Retro-Saturday and
Sunday Afternoon TV
1950s & 1960s / A TVparty! Quickie

TVparty! presents episodes of syndicated TV shows that originally aired in the 1950s but were rerun all throughout the 1960s, until black and white shows fell out of favor around 1968. After that they could be found on smaller wattage TV stations for a few more years

These programs would often be found on Saturday & Sunday afternoons in the mid-1960s.

Highway Patrol was one of my favorites, starring Broderick Crawford. It's astonishing to see such a clean, crisp print. I haven't watched this show since I was a kid staring at a snowy screen, watching a scratchy 16mm print broadcast from a local station.

Sea Hunt with Lloyd Bridges was another exciting program.

The Adventures of Robin Hood.

Whirlybirds was high-flying adventure that featured some exciting aerial footage. (Excerpt only.)

Sky King was another drama in the skies starring Kirby Grant as Sky King and Gloria Winters as Penny King. This was one of the better written and filmed syndicated dramas of the era, it aired on Saturdays at noon for many years.
