Too bad the Senators' only AL pennants came during the early part of the 20th Century, 1924, 1925 and 1933. They only had one World Championship team, when they won the World Series in 1924. Hall of Fame pitcher Walter Johnson retired from baseball in 1927. He was born in Brea (Orange County),...

The host of Shivaree, which was done in L.A. at KABC-TV and syndicated in 1965 and '66, was Gene Weed, who was a popular DJ at KFWB channel 98 from 1958 to 1968. Gene later went on to become vice president of television for Dick Clark Productions and was in charge of numerous big TV specials, a...

I was lucky enough to see them at a New Year's Eve Party at Disneyland in Anaheim, CA in 1983 or '84, and they were so funny! Just great.

And, Dick Powell was one of the regulars on the CBS "Hollywood Hotel:" radio show each week, too.

I grew up in Southern California, but first we lived in small town, Santa Maria, CA till 1965, with only 2 or 3 TV channels. When we moved in August of 1965 to Anaheim, we stayed in a motel across from Disneyland till our house was ready. That first night at 6 pm in the motel, on KTTV-channel 1...

Speaking of radio station KMTR in Hollywood (KLAC-570-AM since 1946), Paul Whiteman and his orchestra did their Old Gold radio show for the CBS network in 1929-'30, while they were in Hollywood to make the movie "The King of Jazz." Maybe that is how Bailey was able to meet Whiteman and get her d...

ABC executives were idiots for messing with success, and moving this fine family sitcom from Friday nights, to Monday night, where it got killed in the ratings during its 3rd season, but it got cancelled due to poor rating opposite CBS-TV's Gunsmoke and NBC's Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In.

I think that Al Jarvis, Betty's co-host at KLAC-TV channel 13 in Hollywood in the late-1940s to early-'50s, discovered Jimmy Boyd

Great to see a video of Tommy Collins doing his own song!! Wow, very nice. During the 1970s to the 1990s, one verse of this song was featured at Disneyland in their "Country Bear Jamboree" attraction. They also used a verse of the 1968 Buck Owens hit song "How Long Will My Baby Be Gone" in th...

Great song from a by-gone era. How about 1963, when the Dodgers swept the mighty Yankees 4-straight games to win the World Series... Hey, even Vin Scully was first a Giants fan when he was growing up in New York.

In her obituary, it said she was nominated for both the television Emmy Award and a Golden Globe Award for this role on TV. I wish she had done more TV shows in which she was the star. Too bad ABC didn't keep this classy show on the air!

Charlie was also a radio and TV newscaster. He was with American Bandstand from 1957-1967. He worked with both Dick Clark and Ed McMahon in Philly, and moved to Hollywood in 1963 when Bandstand moved to Hollywood, changing from a 5 day a week show, to a once-a-week show on Saturdays. Charlie ...

Is this from the musical play "Fiorello", which starred Bosley as Mayor LaGuardia, and he won the Tony Award for that role in 1960.

Bob Crane had a drum set in his radio studio at station KNX in Los Angeles from the '50s to 1965, and played the drums on his radio show quite often.

Great, the songwriter and the singer, Buck wrote it and had a country hit version and Ray won a Grammy Award for his version of the song in 1966.

My radio DJ friend Marie played this record Thursday night on her "Platter Party Show" on KKUP in San Jose, 91.5 FM...She played a long set of songs about letters or letters in the title or song, etc., and she played this Bobby Bare song. I love it and it was the first time I had ever heard it. ...

I see that young Beau Bridges was in the cast of this soap.

Nice record. My friend Radio Re played this song/record on her "Platter Party" oldies show last night on public FM KKUP-91.5 in thew San Jose area. Great oldeis show if you're ever in that area or live there, it's on Thursday nights from 10 pm to midnight.

She plays a lot of rare oldies like th...

As I recall, this song was a hit on the Country music charts by Freddy Weller, who was earlier the bass player for Paul Revere and the Raiders.

Yes, I cans till recall when channel 52 Corona-Los Angeles used this music in the afternoon at station ID time every half hour, and a lot was kids' cartoon shows, and they also aired a show in the early-'70s called "Headshop" with Elliot Mintz. But, channel 52 played this music at station ID tim...

Nice to see the color shot. I think The Match Game was the very first TV show I saw in color at a friend's house in '63 or '64, since we didn't have a color TV until around 1972.

Nice to see this radio-related trailer, with the great Art Gilmore who died this past September 25th, who was a CBS radio staff announcer.

Hey, can you re-post this??? You only have one channel of the stereo recording playing!!! We can't hear Sammy's voice at all! Only the orchestra and the bavking vocals!

Hope you can re-do this and get the entire recording on there. thank you.

The show aired on ABC in 1960 on Friday nights from 8:30 to 9 pm, and at the time, it was aimed at an adult audience, not children!

and he wrote a lot of books, too.

It's interesting that Mr. John Daly was the anchor for ABC-TV news from 1953 to 1960, while at the same time, he was allowed to host an entertainment show, "What's My Line" on CBS-TV during those same years!! That would never happen today.

Interesting. Didn't know ABC televised that parade in '67...Maybe in response to the NBC Rose Parade telecast with Betty White and Lorne Green? Living in L.A., I never watched network coverage of the Rose Parade, but watched it on either KTLA-5 or KTTV-11.

He was not known as a singer. The records he made, he usually 'talked' or spoke the words, but he did not sing. He and Menjou went back to the silent movie days. Brennan was the first person to win 3 Oscars, still the only person to have won 3 Oscars as Best Supporting Actor, and tied with Jac...

Hard to believe Sharon Sheeley's been gone since 2002, passing at age 62. Besides Poor Little Fool, she and De Shannon wrote The Great Imposter for The Fleetwoods and Dum Dum for Brenda Lee. She was also married for 5 years to the TV emcee of ABC's Shindig, Jimmy O'Neill. Poor Little Fool was...

As Yogi Berra said after the Yankees were swept in four straight games, "I can understand how he (Koufax) won 25 games. What I can't understand, is how did he lose the other 5?!!" Just think what Koufax could have done as a pitcher if his arm was healthy and he didn't have to retire after the 1...

I think the 3 guys were a folk singing group called The Wellingtons

yeah, Jackie was the first to record the song, but she did not write it. It was written by Jack Nitzche and Sonny Bono.

Yes, on one episode of Shindig, Jackie sang What the World Need Now, which was one of her own records/songs. She does a fantastic job on this song, a little more jazzy than the original.
