How it feels

This is a live action comedy series from the 1960s. It is a spoof that humorously re-edits old silent film clips to create new funny stories. The show was produced by Jay Ward, famous for his cartoon work.

What happens

Fractured Flickers is a live-action syndicated half-hour comedy television program produced by Jay Ward, who is otherwise known for cartoons. The pilot film was produced in 1961 (hence the 1961 copyright notice on the animated main title), but the series was not completed until 1963. Twenty-six episodes were produced; they were syndicated by Desilu Productions and played for several years on local stations. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
