The Betty White Show
Traditionally, the 'Queen of Television' title goes to Lucille Ball but since she's gone I believe the mantle has been passed to Betty White; no other TV star has enjoyed so much success over the last 60 years.

John Wayne's Final Years
A
longing look at the legend's last years. His TV appearances,
battles with cancer, the last great adventure films and how the Duke faced
death head on. "On location in Durango, Mexico, he amazed me,"
film producer Hal Wallis stated. "Even though he was functioning
on one lung and had a terrible scar running down his back, he showed
no sign of illness or weakness. He did this own riding, roped in
steers, rounded up cattle, and handled the fight scenes without
a double. Only occasionally, in high country, was he short of breath."

Heil Honey, I'm Home!
It's Heil Honey, I'm Home, the trials and domestic travails of Adolph Hitler and Eva Braun, a not-so-typical suburban couple. The program was presented as if it were an unearthed sitcom from the 1950s. In a nod to that classic sitcom cliche, the first storylines centered around Eva being unprepared for Hitler's important business associate (Neville Chamberlain) coming for dinner and the couple's new neighbors dropping in unexpectedly. The neighbors just happen to be Jewish. WATCH IT FOR YOURSELF AFTER THE JUMP!

Timmie Rogers
I
was thinking the other day about the great, pionering black comic
Timmie Rogers. He came up through vaudeville, he was one of (if
not the) first black comedians to appear without blackface
makeup in the 1940s. Yes, even the 'negro' comics had to wear blackface back in the day!

What Happened to What's Happening!!?
"Haywood was a really good kid and Ernest was an
excellent actor. Fred Berry was the one to look out for. He could be trouble.
He received many of the show's big laughs. Unfortunately, he later had
some personal problems that carried over onto the set. After
I had left the show, there was a big contract dispute and I was told that
Fred was the instigator behind the trouble that followed. He convinced
Ernest and Haywood to join him in a strike for more money. Eventually,
the producers simply had enough of the boys' antics and they closed the
series down."

1970s Phenomenon : The Gong Show
Chuck Barris
was responsible for some of the most popular programs of the sixties,
primetime and daytime hits like 'The Dating
Game' and 'The Newlywed Game'. These pseudo-game shows fed off
of an individual's willingness to do anything to be on television, 'The
Gong Show' would take that premise a step further. ABC
bought the show for nighttime syndication, to debut in the fall of 1976.

Video Village - Game Show for Kids!
Las Vegas in 1977!
1977. It was the year Las Vegas lost its biggest draw, Elvis Presley. Elvis first attempted a Vegas foothold in the 1950s but it was a not successful, his hip-shaking rockabilly persona was considered a vulgar affront to the well-dressed, cool cat Rat Pack crowd. It was Frank, Dean, and Sammy that defined this desert oasis.

Sky King
"Out of the blue of the western sky comes... Sky King!" Nabisco's kid friendly cowboy in the air was popular for two decades on the weekends - and years before that on radio. Likable stars Kirby Grant and Gloria Winters were matched with believable scripts, stark desert scenery and exciting aerial shots.

1980's
PUNK ROCK
In the early-eighties, young people in Los Angeles were flocking to
makeshift clubs in droves to see new, up and coming bands. Live new
music, not DJs, was what they craved. These writings provide a sketchy
look at the underground club scene in Los Angeles during the time
that groups like X, Missing Persons, The Go-Go's, The Minutemen and
Wall of Voodoo entered the public consciousness.
