Thanks for more great memories, Fred! Man, they were really pushing color TVs on everybody around that time. I have two brothers and one sister. When mom and dad decided to buy our first color TV, I got the black & white for my bedroom and my sister got a portable black & white for her room. My brothers didn't have room for a TV in their room, so they just watched the color set in the living room. So, that was a great benefit of families getting color TVs --- the kids inherited the old black & whites that were still working just fine! I didn't have a remote control, but that wasn't too bad of a downside.

Nice job again, Fred! It was smart of you to dedicate this to the full season rather than just locking in on a particular Sunday, as network schedules often had changes & preemptions. 1:40 - Thanks for sharing both openings to IT'S ABOUT TIME. I was much too young to have seen it in primetime, but I do have the series on DVD (if I ever get around to watching it). I'm glad I wasn't in school at the time, as I understand there was a cruel variation on these lyrics "...it's about time I slapped your face!" followed by a painful face slap. I hope any kids who did that had to miss recess at least. Imogene Coca's character was changed from "Shag" (as you show here) from the pilot to "Shad" afterward, as "shag" had unfortunate implications as a word that Austin Powers made known years later. 5:40 - THE SMOTHERS BROTHERS COMEDY HOUR didn't premiere until Feb. 5, 1967, as it replaced a flop revival of Garry Moore's variety show. It gave NBC's BONANZA a run for its money but gave CBS lots of headaches. 5:50 - I'm glad I got to see Andy Williams live in Branson w/ my parents back in 2003. He did a nice variation on his old tv Christmas shows (which I don't remember ever seeing in childhood). 7:13 - Before Harriet & Nellie Oleson gave him headaches as Nels Oleson on LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE, Richard Bull had a frequent recurring role on VOYAGE. I've also seen him play city bureaucrats on a couple MY THREE SONS episodes.

The programming had just about something for all ages, if you were fortunate enough view them. As a child, you didn't have any say as to what you wanted to watch, So the television stayed on one channel and one channel only. That bastion of stodginess C.B.S. Nothing like hearing what the other kids watched the night before while at school he next day. Oh well, one can live vicariously through the tales of others if your imagination is strong enough. Bittersweet memories of youth from a time long gone by. You do good pal. You bring out the smiles.

Wonderful. ...brings back memories. Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea and The FBI were the BEST! They provided great teaching and entertainment on a Sunday evening.
Thanks Fred! I swear to God, the second I heard "the FBI--in color" I felt like someone with amnesia who just got their memory back! My God I'm old! 😂😂

Another excellent job, Fred. These are the programs I watched on those Sunday nights, dreading the return to school the next morning. Especially 'Voyage' and 'The Smothers Brothers'.

Tony, I knew once Voyage was over I had just one hour left.
"Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea" is a sci-fi classic that is grossly underrated. One of the streaming services should do a reboot.

Reboots don't really work.
Another satisfying nostalgia trip conducted by Fred. I hadn't heard the It's About Time intro in ages! I just realized that the guy who did the FBI intro was the same guy who did the Police Squad intro. That was a very impressive lineup of guests on the Andy Williams Show. I loved the VTTBOTS music.

I was in 2nd grade during that TV season and I remember hearing a very popular this gag on the playground that year. You'd walk up to one of your friends singing the them song - "It's about time, it's about space, it's about time to .....slap your face!" Of course followed by a playful slap in the face. Not so hard that anyone got into fights or got hurt.
Music trivia: the theme for "Hey, Landlord" was by Quincy Jones.

Quincy Jones also did the TV themes for Sanford and Son and Ironside.
Interestingly, the first version of "Its about time" had Imogene Coca's character listed as "Shag" and the second version as "Shad"
Oh man, I loved It's About Time as a kid.
I remember going on vacation with the family and a motel selling points would be color TV and air conditioning.
Thank you Fred, for bringing back more great memories of our TV generation!!

The programming had just about something for all ages, if you were fortunate enough view them. As a child, you didn't have any say as to what you wanted to watch, So the television stayed on one channel and one channel only. That bastion of stodginess C.B.S. Nothing like hearing what the other kids watched the night before while at school he next day. Oh well, one can live vicariously through the tales of others if your imagination is strong enough. Bittersweet memories of youth from a time long gone by. You do good pal. You bring out the smiles.

Those two variety shows were Star makers.Everyone knows about Ed Sullivan,but Andy Williams was also introducing new faces to the homes of his viewers.The Osmond Brothers are the ones best known as his proteges.He also introduced Elton John to American audiences.Ray Stevens had a big comeback after appearing on his show.
On Sundays, my parents and I watched Ed Sullivan.
If I was a kid and I told my parents I was watching a show called "The Telephone Show," they'd think I was nuts.
When I was older I used to watch Lassie. I remember one episode when.this baby Deer was stuck in some kind of thing that looked like black plastic. I sat there and cried . Lassie saved the baby Deer.
My dad met Lorne Greene in Dallas in 77 as an extra in The trial of Lee harvey Oswald

My goodness I love your vids Fred. Seeing the Voyage credits always makes me think. The chief's name was Sharkey. I have always wondered if that was the inspiration of the name given to Don Rickles in CPO Sharkey? Thanks again Fred! EDIT: I just remembered. William Self, in charge of production at 20th Century Fox during Irwin Allen's reign there, was once an actor, too. He was Cpl. Barns in the ultimate classic sci-fi horror film, The Thing from Another World.

Wow, were you in New England back then or was that something that got play all across the country? I was in the Boston area and we had that too.
That would have been a nice Sunday tv.
Actually, from September 1966 to January 1967, at 9 PM CBS ran a new version of THE GARRY MOORE SHOW
I also used to watch The Wonderful World Of Disney. Then after Lassie and Walt Disney went off I had to go to bed.
I need to find links to video of "Hey Landlord" Just the theme tune and intro leaves me with the feeling that I'm going to pee my pants!
Hey Landlord! Remember watching that on Channel 29 in Philadelphia. The first show for Garry Marshall; he'd have others.
