Why do these things always look like they've been photographed through mud? (Is this a kinescope?)

[mytvmemories]

@ferociousgumby most likely. The quality on these old recordings are pretty horrible. If you think about it, I doubt it looked much better on a 19 inch Dumont back when it was first broadcast.

I really enjoyed Topper on tv each week when I was a child. Thanks for posting it and would love to see more of Topper shows of yesterday on YouTube if you can post them.

This was one of the favorite series of my childhood, in the days when TV was rich with invention. I'll be watching for more. Thank you.

Thanks for posting this video, mytvmemories. I recall this series when it was on originally, in the early '50's. You have to love Topper's one-liners to cover up for the Kirbys' shenanigans. There was something delightfully understated, but droll about this program. I suppose that's mostly attributable to the contrast between Cosmo's stodginess and the Kirbys' madcap, devil-may-care antics.
