FAMILY TV CLASSICS – VOL. 1

Family TV Classics - Vol. 1

Television programming has had a huge impact on American culture. Many have dubbed the 1950s as the Golden Age of Television. TV sets were expensive and so the audience was generally affluent. So television mostly broadcast serious dramas and plays. As the households with TVs multiplied and spread to other segments of society, more varied programming came in. Situation comedies and variety shows were formats that were borrowed from radio. Former vaudeville stars like Milton Berle, Sid Caesar and Jackie Gleason found stardom after years of toiling on the stages. Ernie Kovacs was one of the first comedians to really understand and exploit the technology of television and became a master of the sight gag.During the 50s, quiz shows became popular until a scandal erupted. For three years, producers of “The $64,000 Question” supplied an appealing contestant with the answers to tough trivia questions to heighten the drama.During this time, many of the genres that today’s audiences are familiar with were developed —westerns, kids’ shows, situation comedies, sketch comedies, game shows, dramas, news and sports programming.

PLEASE NOTE: These episodes are not repeats of the Timeless Media or Alpha Video releases. Upon review of the Timeless Media episodes we discovered all there transfers have an annoying “digital jump” in every episode. In addition, episodes were edited for time so they could cram more on each disc. All of the Timeless Media episodes are missing the introductions. Also, beware of compilation sets. Most episodes in these collections have been chopped up or edited and in many cases the episodes are not complete or original. Nostalgia Merchant takes pride in preserving and digitally remastering the original films using the best available assets.
