An old sitcom from 1969. This should have been recorded directly from the CBS network line given that the high quality is so good. This is just an edited example, not the entire program. It gives you a taste of the show and how television broadcast played back from a 2″ Quad VTR looked back in the 60s.

Oh, and BTW, I LOVE Green Acres! The CBS run was before my time but I have enjoyed the reruns. I laughed harder on this one clip than I have watching ANY sitcom of the last 10 years.
This is the CBS sound, all right. When I was a kid, I watched so much TV in the early 70s that by the time I was 5 or 6, I could tell by sound only which network I was watching. Each’s network’s audio sounded different. Even today, when I watch TV, my mind wants to “hear” these networks the same way the audio sounded in the 70s.
Thanks for sharing, use to watch this on TV as a kid.
Sarah Palin and her family move to Washington.. The Washington Hillbillies. They’d have a cee-ment pond and everything.
haney could sell parkas in hell….the best salesman ever…..
Green Acres brings me back to my childhood & looking at this brilliant comedy reminds me of that more innocent time when things were less complicated and society seemed happier
Love this. Great quality. These tapes are such wonderful snapshot of our history. More please! About the sound: aside from the obvious frequency limitations, as a kid during the analog era, I always noticed that audio from the network shows had sort of a “roomy” or “spatial” sound that you didn’t hear with locally produced content. I’ve always surmised that this must have been due to the numerous repeaters and amplifiers in the chain modifying the analog waveforms ever so slightly.
I’ve found out that this telco sound was Class A intercity, 100 Hz-5 kHz. New York got the high-quality Class AAA 50 Hz-15 kHz; there was another classification, AA, which was 50 Hz-8 kHz, but I doubt TV stations used 8 kHz telco.
@jpvp2 – CBS in those days, at their Television City studios in Hollywood and at the Broadcast Center in New York, had 4-vidicon General Electric PE-240 model film chains/slide scanners. (As with their ordering Norelco PC-60 and 70 color studio cameras, their equipment ordering policy with telecines was “anything but RCA.”) However, four of the five CBS O&O’s (except WCBS in New York, of course) back then had RCA TK-27 chains, and WCAU in Philly had RCA TK-42 studio cameras.
@Audiovideopark – What would have been the bottom end of the AT&T L.L. telco audio – 50 Hz or 100 Hz? I know 5 kHz was the top end.
im 35 and just love this show its a great show thumbs up for green acres
