Broadcast Radio before 1HHytgbZF Television.By F.HoffmanI have been watching reruns of the TV show "Whats My RwP7RI7hU Line", in which Fred Allen was a panelist for a number of years. I had mixed 6rOHnY0Oi feelings about how he acted during the show and found myself wondering who Wt2GcZKQG this man was. This book was inexpensive, so I bought it. He writes about the m0WySWPmi medium of broadcast radio before the advent of television. I not only gained a mioYZBG5z better understanding of why Fred Allen was highly thought of in the entertainment Vv3MCKJ0p world, but how TV changed Radio, just as the Internet is changing TV. Much of it wypBwOmAm is quite humorous, and it is very much worth a read.7 of 7 people found the 24cwU3SRB following review helpful. Great First-Hand Account of the Golden Days of 53mCKriIh RadioBy Pen NameFred Allen was a great wit during the Golden Days of Radio. His program, along with The Jack Benny Show and The Phil Harris and Alice Faye Show are just a few of the old programs that have aged well. Most if the other comedy shows if this era seem quaint, naive and even tedious.Fred Allen's influence was evident in the 1970s with the advent of Johnny Carson's "Mighty Carson Art Players" and Garrison Keillor's "News from Lake Wobegon." Both Carson and Keillor creations were direct ancestors of Allen's Alley, a weekly feature of Allen's show.

  • Lambchops by Ron Hutchinson
    Lambchops By Ron Hutchinson “Who the hell wants to hear actors talk?” --- Harry Warner, 1927 In 1925, when the brothers Warner decided to part- ner with Bell Laboratories to use the Vitaphone disk system to present movies with synchronized sound, talking wasn’t part of the plan. The brothers envi- sioned marketing their features with full orchestral scores and limited sound effects. Actors that talked from the screen were an afterthought. But a quick one. When they premiered “Don Juan” in 1926, it boasted a synchronized symphonic score with sound effects that enhanced the John Barrymore swashbuckler. There was no dialog in this otherwise silent film. The sound was on 16-inch shellac disks, turning at 33 1/3 rpm and synched to the picture. As long as the film didn’t break or the needle didn’t skip, everything matched. Audiences applauded, but were more impressed with the short subjects which preceded the feature. These WERE talking pictures, with opera stars, a ukulele player and Will Hays of the Motion Picture Producers Association actually speaking and singing in perfect synchronicity. The audience’s reaction to the shorts was not lost on the Warner Brothers.

Murray: Mae West and the Limits of Radio Censorship in the 1930s Mae West and the Limits ofRadio Censorship in the 19305 by MATTHEW MURRAY N DECEMBER 12, 1937, Mae West appeared on network radio and the pat­ O terns of broadcast censorship were never the same again. In the space of thirty minutes, during what was West's only major radio performance, invio­ lable taboos concerning sacred texts were breached and heterosexual female desire was accorded unprecedented license over the airwaves. The program produced a vitriolic reaction from religious and reformist organizations, which criticized the National Broadcasting Company (NBC) for failing to apply appropriate editorial oversight. By orchestrating an organized campaign to rid radio of similar moral improprieties in the future, these groups managed to extend their social influence into the realm of broadcasting regulation. However, this campaign provoked a backlash in the popular press and from members of the general public, who advocated a more relaxed policy regarding the aural representation of sex, sexuality, and gendered display. The fierce discursive exchanges that took place in the aftermath of West's appearance attested to a wider divergence over what constituted normative gendered sexuality and the limits of acceptable female public deportment in the U.S.

Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts The University of Texas at Austin August 2010 Voices of Comedy: Conversations With Writers of Television’s Most Enduring Shows by Steven Vern Reddicliffe, MA The University of Texas at Austin, 2010 SUPERVISOR: Janet Staiger An oral history of television comedy from the early 1950s through the mid 1970s as told by the writers Sydney Zelinka, Larry Rhine, Milt Josefsberg, and the team of Seaman Jacobs and Fred S. Fox. The shows they wrote for included “The Honeymooners,” ‘The Phil Silvers Show,” “The Red Skelton Hour,” Bob Hope specials, “Here’s Lucy,” “All in the Family,” and “Maude.” These five writers were working in the earliest days of the medium and spent years writing for the personalities—from performers to producers—who pioneered and defined it. Most of them also wrote scripts during one of broadcast television’s greatest periods of transformation, when comedy took a decidedly topical turn that continued to have a significant impact on television comedy in the decades that followed. iii Table of Contents Introduction ……………………………..….……………….……..……1 Chapter One: Sydney Zelinka ……………………………....…..….…..15 Chapter Two: Larry Rhine ……………………………………......……32 Chapter Three: Milt Josefsberg ……………………...…….…...…....…58 Chapter Four: Seaman Jacobs and Fred S.
