It is ironic. I saw Kennedy in Downtown Fort Worth just two hours before his death , and the very first thing I ever saw on this computer when installed in June 2009 was the notice of Walter Cronkite's grave (and terminal) illness.

This was the VERY GREATEST 'journalist's report in the history ...

@TheSamAndrewEvans Yes, he did. And, only five executions followed , the last being Ruth Ellis.

I know it's silly , but the Misfit Toys segment of Rudolph (when telecast each year) is just as the most important TWO MINUTES of the year as is the Kentucky Derby.

Hasn't ,the last 47 years since this was first shown , the most important thing in this country been to downplay the differences be...

I said the moment I saw this that it was Eisenhower's greatest moment as

former president. The poise & intellect he showed as an elder statesman in

his choice of words to express calmly but with force of purpose was very settleing

to a nation that afternoon on the edge ( I remember) of an emotion...

These (Adolph) "Zukor" Popeye Cartoons made from 1933 thru 1939 in general taught a strong moral lesson.And, this cartoon was the best of these

It's a "given" this cartoon is horribly racist. But, the Meat Ration coupons and the little ditty "You take the high rib and I'll take the low rib.." was funny.

Thanks for posting "Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol" in its full version.

I had not seen that 3 1/2 minute introduction since 1964 when NBC after its third annual run "cut it" after TIMEX stopped (no pun intended) its full sponsorship of the program. (Yes, all three years 1962-64 featured those Cla...

@Seaborne66 This Cartoon should be in the National Film Registry along with Walt Disney's 1950 "Motor Mania" and MGM's 1939 "Peace on Earth" as the three greatest (arguably) aminated cartoon shorts ever made.

All of the taught a strong moral lesson for all times.

This was the last Regular Season NFL game (Dec. 7,1941) Philadelphia at Washington. Redskin QB Sam Baugh was the last survivor of that game and I undderstand JFK was attending that game when the annoucement was made.

And, as Baugh many years later said, the announement that all military and re...

Nobody realizes that if YOMAMA gets DEFEATED for re-election Next year,

that the NEW PRESIDENT will be the very first NEW Cheif Executive in US History

to assume the office on a SUNDAY (January 20, 2013)

Cliff Robertson was the last surviving villian from the Batnan TV Series.

That 1951 Nash that Phyllis Coates (Lois) drove in several of these "Film Noir" Superman episodes was the ugliest automobile ever manufactured in the United States.

@bbat4ever9000 You are wrong. Check it out, both "Wilma" and "Betty" died of lung cancer.

Fifty-one years ago tonight, My parents bought my first grade school supples.

Amoung them was my "Lawman" school lunch box with that fragle thermos bottle..and those things never lasted a school year with any elementary school kid

then. I wish i still had that lunch kit,cause used (no thermos) it...

It was great to see this "I Love Lucy" Christmas episode considering it was only shown once (Dec.17,1990) colorized on CBS. It thought then it would become an annual telecast

In the next five years, all 182 "I Love Lucy"'s will need to be both remastered and colorized if they are to be enjoyed b...

There were only five executions that took place on this gallows in Cornwall.

The first one was a woman.

@Rick6315 Hal Smith was a great talent. He also voiced several characters for Hanna & Barbera in 1960's & "Davey & Goliath" for Art Clokey. Smith also did numerous commerical narrations & voice overs and

had that great role of the Mayor of the Western town in "The Great Race"

Why wasn't this in COLOR?

@vmpickle123 Thank you for the clarification about "Porky's Bear Facts"

This was the BIGGEST "re-tread" in Television History.

Arnaz used his old crew Davis & Carroll as Writers, Wilbur Hatch to do the music and probably 35 old re-tooled "Lucy" scripts in this series..especially the two baby episodes. How the series got renewed for a second season and Roger C. Car...

No KIDDING! I saw this episode on Friday, January 28,1972 just after returning

from my first (ever) date. I knew this was a pilot to get Ron(ny) Howard back into

a series after "The Smith Family" (Remember it ??) . Never thought it would sell,

especially with Harold Gould as his father.. I thoug...

Bing Crosby was "PLAYING with FIRE" when this show debuted (in Black & White) on Friday, September 17,1965. Despite so many of the actors on the show having actually suffered in some or large part at the hands of the Nazis , many Americans that night still had the numbers of the concentration ca...

If I understood it right. Ernest Borgnine and Joe Flynn did not like each other ONE IOTA! Other out takes from the show I have seen would seem to verify this

Even good natured Carl Ballentine considered Flynn a notorious sceen stealer

But, it was nearly fifty years ago.

@judsons Man, you "hit it on the head" .My brother & I both had personal gags about this episode for 3 years after this . I had a very serious accident six weeks after this episode first aired. I was going into surgery on afternoon minutes after I saw Jan Murray's afternoon show in the hospita...

@LosAngeleno1959 Alex Stone (Carl Betz character in the show) was a doctor. It was obvoiusly someone calling to BELLYACHE..

@evad41 It stands for NAtional BIScuit COmpany. The letters NBC were on many of their cookie & cracker products. But, because the abbreviation became so MUCH MORE associated with the National Broadcasting Company, they changed to the popular acroynm circa 1954. Check it out

@snhtown9 DARN!!!! You beat me to the joke.

@bigred997 Yes, this is an unforgiving industry. Jerry Van Dyke, who had so much promise, failed with "My Mother the Car" in 1965 abd worse with "Accidential Family" two years later. It was 20 years before he could redeem himself in "Coach". About this series , Harry Morgan said it best in a 196...

Look closely @0:22. Russell Johnson once said " if you blink you will miss it, but the flag in the background is at half-mast for the 30 day mourning period following the Kennedy assassination" when this famous intro was first filmed.

And a Happy 89th Birthday to William Shallert who was one of the very

"Television fathers" in the history of the medium and an execllent actor in his own right.

Feel free to correct me if wrong. But, A) wasn't this woman convicted of

planed premeditated MURDER in a court of law with benefit of defense council by rules of evidence and B) Given SIX YEARS in the appelate process after conviction

prior to being hanged December 1, 2010 ?

I liked this series as a kid. Denver Pyle was at his best in it.

But, I now agree with thecritic quoted in TV Guide magazine in November 1965

" So sickening sweet it would give you a case if diabetis"

@CathyQuinton Good to the last drop.

@MegaSpliffster Hey, I remember a February 1977 TV Guide article contrasting 1950's & 1970's

Sitcoms. The tag line was "When a story line about A SUIT , meant clothes NOT Paternity..

And, the 24 examples of like items from comedies of both decades illustratued how society HAD DEGENERATED durin...
