  • John Pickard-Frank Provo Collection
    Thousand Oaks Library American Radio Archives John Pickard-Frank Provo Collection Introduction The John Pickard-Frank Provo Collection of the American Radio Archives documents Pickard's career in the early days of Australian radio, as well as the collaboration between Pickard and Provo that lasted nearly 40 years, and resulted in radio programs such as Wendy Warren and the News and Young Doctor Malone, as well as television programs such as Concerning Miss Marlowe and From these Roots. Biographies John Pickard was born on April 6, 1910 in Sydney, Australia. He entered the University of Sydney to study law in 1927, yet also acted in plays as a member of the Sydney University Drama Society. It was during this time that Pickard, intrigued by the new medium of radio, tried his hand at writing a radio play titled The Tomb of Osiris. This work was performed on various stations throughout Australia, and is considered by some to be the first original Australian radio play. By 1931, acting in radio productions had become Pickard's main occupation, and he was considered one of the brightest young actors on Australian radio during his tenure with the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Company) Players, whose performances were broadcast on station 2FC in Sydney. He continued writing and directing plays as well, being promoted to the Head of Drama Productions at the Australian Broadcasting Company in 1933. Pickard wrote series such as Crime Club, and also adapted American programs like One Man's Family, in which he substituted Australian settings, situations, and colloquialisms. By 1935, however, Pickard wanted to try something new and left for the United States in August of that year.

  • “TIME FLIES LIKE an EAGLE, FRUIT FLIES LIKE a BANANA: DOES YOUR SOUL EVER LAUGH?” Rev
    “TIME FLIES LIKE AN EAGLE, FRUIT FLIES LIKE A BANANA: DOES YOUR SOUL EVER LAUGH?” Rev. Don Rollins January 13, 2008 INVITE RESPONSES: “WHAT WAS/IS YOUR FAVORITE TV COMEDY?” Fatty Arbuckle; “Roseanne Barr; “Friends”; Lewis and Martin; “Animal House”; Robin Williams; “Car 54”; Margaret Cho; “30 Rock”; “My Girl Friday”; Eddie Murphy He smoked unfiltered Camels, my (adoptive) dad, thus it was through a blue haze that I watched with him his favorite TV shows. There were the westerns: “Big Valley”; “Gunsmoke”; and “Bonanza”. There were the cop shows: “Dragnet”; “Hawaii Five-Oh”; “Cannon”; and “Ironside”. There were the spy shows: “Mission Impossible”; “I Spy”; and “Man From U.N.C.L.E.” There were the science fiction shows: “The Outer Limits”; “The Twilight Zone”; “Alfred Hitchcock Presents”; and “Star Trek”. And there were a handful of variety shows that my father generally tolerated as a passing nod to my (adoptive) mother’s tastes: “The Dean Martin Show”; “The Red Skelton Show”; “The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour”; and “Hee Haw”. But the shows from the mid-sixties through the early-seventies that I remember best – the ones whose characters remain distinct and whose storylines I still recall – were the comedies: “McHale’s Navy”; “Hogan’s Heroes”; “Get Smart”; “Barney Miller”; and “F Troop”. My dad was generally loyal to these shows save for his weekly bowling night. But if down-home sitcoms had an attendance system, my old man would surely have gotten a gold star when the people who talked more like us came on our television screen: “The Beverly Hillbillies”; “The Andy Griffith Show”; “Petticoat Junction”; and “Green Acres”.

  • Barbara Lowdon
    Barbara Lowdon Barbara Romelfanger was born in 1926 in San Francisco, Ca. She is one of 8 children, 4 boys and 4 girls. Luckily they all got along as the 4 girls and 4 boys had to share double beds. All 10 in the household shared only one bathroom. As there were 10 people sharing a 20 gallon gas water heater, she said she never remembered having a hot bath! Dinner times were quite fun as Barbara had to peel potatoes every day for 10 people and the laundry, she said was a real chore! Before school Barbara's job was dusting and after school she was in charge of ironing, cleaning the bathroom and washing and drying the dishes. The family only had a car for a few years. With 10 people to cram into it, all the kids had to sit on stools on the floor in the back seat. Barbara's dad smoked cigars, so, the kids usually got car sick. During the Depression, the children were given a certificate for a free pair of shoes. The girls and boys always wore hand me down clothes. Barbara said she had a very happy childhood even though they weren't wealthy. She said there was always enough to eat. A family friend who owned a bakery used to call on them to come and get day old items. Barbara's school life was very structured as she attended Catholic schools all the way up to her graduation from St. Paul High School in 1944. Life was easy back then with no crime, no locked doors, no TV, phone or newspaper.

  • Music Highlights Golden Age of '50S
    Music highlights golden age of '50s Ranking the decades of the 20th century in order of importance is a task best left to future historians. But in terms of music, television and contributions to popular culture, the 1950s may well be the century's defining decade. Guest conductor Jack Everly offered impressive evidence of that notion with a recent Oklahoma City Philharmonic pops concert titled "The Fifties: The Golden Age of Black and White." Television was in its infancy when the 1950s began. And while many of the networks' early efforts proved unremarkable, shows such as "I Love Lucy," "The Red Skelton Show" and "Captain Kangaroo" were anything but. What's more, these programs gave us instantly recognizable theme music that will forever be etched in our memories. We didn't need any visuals to remind us of these shows; just a few measures of music triggered the expected response. Everly was the affable host for this nostalgic stroll, which featured a collection of musical medleys, vocal displays and humorous anecdotes. Chapter Six, an all-male vocal sextet, performed sterling renditions of "Constantinople" and "Mona Lisa," their close-harmony blend as captivating as the songs themselves. Along the way, they were joined by Sharon Wheatley and Sara Kramer, a pair of singers capable of delivering moments of poignance and brash humor with equal flair. The former displayed her considerable comic abilities in the recreation of a Swanson frozen TV dinner commercial and as a befuddled contestant on "Queen for a Day." Kramer, in turn, was spotlighted in Doris Day's "Que Sera, Sera" and, together with Chapter Six, offered a moving rendition of the Nat King Cole classic "Unforgettable." Whether a number called for a lush background accompaniment or driving rhythms for an instrumental feature, the Oklahoma City Philharmonic musicians handled their task with efficiency and finesse.

  • The History of NBC New York Television Studios, 1935-1956"
    `1 | P a g e "The History of NBC New York Television Studios, 1935-1956" Volume 1 of 2 (Revised) 5 Rare Interior Photos of The International Theater added on page 64 By Bobby Ellerbee And Eyes Of A Generation.com Preface and Acknowledgement This is the first known chronological listing that details the conversions of NBC’s Radio City studios at 30 Rockefeller Plaza in New York City. Also included in this exclusive presentation by and for Eyes Of A Generation, are the outside performance theaters and their conversion dates to NBC Television theaters. This compilation gives us the clearest and most concise guide yet to the production and technical operations of television’s early days and the network that pioneered so much of the new medium. As you will see, many shows were done as “remotes” in NBC radio studios with in-house mobile camera units, and predate the official conversion date which signifies the studio now has its own control room and stage lighting. Eyes Of A Generation would like to offer a huge thanks to the many past and present NBC people that helped, but most especially to Frank Merklein (NBC 1947-1961) Joel Spector (NBC 1965-2001), Dennis Degan (NBC 2003 to present), historian David Schwartz (GSN) and Gady Reinhold (CBS 1966 to present), for their first hand knowledge, photos and help. This presentation is presented as a public service by the world’s ultimate destination for television history…The Eyes Of A Generation. –Bobby Ellerbee http://www.eyesofageneration.com/ https://www.facebook.com/pages/Eyes-Of-A-Generationcom/189359747768249 `2 | P a g e "The History of NBC New York Television Studios, 1935-1956" Volume 1 of 2 Contents Please Note: Converted should be understood as the debut date of the facility as an exclusive TV studio, now equipped with its own control room.

  • Women's Leadership in Primetime Television an Introductory Study
    Women’s Leadership in Primetime Television An Introductory Study Natalie Greene Spring 2009 General University Honors Capstone Advisor: Karen O’Connor Greene 1 Women’s Leadership in Prime-time Television: An Introductory Study Introduction When television executives report their core audience, women always come out ahead. A 2007 Nielsen Media Research report showed that, with only two exceptions, every broadcast network channel had more female viewers than men. ABC’s female audience almost doubled its male audience during the 2007-08 season (Atkinson, 2008). 1 Women onscreen, however, seem to reflect a different reality, making up only 43% of characters in the prime-time 2007-08 season (Lauzen, 2008). 2 As studies going back as far as the 1970s show, women on screen not only fail to represent the proportional makeup of women in society, they also overwhelmingly show a stereotypically gendered version of women (McNeil, 1975; Signorielli and Bacue, 1999; United States Commission on Civil Rights, 1977). This paper aims to address the evolution of women’s leadership in prime-time network scripted television from 1950 to 2008. Because of the way that women have been traditionally marginalized in television, it is important to study the shows that have featured women as lead characters. Characters such as Lucy Ricardo ( I Love Lucy, 1951-1960) influenced later female leads such as Ann Marie ( That Girl, 1966-1971), Mary Richards ( The Mary Tyler Moore Show, 1970-1977) and Murphy Brown ( Murphy Brown, 1988-1998). Thus, along with an introduction to socialization theory and feminist television criticism, this paper covers a selection of some of the most influential female characters and women-centered shows of this period.
