Watch Around The Clock in Color ~ 24 Hours of Shows, Movies, Cartoons, and Commercials ~ #Spon #Ad #Review


Watch Around The Clock in Color ~ 24 Hours of Shows, Movies, Cartoons, and Commercials

Recently I had the pleasure to get to review a DVD set called Watch Around The Clock ~ 24 Hours of Shows, Movies, Cartoons, and Commericials which had some great nostalgic shows that I remember from childhood and still watch some of them to this day. 

Guess What! I got another DVD set to review with the same title, only some awesome different television shows, movies, cartoons and commercials. It is called Watch Around The Clock in Color. Actually, the one I received is a little different than the one on the Mill Creek Entertainment website. I don't know if they changed it but I really liked what I received.  This set has 4 discs and includes the following titles:


Disc One:  Kids's Clubhouse
Popeye & Friends
Casper the Friendly Ghost
Gumby
Fraidy Cat
Wacky & Packy
Hoppity Hooper
Clutch Cargo & Friends
Colonel Bleep
Space Angel
Captain Fathom
Mr. Piper

Disc Two: Daytime Variety
Gulliver's Travels
The Borrowers
Rescue from Gilligan's Island
The Over-The-Hill Gang

Disc Three: Prime-Time Favorites
The Lone Ranger
Long John Silver
The Cisco Kid
Judge Roy Bean
Rango
Dusty's Trail
The Lucy Show
Bonanza
Mannix

Disc Four: Midnight Movie Marathon
The Last Time I Saw Paris
The Snows of Kilimanjaro
The Proud Rebel



Some of these shows I remembered from my childhood, such as Popeye, Gumby, Gulliver's Travels, The Lone Ranger, The Lucy Show, Bonanza and Mannix. It was like taking a trip back in time watching some of these old shows and cartoons. They are feel good shows which are great for the whole family to watch together!

I always liked the cartoon Popeye and it's just as funny as it was when I was little. Also I remember watching The Lucy Show on television because Lucy was always so comical and got in such predicaments.

Other memories of mine include watching The Lone Ranger and Bonanza which were great cowboy or western shows. I still watch Bonanza occasionally on reruns on television.

Some of my favorite actors in the Midnight Movie Marathon include Donna Reed, Gregory Peck, Van Johnson Ava Gardner, Olivia de Havilland, Elizabeth Taylor, to mention a few.

The approximate running time of the entire lineup of shows is 24 hours. The shows are all in color and are not rated. There is also a bonus digital access plus a holiday DVD that you can get when you purchase this set.

A big thank you to Mill Creek Entertainment for the great set I received to review. If you are interested it sells for $29.98. With Christmas rolling around before you know it, this would be great for gifts, or for yourself!

SYNOPSIS

Relive a Day-In-The-Life from Television’s Golden Age with this 24 Hour Lineup
Gather the family around the television for a nostalgic television trip down memory lane.  This incredible 5-DVD collection features non-stop programming from the Golden Age of Television as if you’ve gone back in time.  Starting with early morning cartoons for the kids, daytime programming which includes all your favorite game shows, then all your favorite prime-time hits during the evening and then into the wee morning hours with star-studded movies all complete with commercials from the era.  It’s an experience like none other!



If you have ever read some of my blog posts, you might remember that I really love old movies and televisions from years gone by. They just don't make them like they used to, according to my taste.


I was excited to be able to get the Watch Around The Clock DVD from Mill Creek Entertainment recently. It includes television shows, movies, cartoons and commercials. It will take you back to your childhood and even before mine; and includes 24 hours of programming altogether. You get 4 discs which include the following:

Disc One - Kid's Clubhouse (Morning)
Disc Two - Daytime Variety (Afternoon)
Disc Three - Prime-Time Favorites (Evening)
Disc Four - Midnight Movie Marathon (Late Night)

I remember some of the wonderful television shows for kids such as Lassie, Popeye and Superman. Others include Betty Boop, Felix the Cat, Calvin & The Colonel, Howdy Doody, The Pinky Lee Show, Time for Beany, Winky Dink and You, The Rootie Kazootie Club, Paul Winchell and Jerry Mahoney which were on in the morning.


Some of the daytime shows I remember were Queen for A Day, Art Linkletter and The Kids, To Tell The Truth, What's My Line, and The Price is Right (which still is on now). Others include People Are Funny, You Asked For It,  Who Do You Trust, You Bet Your Life, Twenty-One, G.E. Theatre and Four Star Playhouse.

The evening shows include quite a few that I remember and liked a lot including Dragnet, Make Room For Daddy, The Dick Van Dyke Show, The Beverly Hillbillies, The Andy Griffith Show and The Johnny Carson Show. Others include The Roy Rogers Show, Annie Oakley, The Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet, The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show and The Milton Berle Show.


The Midnight Movie Marathon includes 3 movies, including The Strange Love of Martha Ivers, Cyrano de Bergerac and The Man With Golden Arm. I've seen The Man With The Golden Arm on TCM a few times and it's a great movie. 

If you want to go back in time to watch some good televisions shows, movies, cartoons and commercials this would be a great DVD set for you! With Christmas coming up (yes, it's only 3 months away), this would be a great gift for someone you may know! Mill Creek Entertainmment has such a wide variety of products for your viewing pleasure, that I'm sure you'll find something you will like.
