We have so many great episodes of You Bet Your Life by an amazing accident. Groucho's show was always filmed because nobody could be sure Groucho would keep his comments PG. Years later, NBC called Marx's home to ask what they should do with all the cans of film from the shows they still had in the vaults. Groucho's nephew happened to answer the phone so he asked Groucho what should be done. Marx was livid. "Burn them! I don't care!". The nephew said to go ahead and send them to Groucho's home in Hollywood. There were so many cans of film, they had to be delivered by parcel truck. When Groucho saw he had been disobeyed, he flew into another tirade. So, the nephew agreed to painstakingly chronicle every can and what was on them then donated them to UCLA. Groucho fully intended to have them all destroyed.

I just turned 7. We mainly watched shows on CBS this year with ABC the next most likely. Bonanza was however one of the top favorites. Years later in reruns I now realize Thriller and Alfred Hitchcock were welll done. Also remember watching Wagon Train, Bachelor Father, Dinah Shore, and Bat Masterson.
@gerrynightingale90455 жыл бұрын
I barely remember most of these...but a few are so 'locked-in' in memory that just a little musical intro is enough to bring it all back, like "Groucho'. (I don't remember Tab Hunter having a TV show at all! That was surprising) I was six in 1960...but I remember more of 'then' than I do of last year! It's odd how memories work of 'what to keep' and 'what to let go'.

Amidst all those violent westerns, detective shows & inane sitcoms, it was good to know that there was a show like The Bell Telephone Hour. A pity such a show cannot exist on today's "RealityTV" polluted airwaves. I became a fan of Thriller when i first saw it on Chicago TV a couple of years ago.

"Bachelor Father" was the only TV show to air on the Big Three Networks at the time. Meanwhile, "The Westerner" was created by Sam Peckinpah ("The Wild Bunch", "Straw Dogs"). It only lasted 13 episodes since it was up against "The Flintstones" on ABC and "Route 66" on CBS. "The Deputy" was co-created by Norman Lear ("All In The Family") Of all of those shows, "Meet The Press" lasted the longest and is still on the air.

It also means that the ones I DID see in my early years were probably the most successful, (LARAMIE and BONANZA, for example), while the others I was only able to watch when they hit syndication.

When probably didn't improve Milty's mood any. But he did go on to make some big movies in the 60s, though it's true he was no longer really "Mr. Television" by this point.

All depends on how particular one wants to be.

If you had a very good tax attorney. The rate up until Kennedy took office was in the 90 percent range. I would hope that Berle's deal was structured, maybe like Jack Benny's, which was a capital gain (CBS bought his "Amusement Enterprises" which owned the show outright...Jack still owned himself) for which he paid a much lower rate (20% I think) which put lots of keeping money into his pocket. If Jack, after taxes and business expenses could take home 1 1/2 million in 1949, that was stratospheric for the day. I may be wrong about the numbers; willing to be corrected!
