent would have easily fitted into the WAVEs in real life.)

Abby Dalton on Joey Bishop was another hot '60s babe who certainly helped me through puberty. YUM-O!!!

"Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color" was the show most frequently watched at my house on Sunday nights - and we did see it in color, as we had a color TV by then. If that was a rerun, then we'd probably watch "Ed Sullivan". I remember "Candid Camera" on weeknights instead of Sunday.

I thought "My Living Doll" was stupid, and I didn't like "My Favorite Martian".

In the '70s, I went to college with 3 of the 4 kids of Dan Blocker ("Hoss" on "Bonanza"). All had names that started with D.

"GRINDL" was replaced in its time period by "THE BILL DANA SHOW" in the fall of '64 [its sponsor, Procter & Gamble, moved it from 7pm(et) in its first season to 8:30 in its second....then replaced THAT with 'BRANDED" in January 1965, which lasted through September 1966].

You're forgetting, 'elc', that the OTHER sponsor of "WALT DISNEY'S WONDERFUL WORLD OF COLOR" was Eastman Kodak, who "pushed" their various brands of color film and cameras as well {who could forget the disclaimer at the end of the show's credits, "Photographed on Eastman Kodak film"?}- and also had a concession at Disneyland?
