Lucy Show: The Lost Episodes Marathon, The (Special Edition)
In the late 1940s, when television as we know it was just beginning, the producers, directors and stars were all flying by the seat of their collective pants.
From day to day, they were all guessing, even the Network executives.
But soon, two performers began to stand our from all the rest.
They were Milton Berle and Lucille Ball.
Lucy went on to star in five TV sitcoms, one of which was "The Lucy Show".
In these hilarious episodes from that classic series, you'll see what made her TV's monarch of comedy as she romps with the likes of Vivian Vance, Mel Torme, Jim Nabors, John Bubbles, John Wayne, Carol Burnett, George Burns and Milton Berle. "The Lucy Show" was the third series with which Lucille Ball had dominated the Monday night line-up on CBS.
"The Lucy Show," like her earlier series, "I Love Lucy," ran six fun-filled seasons, and stayed in the Top 10 in the ratings for its entire run.

Candice Breitz: Multiple Exposure
Over the last decade, Candice Breitz has been remixing and editing the entertainment industry's visual language, making photographic montages and video installations that interrogate footage borrowed from mainstream cinema, television and music video. She isolates and aggressively redirects her raw material away from its characteristically narrative and anesthetic functions; by removing it from the grammar and syntax of the originals, she creates work at once puzzling and familiar. In one sense, these mediascapes expose the machinery of the mainstream media industry and tease out its values. In another, they reflect on the very real effects that pop culture is able to generate and sustain; projections and identifications more complex than they may seem at first. This broad selection, including the Soliloquy Trilogy, Becoming and Mother + Father demonstrates why Breitz has become a central figure in the artistic territory between culture and consumerism, experience and language.

Radio Network Prime Time Programming, 1926 -1967 by hapiro,Mitchell E. , ISBN 0786413352
Difficult as it is for some to imagine what people relied on for home entertainment in the evening before television--it was that equally big medium, radio. Its programs were the precursors to the popular television sitcoms and dramas of today. This work provides two main kinds of information: month-by-month prime time (7pm to 11pm) schedules from January 1929 through July 1961, for all national broadcasting networks, and a detailed listing of all network programming moves (from July 1926 until August 1967), including series premieres, cancellations, and time slot moves, plus a yearly recap of key programming moves. Only regularly scheduled series are included. Single event or special programming is not included. The book is divided into seven chapters, one for each night of the week; each chapter consists of individual month-by-month prime time schedules for each network followed by a detailed chronological listing of each of that networks series and programming moves.
