Watch Mr. Wizard 1950's
Science. This is where I gained my knowledge of the basics of science. Don Herbert was the real science guy. This show would never play now. They made Don dumb it down in later iterations. Besides, I'm sure they violated every safety rule in the book.

The Eleventh Hour with Wendall Cory 1962-1964​

This one is on DVD although I think only about 10 people bought it including me.
It's a curious series which I loved but I knew after watching it we'd never see a Season 2 release.

The Nurses premiere episode, Night Shift (September 27, 1962) This Herbert Brodkin/ Reginald Rose NYC filmed sister series to their better known The Defenders. Produced by Plautus at Filmways in Harlem, and I believe, Lennox Hill Hospital. It ran 98 episodes in prime time, also on CBS over three seasons, 1962-1965. In fall 1964, it was (regrettably) retooled as The Doctors and the Nurses, although elevating the excellent Joseph Campanella and Michael Tolan to co-stars, it was a sexist backhand to Shirl Conway and Zina Bethune. Series regular Shirl Conway won a 1963 Emmy for her work on this series. Zina Bethune, her teenage co-star, also proved to be a seasoned actress at only 17!

Complete and from a first generation video transfer from a nearly perfect 16mm film!
Guest starring Joey Heatherton (still a teenager herself), Viveca Lindfors, Arthur Hill, Ruth McDevitt, Kermit Murdock...

What a coincidence with guest-star Joey Heatherton, and Zina Bethune + excellent picture quality too. Nice find there Randall. You are the man!!

I love this show as you can see and there are 3 episodes posted on YouTube, but they are of such poor quality I will not post them here. To do so would be an injustice to such a wonderful series. 'Nuff said!

Slattery's People (1964-1965) S01E07 Children of Calamity

The YouTube poster labeled this episode as 'Children of Calamity', but it is not listed as such at IMDb. Does anyone have any further info?

Tales of the Vikings (1960) a one season syndicated show produced by Kirk Douglas' company (because they had all this stuff laying around after finishing The Vikings movie).

 

[Bob Graham]

The Americans (1960-61) the story of two brothers fighting on opposite sides in the Civil War. 1960 was the Centennial of the War, and there was a lot of celebrating going on (plus, Westerns were popular, too).

 

[Bob Graham]

He & She (1967). One of the best situation comedies, ever!

 

[Bob Graham]

Pete and Gladys was mentioned earlier. Did you know it was actually a spin-off of another show, December Bride? On that show Pete would always talk about his daffy wife, Gladys, but we never got to see her.

Profiles in Courage. Based on the book by John F. Kennedy. Wonderful series. Wish someone would release it.
