| Failed TV Pilot: "Let's Join Joanie" (1950)
Failed TV pilot from 1950 called "Let's Join Joanie". Two years before she starred in the semi-popular 50's sitcom "I Married Joan", Joan Davis did this unsuccessful pilot. I don't know much about this pilot, Which curiously runs 33 minutes long despite the fact that it features no commercials. Don't watch it expecting comedy gold, But it does have historic value, and is kinda amusing.

| "Cavalcade of Stars": The Schaller Brothers (Trampolining act)
Clip from "Cavalcade of Stars" featuring the trampolining act The Schaller Brothers. Pretty typical of low-budget DuMont Television Network, famous for airing anything which moved. But like much DuMont progamming, this clip is surprisingly entertaining and shows that TV doesn't need a big budget. This also shows The DuMont Network's love of vaudeville-type programming.

| 44 Minutes of Footage from ''The Frank Sinatra Show'' (Circa 1951)
I had previously uploaded about 24 minutes of this, but finally, I can upload all 44 minutes of footage I have of "The Frank Sinatra Show". This includes one complete episode, and a partial episode. As You'd assume, it's a musical-variety series. In some ways, despite Frank's many talents, this show is a bit of a mess when compared with some other high-profile star series of the time. Aired without copyright notice, re-transmitted at a later date, not submitted for copyright.

A wonderful episode of "Super Circus", a 1950's family show aired on ABC-TV. Delightfully politically incorrect and with a general "Nobody's watching anyway!" atmosphere. A refreshing antidote to the ultra-censored "family" shows of today, this episode features a smoking chimpanzee, a sexy hostess named Mary Hartline, a clown who happens to be a loser, jokes about the clown nearly being killed (off-camera of course), addictive commercials for candy, and yes, it also features the phrase "Shut up!...
