The America We Knew: October 1964

Thank you very much for the video.😊

Thank you Fred for starting my weekend with a smile 😊, this video was pure fun!!!

Priddy woman

😮Thank you for the blast from the past - Merry Christmas! 💯💫👍🎅🌲!

Fred, I hear the new sequel to Time Travelers will star you and all of your subscribers…true?

Totally great Fred thank you so much

Yours truly was still in diapers. 😅

A fond look back at when the Cleveland Browns were a good team.

Also, who could forget that catchy Dutch Masters jingle?

Thanks, FredFlix. ☺️

One of my favorite years of the 1960s!

Ah, 1964. The Beatles were the coolest thing on the planet and would miraculously stay that way until about 1970. Girls liked the Rolling Stones for their 'bad boy' image, like I guess they secretly wanted to date and tame the wildness of Mick & Keith. Garage bands everywhere loved The Animals, because you only had to learn three to five chords to do their songs. You couldn't do Beatles music, because their chord fingerings were insanely difficult. We theorized that they purposely made their songs hard to copy. But yeah, I liked all the other stuff in the video. Chuck roast, 33 cents a pound? I guess that's why we had roast every Sunday. And people actually thought you were living the good life if you had a Pepsi in one hand and a cigarette in the other. Thanks for the memories, Fred!

I love watching old football clips from the 60's.
LBJ the crook was gaining control.
Petticoat Junction had a wonderful way of putting one in a good mood.
Thanks for all you do Fred.

My earliest memory is JFK's assassination, I was very young but seeing my mother crying shocked me, it etched itself in my psyche. But I had a good childhood in the 1960's, thanks Fred.

Thanks, Fred, for another wonderful memory! I was 9 at the time, so I remember some of this, like the music. But the tv things I remember, especially commercials. God bless you and yours always, and thanks for everything you do!

Chad ad Jerry's A Summer Song captured the transition between the 50's Rock and Roll and the Flower Power generation perfectly.
The kids of today would call the state of mind " Mindful and Present".

BOOMERS saw I...T. ALL

WOW! Another great video. It's amazing how fast you crank these out. Can't wait for the next one.

The singing voice of the Pepsi commercial: Joanie Sommers? Sounds so familiar

I didn't realize Brezhnev was dictator for so long. The Time Travelers, huh? Sounds like Irwin Allen "borrowed" a lot from it to do Time Tunnel. That was Mantle's last world series home run. 18 in all. I have never understood what "a clean taste" tastes like. Must be why I have never liked Pepsi. Great music throughout Fred. Thanks.

I love grabbing a coffee and buckling into the FredFlix Time Machine first up in the morning!! Great work as usual Fred - and what an amazing period for the greatest pop and records!

after the soviets saw the americans kill off a president. it was only a matter of 'monkee see, monkee do'. // the monkees sing and dance

I didn't know Bing had gas too. Must have been the frijoles.

"The House..." again. Hm. "A Summer Song"... that was soft and sweet. When I first saw Roy Orbison I thought he was blind because of his dark glasses. 🕶 Mia Farrow. Even back then... Hm.
Neat, Fred-ssi. 💜🤟

Thank you, Fred!

K-MART had a legit grocery store?? Can't hardly believe it.. I never saw one the entire time I shopped at K-MART !

This was great; just what I needed.

Very cool! I was born October 1964!

Merry Christmas Fred, thanks for the memories! 🥰

👍thx fredflix for these tidbits of the past

Fantastic as always Fred! This was about the time I was being created, to be born nine months later. It is a glimpse into what I believe was still a fresh, but changing world. It is cool to see the origins of things, like the music and things that would be a part of my life always.

Sigh, FredFlix reruns until Monday......

Nice music, heard them a few years later when i had my ohm radio lol.

1964 was a monster step into the new world so shaken by the President Kennedy assassination. You've captured the bittersweet essence of change. Thank you so very much!

I wish we had shows like The Ed Sullivan Show today.

Joanie Sommers ("Johnny Get Angry") sang the jingle, "Come Alive, you're in the Pepsi Generation." They brought her back in the early '80s to sing a jingle for Diet Pepsi ("Now you see it, now you don't").

Ed Sullivan was brilliant to book the hottest Rock and Roll talent of the 60's ...

Those look like Musk Robots in the Time Travelers that were getting beat- up. Are we now in THAT future?

Notwithstanding that you had to cut something, the music is great. I have The Time Travelers on Blu Ray. Forrest J. Ackerman has a cameo role in it. Fascinating that gas was being promoted. Now the climate warriors demonize it. Great stuff, Fred.

I was two.

The Beatles were the biggest thing in '64!

1964 was a HUGE season for debuts of long-remembered TV series, with a lot more than just The Addams Family and Jonny Quest (not to diminish either of those). There was, firstly, to "compete" with Addams, The Munsters, plus Bewitched, Gilligan's Island, Gomer Pyle, Jeopardy!, Underdog (cartoon), The Man from U.N.C.L.E., Daniel Boone, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, 12 O'Clock High, and, last but far from least, Flipper, which was live-action in color to boot!

i always like the music. keep it up.

The early 60's was when shit started to change

THE BEATLES!!!!!!!!!!!☮️💟☮️💟☮️💟

Birthday

'Surf rock' was def. a happenin' thing back in '64. I wonder what today's kids think of it now?

I had forgotten that as a child, I heard 'Red China' all the time on newscasts when referring to China. Haven't heard 'Red China' in ages

Conspicuous by Absence From This Otherwise Wonderful Video Scrapbook -- On Saturday Morning October 3rd 1964, an enduring pop culture hero made his world premiere ... "There's No Need To Fear, UNDERDOG IS HERE !!".
