Members davd_indigo Posted April 17, 2018 Members Share Posted April 17, 2018 I caught this today on an old "I've Got A Secret". The organ is exposed at around 4 minutes in, if you want to cut to the chase. [video=youtube;QjKUj5vt9eQ] 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members davd_indigo Posted April 23, 2018 Author Members Share Posted April 23, 2018 TV sure was better back then. Some of the TV back then was excellent. I noticed some of the quirky inventive stuff they were doing on "I've Got A Secret", then noticed that the producer was Alan Sherman. The guy who came up with "Hello Mudda Hello Fadda". There was one episode where the joke was on Garry Moore. The secret was that he was going to be crated up and sent over to Birdland to play drums with Count Basie and the band. They crated him up in a cage and sent him over in a moving van. Another innovator in his day was Steve Allen. I saw David Letterman way back in his NBC days give credit to Steve Allen for the inspiration for some of their wacky gags.

CMS Author MikeRivers Posted April 24, 2018 CMS Author Share Posted April 24, 2018 there's a couple of TV stations down here, terrestrial stations (Broadcast) that play nothing but old TV shows... Last year I got hooked on the old Columbo shows. They were produced just like movies of the day - a real plot development, interesting characters, frequently using real stars as main characters. There's one with Johnny Cash playing a country musician (who kills his wife and mother-in-law, of course). What if Lt. Columbo drove a shiny new Volvo?
