5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding insight and background information Feb 12 2008
By S. V. Anderson - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
This series is among the finest documenting television's early history. Complete with interviews from those involved with the earliest broadcasts and programs, this series reveals the inside story behind the quiz show scandal, the Smother's Brothers cancelation, the popularity of Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In, as well as the various talk shows to grace late-night television. Each program discusses one facet of television's history: game shows, talk shows, comedy, etc...

A must for those interested in the history of the medium.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Informative Oct 31 2008
By Timothy M. Ritze - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
As a child of the 60's, growing up watching television, I found this DVD to be very entertaining and informative. Lot's of trivia in this progam. I would recommend it to anyone under 50 for a better understanding of what good television was, and the people who made it.
