These shows were so fun! Jack Benny, captain kangaroo, every other commercial in those days were for cigarettes. I found ones the flintstones did for Winston right here on you tube. The flintstones sold beer. On shows every other commercial was for smokes and everyone on the shows smoked! So many kids from that era grew up smoking including me. Now I'm on oxygen 24/7 and have had lung cancer. My husband had surgery for lung cancer but passed away from lymphoma. That was terrible the way they peddled those things.

When I was a kid in the 50s you couldn't say poopie out loud in mixed company, let alone on t.v., and that's a fact. Reactions to things even a little off-color on television were straight out of the Victorian era. So those shows are humorous to look back on. Today's p.c. culture is more profane by a magnitude of ten, and people are difficult to shock. You can be as filthy or provocative as you want as long as you don't puncture politically sacred cows. The results of doing that at present are scary, not funny. You can lose your job or your bank account.

Lest we be heard to complain about the quality of televised entertainment today...not all these are bloopers. Behold the infancy of "Almost Live TV" when videotape gave you maybe one chance at a retake but plenty opportunities for setups. I don't doubt Jack Benny gets one but his recovery is priceless. Two entertainers you dared not pull a gaffe on: Red Skelton (who you don't see here) and Henry Morgan (who you do). Indeed, that's a William Shatner sighting at 9:55, and even then he shows. Presence. An all-too-brief sample of Nichols and May. I can only guess the host at 11:25. And sadly without sound at 23:13 is Discovery '63, which I very likely haven't seen since...well, '63...with Frank Buxton and Virginia Gibson.

As I watch these old clips from live television of the '50s, I'm struck by how primitive they seem -- and yet how real they are. The medium was being invented. Nothing was polished. And these were real people, trying to figure out how one performs on television. Oh, the content is interesting enough -- this must have been the equivalent of a studio party reel. Some clips could never have aired. But far more interesting to me is that this is the way people who worked in television during its infancy goofed off.

I was definitely no child prodigy and at that age had I no critical acumen but when I watched it as an early elementary school kid , I couldn't believe its stupidity and tackiness and the uneducated adults who appeared on the show . That sketch was actually closer to the real thing than being a mere satire.
