Originally telecast on February 3, 1964.

And one particular reason for a show like this is so NBC could tout the wonders of color TV, with the sets and costumes.

@hank29pc713 The problem is that musical/variety shows always had less of a shelf life than other kinds of TV programs. The songs, comedy sketches, and cultural references dated these shows quickly. Carol Burnett made reruns of her show work by editing out what wasn't a comedy skit or song in a humorous context.

@rr7firefly1 It was just easier to hide it back then...

@kymarcin The original "big in Japan"...

I really miss the good 'ole days of Friday nights Sing Along with Mitch. The holiday's are wonderful because of the music of Mitch Miller & The Gang.

This was taped in NBC Studio H8...where Saturday Night Live is broadcast today.

Even in the context of the early 1960's, "Sing Along With Mitch" (both the LP's that spawned first the 1960 TV special, then the 1961-64 series) was very square!
But that didn't stop it from becoming, for a time, a top-rated series.

@TinyDancer500 Bob McGrath is class. There is an episode of "To Tell the Truth" where he is a contestant from the 1960s and prior to his Sesame Street appearance where he details his career. He was quite popular in Japan at one point. If you are a McGrath fan, its worth a look.
