| ''I Married Joan'' - The Jailbird (1955, NBC-TV Comedy)
An episode of the 1952-1955 NBC-TV Comedy series "I Married Joan" called "The Jail Bird". This sitcom was a minor hit in the ratings, but never made the Top 20. In many ways, it was a "copycat" of "I Love Lucy", which itself featured the same premise as a previous show ("Mary Kay and Johnny"). Sadly this is an edited print.

| Artistic Masterpiece: ''Howdy Doody'' - 1 April 1952
An artistic masterpiece from the early 1950's, this episode of "Howdy Doody" comes from the 1st of April, 1952. As such, the episode starts with a practical joke which probably annoyed many people. This episode also contains lots of advertising for the sponsors, including Colgate Dental Cream and Kellogg's cereal. Like many TV broadcasts from this period, this episode features some talk about elections, though in a safe and light-hearted manner suited to the program's young audience.
