The early 60’s television was once described as a vast wasteland. What term would Newton Minow use to describe the TV garbage shown in 2017?

I think I've listened to all the radio shows. The problem is they use the same actors over and over again. One actor for old men, once actor for young men, one actress for little girls, etc. If you listen to them straight through it gets tough after a while. Plus, it can be bleak.

Much more than a wasteland. It now is a smelly garbage can filled with rotting meat, once chewed and spit out. Disgusting, no?

Their inability to take a WINNER and remake it into new entertainment only shows how desperate they’ve become. The successes might be counted on one hand. Such a pity the left has doomed this industry just as they’ve doomed pretty much everything else.

I have all the Serlock Holmes with Leslie Howard's son. Have you seen the Dangerous Assignment show? I've heard the radio shows.

The Inner Sanctum!
WOW

DANGEROUS ASSIGNMENT - this, morphed into television. It has been playing locally OTA on either Hot or the Retro sub-channels It came on in the evenings about 6 PM

Not quite old enough to remember many radio shows. More of the older TV shows instead (b:1947) But do remember parents/grandparents speaking of those they loved to gather round and listen to the sounds played on radio.

And the rest of the cry in your beer story.

===============================================

"The Manhattan-based Walter Reade Organization agreed to show the film uncensored, but changed the title from Night of the Flesh Eaters to Night of the Living Dead because a film had already been produced under a similar title to the former.[35] While changing the title, the copyright notice was accidentally deleted from the early releases of the film." - wiki

I’m glad that the Dinah Shore Chevy programs made in colour from about 1959 to 1963 were kept. Those really blow you out of your seat, seeing that era in colour videotape.

What would I give to borrow the Back to the Future DeLorean to go back to some time in the early 1970s and try to save the NBC program archive that got trashed by some faceless executive who apparently decided in about 1975 that the original Match Game (1962 to 1969) and other game shows from the 1950s to the early 1970s, soaps featuring appearances by later to be famous actors, and other priceless treasures were not worth keeping anymore.

I remember the Dinah Moore show. One week, long ago, after watching her show, we saw the broadcast of “THIS IS YOUR LIFE” honoring Dinah Shore Of course, after that, the next Dinah show aired we made a point to see and we were so disappointed in the fact she never acknowledged the honor.

How naive we were. :-)
