Often regarded as the first golden era of television, the 1950s was
a decade when many classic programs-from I Love Lucy and Gunsmoke
to The Honeymooners and Perry Mason, among others-made their
debuts. Even after these shows departed the airwaves, they lived on
in syndication, entertaining several generations of viewers.
Devoted and casual fans alike can probably remember basic facts
about these shows-like the names of Lucy and Ricky's neighbors or
the town where Marshall Matt Dillon kept the law. But more elusive
facts, like the location of the most successful defense attorney in
Los Angeles (Suite 904 of the Brent Building), might be harder to
recall. In Television Series of the 1950s: Essential Facts and
Quirky Details, Vincent Terrace presents readers with a cornucopia
of information about 100 programs from the decade. Did you know,
for example, that the middle initial of Dobie Gillis' friend
Maynard G. Krebs, stood for Walter? Or that Ralph Kramden's
electric bill came to only 39 cents a month? Or that on I Love
Lucy, Ricky originally performed at Manhattan's Tropicana Club?
These are but a few of the hundreds of fun and intriguing trivia
facts contained within this volume. Shows from all four networks
(ABC, CBS, NBC, and DuMont)-as well as select syndicated
programs-are represented here. This is not a book of opinions or
essays about specific television programs, but a treasure trove of
the facts associated with each of these programs. Readers will
discover a wealth of fascinating information that, for the most
part, cannot be found anywhere else. In some cases, the factual
data detailed herein is the only such documentation that exists
currently on bygone shows of the era. Television Series of the
1950s is the ideal reference for fans of this decade and anyone
looking to stump even the most knowledgeable trivia expert.
