Classic Television
The Archive’s patrons, along with our excellent volunteer curator, twainbough, have been helping us build up a nifty collection of Classic Television episodes, and we think it’s time to unveil it!
Here are a few choice morsels for you to peruse:
- Jackie Gleason on Cavalcade of Stars doing a sketch of the Honeymooners (before it became a show)
- A 1965 episode of The Jack Benny Hour with Bob Hope, the Beach Boys, Elke Summer and Walt Disney
- Rosemary Clooney singing “I Dont Know Why I Just Do” on The Edsel Hour
- 6 episodes of Sherlock Holmes
- 39 episodes of Diver Dan
- The Night America Trembled (1957) with Ed Asner, James Coburn, and a very young Warren Beatty
- A 1956 episode of the Dinah Shore Show - she opens with an excellent rendition of “Honeysuckle Rose”

Hey, Thanks for mentioning 3 of the videos I uploaded! The Classic TV section is really growing fast, Hopefully the section will continue to grow and more stuff will be uploaded. I estimate that over 90% of 50’s TV is Public Domain, so there is plenty of stuff to add!
