SYNOPSIS:
ON THIS DISC:
Episode from Kukla, Fran And Ollie 1948 – 1957
Kukla, Fran And Ollie debuted as a local Chicago show entitled Junior Jamboree and was renamed in 1948 when the installation of a coaxial cable linking the East Coast to the Midwest expanded its broadcast range. Established radio star Fran Allison played herself on the show as the perfect counterbalance to the antics of the puppets, and her uncanny ability to ad-lib allowed the show to run completely unscripted and unrehearsed.
Kukla, Fran And Ollie featured the creations of Burr Tillstrom, considered one of the greats in puppet history. He voiced and performed all of the puppet characters on the show and is credited with creating the puppeteering technique of watching the action on a small monitor while performing the characters, a practice still in use today.
Episode from Howdy Doody 1947 – 1960
Howdy Doody evolved from The Triple B Ranch, a radio program that featured the voice of “Buffalo” Bob Smith as himself and a character named Elmer who opened the show by saying “Howdy Doody.” When Howdy Doody premiered on television it was an hour-long series that aired on Saturdays, but in 1948 it became the first network children’s show to run five days a week, and eventually was broadcast in color in 1955. “Buffalo” Bob Smith created and hosted the show, as well as providing the voice of Howdy Doody.
For the show’s final episode, Clarabelle the Clown—who never uttered a word throughout the program run—finally spoke the series’ very last two words, saying, “Goodbye, kids.”
Episode from Lassie 1954 – 1974
Originally created in 1938 by Eric Knight for a short story published in the Saturday Evening Post, Lassie became an immediate sensation that spawned a full-length novel, a feature film starring an 11-year-old named Elizabeth Taylor, a radio show and, in 1954, the Lassie television series.
The series—which ran for an amazing 20 years and won two of six Emmy Awards for which it was nominated—originally starred 13-year-old film veteran Tommy Rettig as Jeff Miller, Lassie’s faithful owner and best friend for 110 episodes.
Episode from Annie Oakley 1954 – 1957
The real Annie Oakley, on whom this character was loosely based, was a sharpshooter with Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show in the late 1800s. As a television series, Annie Oakley hit the entertainment bull’s-eye every week for three years in the mid-1950s.
Having appeared in dozens of both big- and small-screen Westerns, including 14 features with Gene Autry, Gail Davis was a natural to play the title role in the television series. In fact, Autry’s own Flying ‘A’ Productions coproduced Annie Oakley’s syndicated 81-episode run.
Episode from Flash Gordon 1954
Alex Raymond’s Flash Gordon comic strip, which debuted in 1934, has been translated into radio serials, animated television series, numerous feature films, comic books and novels over the past 50 years. This incarnation—filmed in Germany less than a decade after the end of World War II—was the first, and only, live-action television series up until 2007 and starred chiseled Steve Holland as Flash Gordon, operative of the Galaxy Bureau of Investigation.
