I've been watching the old Dean Martin roasts.... God, I miss Don Rickles. I always used to wonder how Dean Martin could drink so much scotch, sing perfectly(On his variety show) and tell all those jokes without messing up a lot. It made me seek out a documentary done about him and apparently it was almost always apple juice in his glass and he'd act a little drunk. Almost a Foster Brooks Lite act. A lot of his public persona seems to be more thought out and intentional than it comes off as. It was Sinatra and crew who were the real party animals. Dean Martin was off the stage and on his way home while those guys went out and partied. That surprised me. That guy was so cool in public at all times with the ladies man, hard drinking, image. But, he liked nothing more than to be home with the wife and kids or chasing little white balls on the course. Didn't think Dean Martin could get any cooler and then I watched that documentary. To me that stuff made him the coolest cat of all time.

I've also been watching a lot of the old Carol Burnett shows. Tim Conway and Harvey Korman.... I love watching Conway try to make everyone break character in those sketches. The blooper reels from that show are some of the funniest things I've ever seen from a TV show. Kids today have zero idea all these shows are out there and just how good they were!

One Step Beyond, I've never heard of. But, I'm going to look for it now.

Never watched The Phil Silvers Show but I've always been aware of it. Really interested to watch it now. So thanks for the heads up.

I also tried watching some ****** Cavett shows. I never watched them originally due to having only been born in 1970 but, I've always been aware of who he was and always had this impression that he was considered to be this really smart and funny interviewer aimed at the younger crowd. But, when I watched him interview Carol Burnett, Lucile Ball and Lucile Arnaz he came off as really awkward, uncoordinated,a bit condescending and even mentioned himself during the interviews that he seemed to really piss off a lot of the women he interviewed on his show. I've only watched maybe 3 of his shows so I don't have an informed opinion of him. I was wondering what you guys who were around when he was on TV think. Was his show really popular? Was there something he did that made him stand out? Was he a good interviewer and funny?

Watched a few old Bob Newhart shows too.I love everything he does.

Sweet! Thanks for the tip. I've never heard of him before but, a good interviewer is amazing to watch. I don't know who would be considered the top interviewers these days.

there may be better since him, but may have created the genre.

I recall enjoying Cavitt's dry style of humor, but he wasn't the type to weigh in with guns blazing.
Ivy League type of guy.

Liked the last two

anyone remember The Prisoner ?

A bit before my time, but I was watching a show on the making of the Iron Maiden album that put the band on the map in a YUGE way. Apparently they called the guy who owned the rights to the show, or the actor or whatever and asked to use a line from the show. They said the conversation was pretty short and IIRC, the dude pretty much just said "sure". The rest is rock history. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7LH__BPqSY

I am always reassessing how well shows do (with me) after passage of time.
After watching some Bullwinkle and Go Go Gophers in recent years, I'm blown away by how well they have aged.
Bullwinkle managed to write to both children and adults better than any other show I can think of. I didn't think much of Dudley Do Right, but the other 'associated' shorts with Bullwinkle, like Peabody and Fractured Fairy Tales were witty, comic genius. Go Go Gophers were just plain funny -- in a almost slap-stick, but smarter sort of way.

Google ruling: No exposure. One producer wanted to keep the navel exposed but execs had a conniption and fabric and makeup were added to hide the provocative belly button. Similar measures were taken to keep Mary Ann and Ginger decent while stuck on the island.

First navel flashing was Yvette Mimieux in a '64 episode of Dr. Kildare. Later there were a couple Star Trek episodes in '67 & '68 where Uhura and guest star Nancy Kovak slipped by censors. Eventually Cher blew the door wide open on the Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour to some scandal and an article in People
