This lecture will look at the work of 1950s comics like Milton Berle and Sid Caesar; the groundbreaking CBS series of the 1970s that included All in the Family, M*A*S*H and The Mary Tyler Moore Show, and the blockbuster 1990s shows The Simpsons and Seinfeld.

This lecture traces the history of the late-night talk show through some of its most significant hosts, including Steve Allen, Jack Paar, Johnny Carson, David Letterman, and Bill Maher. June 26th: The TV News Magazine. The news magazine is another kind of program that grew up on television. This lecture looks at some of the most important TV news magazines, starting with Edward R.

Join us for a new look and a discussion about women and their struggle to make art in the 20th Century. May 8th: Mother & Child. The bond between parents and their children is very special, very personal, and yet universal. This relationship transcends language, cultures, long distances and time itself.

The conference was created through a unique collaboration between The Agnes Irwin School’s Center for the Advancement of Girls and The Franklin Institute intended to curate and engage thoughtful and transformative discussion around STEM education for all girls. The outcome of this partnership was a national discussion with key stakeholders, and, in April 2016, the Sharing Solutions conference held in Philadelphia to capture this discussion and plan for a direction forward. This white paper summarizes the proceedings of the conference, reviews and contextualizes the relevant academic research, and uses conference evaluation data to outline the “next steps” that we will take.

  • The History of CBS New York Television Studios: 1937-1965
    1 The History of CBS New York Television Studios: 1937-1965 By Bobby Ellerbee and Eyes of a Generation.com Preface and Acknowledgements This is the first known chronological listing that details the CBS television studios in New York City. Included in this exclusive presentation by and for Eyes of a Generation, are the outside performance theaters and their conversion dates to CBS 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 efforts at CBS to pioneer the new medium. This story is told to the best of our abilities, as a great deal of the information on these facilities is now gone…like so many of the men and women who worked there. I’ve told this as concisely as possible, but some elements are dependent on the memories of those who were there many years ago, and from conclusions drawn from research. If you can add to this with facts or photos, please contact me, as this is an ongoing project. (First Revision: August 6, 2018). Eyes of a Generation would like to offer a huge thanks to the many past and present CBS people that helped, but most especially to television historian and author David Schwartz (GSN), and Gady Reinhold (CBS 1966 to present), for their first-hand knowledge, photos and help. Among the distinguished CBS veterans providing background information are Dr. Joe Flaherty, George Sunga, Dave Dorsett, Allan Brown, Locke Wallace, Rick Scheckman, Jim Hergenrather, Craig Wilson and Bruce Martin.
