There are ten shows to watch, talk about early tv.

Wasn't he the guy the wore dresses on tv.

4. I vaguely remember my parents watching "Uncle Miltie."

The ones I thought were awesome were the Carol Burnett Show.

“I saw it in a window, and I just couldn’t resist it.”



(It's in the Smithsonian now!)

5. I remember watching that.

The Carol Burnett show was great.

It is still funny after all these years.

6. Looks like that's the second run with Buick as the sponsor...

from the 50s. He was really huge on the Texaco Hour from '48 for a few years.

I was just barely old enough to remember the '50s shows, and a lot of his guest appearances. He was required viewing for the family, as was Ed Sullivan.

7. I can remember Ed Sullivan very well.

I don't remember watching Milton.

8. Berle ended his run sometime in the mid '50s, while Sullivan...

just seemed to go on forever.

9. Same here.

Remember seeing the Beatles on Ed Sullivan? Elvis?

[texanwitch]

11. I didn't watch the Beatles when they were on Ed's show for some reason.

I do remember everyone being excited about it.
