I can't tell you what's gonna happen, but bad things are gonna happen.
- You know, all of these shows sound more entertaining
than the modern shows that are on.
♪ (upbeat intro) ♪
- (FBE) Today, we're gonna see how well you know some TV shows
from the '60s. - Oh.
I got excited when you said TV shows. When you said '60s,
I'm like, "Wait... What do I know is from the '60s?"
- Oh, one of these days, "Do They Know It?"
zip, bang, straight to the moon! I don't know if that's from the '60s.
That reference might not have worked? (bell dings)
- Maybe if it's very embedded in pop culture,
I feel like I might be able to figure it out.
- If I don't know any of 'em, I apologize, guys.
I don't know pop culture from the '60s.
- Knowing my track record with these kinds of episodes,
I surprise myself often.
So, I have a feeling I'm gonna do well.
- I don't know if it was a better time for television.
Again, I don't know if I'm the most knowledgeable.
I feel like now is the best time for television.
But let's see if the '60s can impress me.

- ♪ Who was bringing up... ♪ - Oh.
- ♪ ...three very lovely girls ♪
- Don't know the words, but I know the beat.
- This is from the '60s? Damn.
I mean, I could see that, actually.
- Oh, my mom would get so mad if I didn't know this.
- This is easy. This is probably one of the biggest,
classic TV shows there is.
- ♪ Yet they were all alone ♪ - I'm realizing how white this is now.
Looking back, this is painfully white.
- (FBE) Do you know it? - I have no idea.
- Is it "The Brady Bunch"? - That was "The Brady Bunch."
- That's "The Brady Bunch." - Yeah, "The Brady Bunch."
- It's "The Brady Bunch."
- (FBE) This is the opening to season one of "The Brady Bunch."
- "The Brady Bunch." My teacher would always talk about it,
but yeah, I never knew what it looked like.
- (FBE) So, Sherwood Schwartz conceived this idea for the show
after reading that 30% of marriages in the US have a child
or children from a previous marriage.
- Whoa, I didn't know that actually.
- (FBE) His initial title for the series was tentatively called
"Mine and Yours." - Aww, that's cute.
I like-- I mean, "Brady Bunch" is obviously
a much better title, 'cause alliteration!
- A little bit earlier than that, I felt like it was like
you weren't supposed to get divorced,
and it was very frowned upon.
So, that's cool that they had this so long ago.
♪ (quirky interlude) ♪
♪ (upbeat music) ♪
- Oh my gosh. That looks so familiar.
- I know this. ♪ (vocalizes along) ♪
- So confused by the animated intro. I feel like it's not an animated show.
- Oh! Okay. I know what this is.
I can't do it, whatever she does. (chuckles)
- Why do I feel like I know this?
- This looks so familiar, but I can't say the--
Ah, what is this?
- Yeah, this is a thing I've never actually
seen an episode of, and I don't really know anything
about what it is. I just know it from other pop culture.
- (FBE) All right, do you know this one?
- No, I don't know it. - No.
- No, I don't. - The only thing that's coming
to my head is "Sabrina the Teenage Witch,"
which is [bleep] wrong. I can't think of it.
- My guess is "I Dream of Jeannie." - It's "I Dream of Jeannie."
- "I Dream of Jeannie."
- (FBE) This is "I Dream of Jeannie." - OH, DANG IT! I knew it!
- (FBE) "I Dream of Jeannie" is an American fantasy sitcom
starring Barbara Eden as a 2,000-year-old genie
and Larry Hagman as an astronaut
who becomes her master with whom she falls in love with
and eventually marries. - Aww.
That would've been a much cuter version of Aladdin.
- I would love to have sat in on the boardroom meeting
for that plot pitch. "Just stay with me,
a genie and an astronaut, they fall in love.
It's gonna be great. (chuckles) It's gonna be great.
Don't worry about it. The kids'll love it."

- (FBE) All right, do you know this one?
- No. - I don't.
- I don't know it. - I definitely have seen it,
but I have no idea what it's called.
- It's "Gilligan's Island." - "Gilligan's Island."
- "Gilligan's Island." - (FBE) This is the intro
for "Gilligan's Island." - Yes! Oh my god.
That-- I'm like, how did I not know that?
- "Gilligan's Island"! What?!
Austin... why? Go home.
- This is so cool, because I forgot that half of these existed.

- Hmm. - (laughs) I love this show, too!
I'm so glad I know these. Wow.
- What? She turns into a cat?
- You guys are torturing me with things I might know.
- [Bleep]. I know what it is.
- I feel like I might've watched this as a kid,
'cause it looks really familiar.
- I love all the music in all of these.
It's just so-- I wanna swing dance to it.
- (FBE) Do you know this one? - No, I don't know it.
- I can't put a name to it. - I don't know.
- Married to a Witch Lady? I don't know.
- Is that "Bewitched"? - "Bewitched"?
- That is "Bewitched."
- (FBE) This one's "Bewitched." - "Bewitched."
Yeah, that sounds about right.
- "Bewitched." Okay, that sounds very familiar.
I've never seen it, though.
- (FBE) This show is about a witch who marries an ordinary mortal man
and vows to lead the life of a typical suburban housewife.
- Yeah, I definitely remember watching this.
That's a really cute idea.
- You know, all of these shows sound more entertaining
than the modern shows that are on.

- James Bond wasn't a TV show.
- I wanna be a spy.
- Ah, got it already.
- I feel like I've heard this music before.
- Yes, Mel Brooks, a king. A comedy king in the '60s.
- Mm. I think it is-- I think I know what it is.
- Typical spy move. Is the elevator gonna drop down now?
Yup. (chuckles)
- Telephone booths are a weirdly common part
of pop culture staples.
- (FBE) Do you know it? - Ah, no.
- I hope this is not wrong, 'cause it'd be so bad.
Is this "Batman"? - "Get Smart"?
- That is "Get Smart."
- "Get Smart." (claps)
- (FBE) This is the opening for "Get Smart."
- Oh! I don't think I would've got that.
- (FBE) So, this series centers on bumbling secret agent Maxwell Smart
also known as Agent 86 and his female partner, Agent 99.
In 2008, this series was made into a feature film
starring Steve Carrell and Anne Hathaway.
- Love them. Love spy movies.
- I would definitely watch a show that it was based off of,
because I liked the idea of it.

I don't know if you're gonna include the bleeps in the episode,

own movies as well.

- They thought that this was gonna be what the 21st century looks like.
- And then he hands the wife some money,
and she takes the wallet.
- We still don't have flying cars.
- (chuckles) I like that shows in the '60s don't need
to have a pilot episode. They can just tell you the plot
in the theme song, and you're like, "All right. I'm caught up."
- (FBE) Do you know it? - (hesitantly) The Jets?
Something to do with jets? (chuckles)
- That is "The Jetsons."
- "The Jetsons." - "The Jetsons"!
- "The Jetsons." How do you not know "The Jetsons"?
- (FBE) This is the opening to "The Jetsons."
- "The Jetsons"! Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I feel like I watched that as a kid.
- I remember it being funny and futuristic
and making me excited for flying cars,
which I have still yet to see.
♪ (quirky interlude) ♪
♪ (upbeat jazz music) ♪ - (voice-over) Starring [bleep].
- I don't know if I know that one.
- (laughs) He's a dad, and he's stupid.
But he's not fat, so it's not like a 2000s sitcom.
- (voice-over) And Mary Tyler Moore. - Oh my god, Dick Van Dyke.
- That's it? That's all you're gonna give me?
- I feel like if I tripped and fell, my family would be like,
"Oh, there's Brianna, just being a klutz."
- (FBE) Do you know this one? - I wanted to say
"The Andy Griffith Show" when it first started,
and then, very quickly got off that. No clue.
- I don't know it. - No, nothing.
- Is it "The Dick Van Dyke Show"? - "The Dick Van Dyke Show"?
- (FBE) So, this one is "The Dick Van Dyke Show."
- [Bleep]. I knew it! I was gonna say
it looks like his name's Dick.
- I've heard of "The Dick Van Dyke Show,"
but I don't think I knew what that was.
- (FBE) "The Dick Van Dyke Show" was the last show
to have its entire run filmed in black and white.
The show was due to be shot in color after the fifth season,
but never happened because of the cast
and producer's decision to end the show after five seasons.
It ran from 1961 to 1966.
- That sucks. That would've been cool
to have it transition, be like a show that's half black and white
and half color. I like that.
- It would've been so cool for the audience to see
how it actually looked like.
- Any kind of old pop culture is fascinating to watch,
'cause it's very much based in that time period.
It's about what's going on in people's lives during that time.
So, it's kind of like a very fun, great history lesson.
- I know it's hard to watch it now with the comedy we have,
but if you go back and watch that and think of the times then,
those shows were really smart and really well done.
