Discovery '68 - ABC Sunday Morning Kids Show - 1968

When we kids were sick from Sunday School, there wasn't much for us to watch from the couch on Sunday mornings when you had less than 12 channels. If it wasn't "Meet The Press" or "Face The Nation," it was all churchy stuff. Thank goodness for ABC, who provided "Bullwinkle" and this precious gem, which we probably wouldn't have watched if there had been anything better on.

This is a treat to view the intro and closing credits of the show DISCOVERY. How were you able to find the intro and closing credits of DISCOVERY?? Thanks for posting it.

I found two 16mm episodes of "Discovery" on eBay several years ago. Thanks for your interest.

Now that Disney owns ABC, why don't they see about putting "Discovery" on DVD (if not season sets, then just "best of" episodes)?

I submitted this show to TV Shows on DVD.com and voted for it; I'm not sure how many votes "Discovery" has now.

I remember watching this show after "Bullwinkle" on Sunday mornings; it aired at 11:30 A.M. on WXYZ-TV, Channel 7, in Detroit (then an ABC-owned-and -operated station).

I remember our Dad would watch "Discovery" with me and my younger sister, too.

In the 60's color TVs were in the high $400's!!!! Using an internet inflation calculator, that's $3953 if bought today..that means a color TV in the 60's was worth a relatively decent used vehicle!!

@leonthedog bullwinkle definitely was the case with me.......Bullwinkle and Beany & Cecil were infinitely more relevant than the fundie spew i was subjected to when i had to go to Sunday School......

I remember the weird graphics in the intro and the jaunty theme music (so 60's !)

[SwingAge22]

This music and this TV show brings back such warm memories of childhood. Incredible........I remember the early days of the show the best: Discovery '66, '67 and '68.

Wow! I love it! Such great memories :)

I don't remember this program. But I was only five then, plus we were always at church on Sunday Mornings. Now I can remember coming home from evening Sunday services and watching Walt Disney and Lassie.

Let it go? You're the mouth breather that keeps spamming me. Go get something resembling a life.

[bellier20]

Yeah, you're right, you "just don't know." Don't tell me, you're one of those twats who just shows up to take a dump on whatever happens to be sitting around, right? So you think programming from '68 isn't up to your standards. Then WTF are you doing here? Piss off and go find something you like.

@bellier20 Most importantly, let it go. You sound like someone that has a social and mental deficit.

@bellier20 Whatever happened, it obviously left an unspeakable and indelible impression on you. Do everyone and yourself a favor. Double up on the Prozac, get out of your mother’s basement, and get into the real world. Take a walk to your favorite comic-book store! Have lunch at a Subway! Experience that first touch of a woman!
