I was searching my vast cassette tape library this morning and would
you believe I have a Kate Smith tape "An American Legend". I must
have bought it a garage sale or at a pig sale (aka flea market).
I'm playing it now on my vintage cassette deck. No "God Bless
America" song is on this album. Other classics are though.
You're right. Kate Smith lives on and on and on.

I'm glad to hear that Kate Smith still sings. I thought she was
dead.

These were not local Cleveland tv shows, but who remembers some
of
these legendary great innovative tv shows:
Pinky Lee show (starring, who else, Pinky Lee)
Mr Peepers (starring Wally Cox)
Mr Wizard (Don Herbert)--a great science show for kids
The Cisco Kid with his sidekick Pancho
The Lone Ranger with his sidekick Tonto (Clayton Moore and Jay
Silverheels)
Some kind of space show with phony rocketships. I can't
remember
the
name. Was it Captain Video?
Flash Gordon (a weekly series with short episodes of 15
minutes?)
I do remember the Howdy Doody Show with Buffalo Bob, Clabelle
the
deaf mute clown (all clowns are creepy), Princess
Summerfallwinterspring, Phineas T Bluster, and others.
Steve Allen show (The Tonight Show before Johnny Carson was on
it)
Amos and Andy (with the Kingfish--that show was really funny)
The Stu Erwin Show
Mama (an awful show); maybe it was I Remember Mama? Anyways, I
choose to forget it.
Bishop Fulton Sheen-a real entertaining show.
Ted Mack Amateur Hour ( a precurser of The Gong Show which
appeared
in the 70's or 80's)--now that's my kind of show.
Dragnet (starring Jack Webb who married Julie London--she was
really
a great singer with a sexy voice)
Kate Smith (God Bless America)
I don't remember the show, but maybe somebody does; all I
remember
are the dancing Old Gold cigarettes. There was also some show
that
this goofy bellboy calls for Philip Morris. What was that show?
Just trying to recall some of the great? shows of the 50's...
