No video
Sunday Morning & Afternoon TV Programs of the 1960s
The video's main title is Shows on the Sabbath. But I've been told quite a few times that the Sabbath is Saturday only, though my information from the Internet was that it can be Sunday as well. Anyway, I didn't want to take the video down so just ignore references to the Sabbath.

I can't explain why, but my family used to watch Ted Mack's Amateur Hour on Sunday afternoons. If you recall, there was a large cardboard "Geritol" bottle hanging on the curtain behind Mr. Mack. I was probably 7 or 8 years old when , one Sunday, I asked my dad what Geritol was. He remained silent for a few seconds...took another sip of Port wine (from glass #3) and said the following..."It keeps your grandmother from getting rusty". My mom got up and left the room in a "huff". Good times!

Thank you so much Fred. I like having this in the background and in my tv. Makes me feel at home. I love the 50s-70s vibes. Love the doors and Beatles and stones and such. And Vietnam era. Just great culture. I’m a 90s baby but I appreciate and prefer these times. 50s-90s America was on top! And culture was amazing. I like to just picture we’re back in those times and not have anxiety about how dumb now a days people are & all the social media and stupid ridiculous stuff. Although I do appreciate our technology now a days at it advances very much. I do fear and worry how it’ll negatively affect further generations. Sorry for the rant.

In my house, when I was a kid, the TV set was not on during Sunday morning. Early Sunday morning was devoted to getting dressed and prepared for going to Sunday Mass at 11:00. After Sunday Mass, my father and I would drop my mother off at home, and he and I would go to get the Sunday newspapers and various baked goods. Once we got home from doing that, I would then go into my bedroom and change my clothes. I would then join my family at the table for Sunday brunch. The rest of Sunday was spent watching sports on TV, or going out for a drive.

I was born in 1963, and I remember the College Bowl, though until watching this, I couldn't tell you the name of it. I just remember watching a student face-off, with two teams. Sunday mornings were a drag, because the only cartoon on (or so I thought, but apparently there were LOTS) was Rocky and Bullwinkle. I didn't understand the humor. Now as an adult, I watch it and it's hysterical. Who'd have thought Jack Nicholson was once young and handsome? I don't remember Wild Kingdom being on in the morning. I watched it in the evening.
Good stuff. Sundays did have a certain “feel” because of the eclectic programming. We loved “Insight” and the “CBS Children’s Film Festival” in our house. There was also some local dreck airing early afternoon in Philly
On the NY stations, we watched Wonderrama on Sunday morning. I remember it being a good show that showed the popular artists of the day.

Another one well done, Fred. I remember most of these. Gospel Singing Jubilee ran for a long time. It was still on about 1980. When I worked nights it would be on early mornings, after stations started running overnight. JD Sumner, Vestal Goodman, and perhaps some others on that intro were on a lot of the Gaither Homecoming videos. Sumner lived into the 2000s. I read on Wikipedia that he sang the lowest bass note ever recorded. I don't remember the show's title, but there was a Southern Gospel show made in Greenville and syndicated all over the US and into parts of Canada. My maternal aunt and uncle near Brevard, who were like my grandparents, would often be watching that show on the Greenville station when we came to visit on Sunday mornings.
Wow, I've never had anything bring back so many childhood memories. Awesome thanks💫
In Chicago, we didn't get Bozo on Sunday until the 1980s. Bozo's Circus ran M-F at lunchtime, and a lot of kids went home for lunch. If my siblings and I were fortunate, on Sundays we got Gumby, Jot (a Baptist cartoon), Davey & Goliath; and a program called the Magic Door, sponsored by the Chicago Board of Rabbis. After that ecumenical two hours, it was off to walk to church for Mass. In the afternoon, Frasier Thomas was our host for Family Classics, an award-winning family movie.

Very good compilation. My memories are more from the 70's, though. From that era, I remember "Make a Wish" on ABC, and, during the summer, Marshall Ephron's "Illustrated & Painless Sunday School" on CBS. I'm surprised you didn't include "Insight", but I understand it's been out of circulation for many years. (By the way, I remember the "Children's Film Festival" as a Saturday afternoon program on CBS. Perhaps the slot changed in the 70's.)

On the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation), it got started at 6pm with The Wonderful World Of Disney, followed by The Beachcombers and clapping along with tunes and laughing at sketches provided by The Irish Rovers. Rocky And Bullwinkle was the Sunday morning tradition.
Love your videos! Love the art work on the INSIGHT intro.

Thanks, David.
Thank you. It was wonderful being a kid again.
Very good compilation, Mr. Flix👍!!! I'm 61, and remember most of these, as I didn't see then, some of the program's, showed. Loved Davey And Goliath, even though, I'm not Christian (I just loved the shot-for-shot, animation😉). The footage, of the band 'The Continentals' @18:49, is so hilariously dated. Terrible, as in comparison to today's music. By being so square-ish⬛, were they trying to fail, on purpose🤭⁉️
Thank you again Fred for another look back into my childhood from the 1960s some of those shows I almost forgot like the GE College Bowl the 21st century and shows like that Davey and Goliath and Gumby were part of the Rocketship 7 television show here in Buffalo on Sunday mornings for years until 1978 when it went off the air
I loved Casper when I was a child. I have no memories of the 1960's though, BTW did you know that Norma McMiilian, did the voices of Casper, Wendy, Little Audrey and Sweet Polly Purebred in cartoons? And she did the voice of Gumby and Davey on Davey and Goliath in the first season. She was Alison Arngrim''s (Nellie Olson) mother too. King Features have the same music on the Blondie movies too.I can remember Lamp Unto My Feet and I bet Insight was a very good program.So Off To See The Wizard was a farce to get kids to watch a movie? My sister and I loved watching Mutual Of Omaha's Wild Kingdom every Sunday afternoon before we went to evening church services. Then after church, it was home to watch The Wonderful World Of Disney, then Lassie.
Outstanding. I remember a lot of these from the 70’s! Davey and Goliath brings tears to my eyes.

Casper, Gumby, & Rocky & Bullwinkle were three of my Sunday mainstays. Daddy liked Wild Kingdom, so we watched that weekly too. Preschool pushover that I was, I used to cry when Casper scared people away because he was dead, & lamented over his inability to make friends with the living. Ha! Those ladies on the Jubilee music show needn't sing too loud, as their hairdos already reach halfway to heaven! The heavenly choir will certainly see, if not hear, them coming.

I sometimes can't remember what I did last week, but I remember the tune to Discovery 68. That's 51 years since it was on. I also liked the Beatles cartoons and Gumby. I watched Davey and Goliath before church. That was the only time I was allowed to eat breakfast in front of the tv. Thank you for the great memories.
There were three more tv shows that were a part of Sunday morning viewing in the 1960's"Wonderama"with Sonny Fox,"It's Light Time"with Jim Stewart(Not the film and stage actor..The Chicago,Ill based kids tv host/performer)and his wife's puppets and"Let's Have Fun!"with Chuck McCann,The Paul Ashley Puppets,"Capt.Jack"McCarthy,Terry Bennett,Hank Stohl,"Beachcomber Bill"Biery,The Tom Tichenore Puppets,"Donkey The Clown"(Ed Alberian),Robert Broderick and "Fireman Frank"(Scoey Mitchell).
Oh, thanks so much for this video!!!! Mutual of omaha's wild kingdom, wonderful world of disney, AND BONANZA too!!! Almost didnt watch this video. Soooo glad i did!! Once again, many thanks and God bless!!!
" a 30 hour work week and a months vacation as a rule" I'm still waiting.
LOve & Miss the NBC Peacock!!! Best bumper ever!!! NYC Metro area had some of these shows, maybe all, I just wasn't aware of some. Many shown were on Saturdays. I don't think we had as much Beaney & Cecil as you did. Always loved College Bowl, Wild Kingdom and Ted Mack's Amateur Hour; they usually aired beginning around 4 pm Sunday. Sunday mornings we watched the local shows, which were 3-4 hours long, 9 to 1!! Wonderama with Sonny Fox and later Bob McAllister on 5 or Chuck McCann's Let's Have Fun on 11. Other than 60 Minutes, none of the Sunday news shows were watched. 60 Minutes' opening usually signaled it was time to leave my Grandma's house in the Bronx and head home to NJ; if there was no traffic, we could watch the end of 60 Minutes when we got home!!!
Actually Davey and Goliath started in 1961 and had 5 Seasons and 73 Episodes, Running until 1973 and several 'Specials' with the last: 'Snowboard Christmas' in 2004.
Interesting look at TV in the USA. Many of the cartoons are familiar, although in Australia, cartoons were seen seven days a week, at various times of the day. After after arriving home from church, my siblings and I were encouraged to play outside as on the TV shows such as Walkabout (a wildlife/nature show about Australia) was on or s yoga show by Swami Sarasvarti was on. These were boring to kids, we'd wait until the mid afternoon for Laurel & Hardy or Three Stooges reruns to come on. Animal Kingdom or Wonderful World of Disney would be favourites. ;)

I got hooked on Prisoner as a fifteen year old here in America in 1979. At first they showed it at seven pm in my area until they considered it too adult and moved it to three am. Then in 1981 they took it completely off here. But thanks to You Tube I rediscovered it in 2010. Looking at it now, Prisoner is quite tame compared to what they show now here in America. I have seen all 692 episodes six times now. Joan "The Freak " Ferguson is my favorite character, followed by Pixie Mason, played by the late actress Judy Mcburney.
I love the Davey and Goliath cartoons. Basically anything from the 40's, 50's and 60's. Some 70's. Nothing beyond that. They need to put Davey and Goliath back on every Sunday afternoon. We all need to see and hear those lessons, kids and adults alike.

Absolutely agree! But, kids today would, more than likely, laugh it off as lame and outdated. Sad how the world, society culture and kids have been changed so drastically since the 60's. Social media, smart phones, and the Internet put the "final nails" in the proverbial "coffin" for decency, respect and empathy among the young and youngest...
We always watched Hour of Power with Rev Schuler from Crystal Cathedral in California. Still watch with his grandson Rev Bobby Schuler
Been at least 50 yrs since I heard the Beanie and Cecil song, still remember most of the words hmmmm. I have a little blond dog in my lap named Sally, after Davey's little sister. I loved that show even though I knew I was learning something!
Another gem from your vast collection! Thank-you for so many great memories. Strangely though, as a kid in the early 60s I don't remember many cartoons on TV on a Sunday with the exception of Davey and Goliath and Gumby. What I remember is early afternoon movies on WPIX, such as Abbot and Costello, Blondie, Shirley Temple, etc., just to name a few. Is it just my imagination or did the people shown on your clips seem much more dignified and intelligent than our present generation, especially those in politics? One show that you omitted (I think it was on in the 60s) was ABC Wide World of Sports with "The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat". Anyway, thanks again and keep up the great work.

Ah! such memories. My Dad loved Jubilee - especially the LeFevrers (sp?). I loved Rocky and Bullwinkle (Sunday 9:00 am) and often took their sarcastic/sardonic tone into my Sunday School classes - which did not go over well for little smart-ass me.
