Should I spring for color TV? Mr. Magoo is green on my neighbor’s set. Maybe I should wait until Zenith gets the bugs out.
Oh, and what’s the best antenna – rooftop or rabbit ears?
ETA: Sorry! I was watching Bob and Justine on American Bandstand for forgot the OP asked for quotes. “It’s got a nice beat and you can dance to it.”

Oh yea, it started that early.
Really, by 1968 (40 y ago) that question was verging into, “DO black singers get reasonable contracts or are they played as ignorant hillbillies?” But that could be asked of any singers back then. If Aha (formerly of The Five Americans, as in “Western Union”) still posted (anybody hear how he was doing? (searching) Okay, Wikipedia says he’s still on the job. Good! We didn’t always agree but he was as close to a rock star as I knew) he could probably tell you about the raw deal bands, white or black, got. He once told of the ~$3200 check he got when a MAJOR motion picture used one of the songs he had writing credit on. Big whip!
Oh, though I am a Yank, my Monty Python days go back to 1972, which is only slightly out of the timeline. Of course, my Firesign days go back much further, back when “underground radio” played ANYTHING. Including classical.
I pity young people today, who are exposed only to the splintered media of today. I cannot help but consider my exposure, via ONLY pop and hippie-run FM radio, to everything from Bach to BB King to the Mothers of Invention to The Beatles as a blessing. FOUR effing stations (I live in a MAJOR market–WLS and WCFL for Pop, Brother John on WLS-FM for mildly, if corporately acceptably, odd, and Scorpio on WNIB (evenings only!) made up my listening. And the Midnight Special on WFMT to satisfy the survivor of the Folk Music Wars of the 50s and 60s in me.
Was the Apollo 1 fire faked?
OMG! Check out this chain letter I just got about Abraham Lincoln and John F Kennedy. Can this all just be coincidence?!?

In a weird twist of fate, I have a modern-day thread I want to post that also suits this thread.

Because the other day I heard part of the theme song and I’ve been obsessing about it off and on ever since.

A CS thread from 1964:
Did anyone see The Beatles on Ed Sullivan last night?
Great, another noob bringing a to life an old thread. :rolleyes:
We need a term for this. G.Romero just came out with that movie Night of the Living Dead. How about ‘zombies’?
Should white radio stations play colored music?
I don’t know, but I just found WNEW FM and this DJ Scott Muney or Muni or Moonie and they play some incredible music. Not just top 40 or a few songs Motown but they actually play songs of 4 minutes in length. I just heard the long version of it. Amazing! Boy I love FM radio, I wish I could afford one for my car.
Did you know that The Platters were colored?!
Is it true this Elvis guy is white?!

Just discovered Isaac Asimov’s novels - will the Foundation series ever be continued?
Is it actually going to be possible to put Man on the Moon, or are they just going to fake it in a studio instead?
So, we won the Tet Offensive. Why isn’t the Vietnam War over yet?

Anyone been to Dogpatch USA yet?
Sorry to followup my own post, but I realized later that the first 4 posts would be simul-explanation that the Foundation series weren’t novels originally, but short stories, republished as novels.
And then about 10 people would make jokes about that. 
I think there would have been more quotes from song lyrics and various gurus and profound–or fake profound–people. I was a small child in the sixties, but they seem to have been a more earnest time. There certainly was some snarky irony, but it wasn’t mainstream like it is now. I guess the more out there posters might be dropping quotes by Crumb, or the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers.
Of course this thread implies that the internet exists in the sixties, which would make things a bit different.
