1958 TV Show Intros Part 1 of 2

The character Mr. Moore is playing - 'Bill Cruller' - Is obviously a parody on Bill Cullen, the host of the original 'The Price Is Right', from '56 to '65.

Our RCA Victor 19 inch TV died that year after an episode of Zorro,(probably couldn't stand the acting.). I have fond memories of 1958. Times are much different now. Carol Burnett is a genius, and we all miss her on Network TV. God bless, Carol.

Jock Mahoney was Sally Field's father

Really?

[Juliaflo]

Step-father, actually.

Ne Jacques O'Mahoney, lest you are interested.

@alleycat62021 Correction, Mahoney was Field's STEPfather.

Kenlo: Jock was her step father, not her biological father.

Ok, I know these clips are 11 yrs before my time, but I don't understand the Garry Moore show. That's clearly Aunt Clara (Marion Lorne), George 'G'obel, and Carol Burnett, but why are they playing other people? Was that just part of the show?

[alleycat62021]

It was a skit on his show. They put together a fake TV show and had Gobel, Burnett etal play playing the cast. Burnett used to do these on her show all the time.

In the close up shot of the 77 Sunset Strip intro, they're in a '58 T-bird, but in the long shot of the street, they're driving a full size '58 Ford Fairlane.

W@e had only had our Admiral "portable" B&W TV for about a year when the Fall, 1958 TV onslaught hit. What a season!
