The TV Shows That Premiered 50 Years Ago!
Recently The ’60s at 50 posted the September ’64 Television Debuts. I was surprised that 50 years had passed but so many of the shows that premiered that season are still not only known, but are being regularly watched on retro channels.
The Shows and my thoughts…
‘Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea’ – I occasionally watched, but often found the concept cooler than than the execution.
‘Peyton Place’ – Never watched it.
‘Shindig!’ – Occasionally watched but preferred Dick Clark’s American Bandstand.
‘Bewitched’ – Used to tune in regularly.
‘Jonny Quest’ – Loved that show. An all-time favorite cartoon.
‘The Addams Family’ – I watched but not regularly. I was more a fan of The Munsters.
’12 O’Clock High” – Never really watched it.
‘Flipper’ – As a kid I was a regular viewer.
‘The Man From U.N.C.L.E.’ – I watched as often as I could.
‘The Munsters’ – I was a pretty regular viewer.
‘Daniel Boone’ – One of my favorite shows as a kid!
‘Gomer Pyle – USMC’ – We’d watch regularly.
‘Gilligan’s Island’ – We’d watch weekly.
‘My Living Doll’ – I don’t remember it, but with Julie Newmar co-starring, I’d be interested in giving it a look.
It would be interesting to see how other seasons held up after 50 years. Nice one, The ’60s at 50.
