People Are Funny

Jan 11, 1946
Une comédie basée sur le programme de radio (et plus tard de télévision) de NBC avec Art Linkletter avec une histoire fictive de la façon dont le programme est arrivé à être sur un réseau national depuis ses débuts modestes dans une station de radio du Nevada. Jack Haley est un producteur avec seulement la moitié des droits sur le programme tandis que Ozzie Nelson et Helen Walker sont les écrivains de la radio et fournissent la romance. Rudy Vallee, toujours capable de se burlesquer intentionnellement et, bien souvent, involontairement, est le propriétaire de la société de parrainage recherchée. Frances Langford, comme elle-même, chante "I'm in the Mood for Love" tandis que le quatuor Vagabonds (facturé 12e et dernier) intervient sur "Angeline" et "The Old Square Dance is Back Again".

The Haunted History of Halloween
6.9
The origins of Halloween are explored in this engrossing program on the subject. A ghoulish array of costumes, make up, and decoration descend on communities every year on October 31st, but few people are aware of how the celebration came to exist. Harry Smith attempts to get to the bottom of the mystery in THE HAUNTED HISTORY OF HALLOWEEN, which delves into the 3,000 years of hoopla that traditionally unfolds when October comes around. As the history is explained, so are various failed attempts to co-opt the festival by various religious groups; but the most compelling revelation is how little the festival has changed over the centuries. A marvelous way to gain a historical perspective on this entertaining holiday, Smith's program is almost as fun as carving a pumpkin, donning a spooky costume, and undertaking a little trick or treating!

The Lucy Show is an American sitcom that aired on CBS from 1962–68. It was Lucille Ball's follow-up to I Love Lucy.

For the first three seasons, Vivian Vance was the co-star. The earliest scripts were entitled The Lucille Ball Show, but when this title was declined, producers thought of calling the show This Is Lucy or The New Adventures of Lucy, before deciding on the title The Lucy Show. Ball won consecutive Emmy Awards as Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for the series' final two seasons, 1966–67 and 1967–68.
