Everything you ever wanted to know about classic television. I cover actors, actresses, and shows but a lot more. We'll learn about directors, writers, set and costume designers, talk show hosts and game shows, the history of things like the TV guide and TV dinners; there are even themes including the best shows about bowling, resorts, and famous cars.
