🎶Here's the story of a lovely lady.....🎶

Robert Lansing was more than a sex appeal. He was a truly viril icon and an attractive actor. ❤

I just watched the Lerke section which was very touching and inspiring. Mrs. Lerke is a wonder.

Robert Lansing was a terrific actor. He was in one of the best Star Trek episodes, Assignment Earth also (which they should finally do as series on its own). A classy guy, he didn't criticize the producers of the show that let him go.

My recollections of the Cleveland period are vague at best but IMO the Douglas show's best years were the Philadelphia period. To me it jumped the shark when it moved to Hollywood in late '78.

how we declined to the levels found in 2020 is beyond me....

WKYC continued to carry the Mike Douglas Show weekday mornings until late August 1976. Four other stations would carry his show until its demise in 1981. Douglas later hosted "Golfun", seen weekly in 1984.

This show taught me to have good conversations. I fed off this show every day after school

Thanks so much for the great memories of talented Mr. Robert Lansing!

I really enjoyed that show! Thanks so much for posting it!!

I grew watching this show. It was fun and I enjoyed it. The show had a good run for rd a daytime talk show with celebs.

I would like to inform the viewers of this video that the blonde lady singing is Florence Henderson, who was the mother from The Brady Bunch. Before she was on the Brady Bunch, Florence Henderson used to entertain people with her talents, which included singing. Then she became very famous as the mother on Brady Bunch.

this is my grandmother.. i wouldn't be alive if she didn't adopt my mother!

I was born 4 days after this aired and I my mother said she watched this episode. Therefore, I heard this show but couldn't actually see it.

Note in the closing credits that the associate producer was Roger Ailes, who later ran CNBC and even later founded the Fox News Channel before scandal forced him out, shortly before his death.

I suspect October 19th, 1965 was the date of taping. It's my understanding that from the time "Mike Douglas" went national in 1963 until the late 1970's that it was broadcast live in Cleveland (until 1965) and then Philadelphia (1965-78), and that tapes were duplicated and sent out to other stations carrying the show, who all carried it a week later. Thus, if October 19th, 1965 was the date of taping, this episode aired live in Philly everywhere else on October 26th, 1965.

Life is short folks, that baby he was carrying one this show is now 55 years old By the way. Pinky Lee was Pee Wee Herman before "Pee Wee Herman" was "Pee Wee Herman".

LansingFan1, thanks for all your hard work on putting this You Tube Channel together!

brings back great memories..thanks

My mom loved this show!

I remember Robert Lansing in Star Trek back in 1968 when he played the role of Gary Seven.

My grandparents would watch this on Channel 9 wor in New York at 4:30 Some Johnnie Walker red and easy cheese on crackers it was their happy hour

Beautiful video and audio!

I've been in touch with Susan and she told me your mom was still living and that she showed her the video. I'm so glad you all got to see it.

At the time, WOR-TV (Channel 9) in New York carried the show on weekday afternoons.

I was a young teenager when I watched this back then....Very talented man. Do you have the episode with Jackie Coogan + Ted Cassidy?.... Great guests + memories as well. Thanks for posting on You Tube.. 😀

Thank you guys for your 1976 hit " Afternoon Delight" . I was 5 and just like Starbucks " Moonlight" I remember it just like it was yesterday. I found in recent years what that song REALLY meant but it was a great 70s classic.

I am Margaret, one if those “Unadoptables…” of the Lerke family.

I’d love to see Robert Conrad appearances specifically one when he sang, I’ll go my way by myself! I had it taped on cassette but it broke and so did my heart AGAIN after he passed away February 8th 2020 then my only recording of that song I was going to make a copy and that’s when it broke 😱😟😭💔💔💔

He did because he was easy to work with. Once he was on for awhile, people sought to be guests on the show. When he moved to Philly it became easier because of being close to New York City..

@@TimL2005 He eventually moved to L.A. For a couple of years near the end of the run of the show in the late 70's. I guess his kind of television is lost to us. But I sure would like to see a nice, relaxing, show that was easy and fun to watch. Mike Douglas is much missed.

When Mike Douglas "went Hollywood", the whole thing seemed to lose what made it so attractive in Cleveland and Philadelphia. The closeness, the informality, the spontaneity.

Mike probably moved his show to Hollywood to get "bigger name" guests. However, during the Philadelphia years, he did get many guests who would take a two-hour drive from either New York or Washington to his studio in the City Of Brotherly Love.

If and when I change my name, it would be Robert Lansing.

Do you have one show, where Lesley Gore is singing?

There is a reason why Mike Douglas moved his show from Cleveland to Philadelphia in 1965: In the early 1950's, Group W/Westinghouse (the producer/distributor of the Douglas show) owned a TV station in Philadelphia and NBC owned a TV station in Cleveland. In the mid 1950's, NBC pressured Westinghouse to swap their Philadelphia station for NBC's Cleveland station. So, Group W/Westinghouse had a station in Cleveland, which is where Mike Douglas began his show. In 1965, the FCC ordered Group W and NBC to reverse their swap, meaning Group W returned to Philly and NBC returned to Cleveland. As a result, Douglas had to move his show. He was offered the opportunity to move to any of the five Group W cities, but picked Philadelphia since it was a two-hour drive from both New York and Washington, and he thought that it would be easier for guests to appear on the show if it originated from Philly.

Wasn't Mike in Cleveland and Dayton for a while?

Mike started in Cleveland. NBC was forced to retrade its then Philadelphia station to Westinghouse for KYW in Cleveland by the Feds for forcing Westinghouse to trade its Philly station to NBC in the first place; KYW moved to Philly and Mike went with them. Phil Donahue started in Dayton.

Do you have any MD shows when the Lettermen were on? I'd love to see them again...

Florence Henderson goal in her performance seems to be to sing beautifully. Really? ...beautifully?! There is absolutely no place, no place whatsoever in today's popular entertainment scene for beauty of any kind. Forget it. Today, beauty in popular culture is simply nonexistent.

Mike Douglas musta been an influence on Letterman, can see him wit his boy nose pressed to this one.

1:06:00 15 cubic feet? That's not enough space to hold food for 10 kids

Gosh, Pee Wee Herman really took a lot from Pinky Lee!
