February 16: This Day in TV History

S

Stanislav

Just a few random TV related events that happened on February 16. Discuss or comment as you please……

1909: Actor Hugh Beaumont (Leave It to Beaver) is born (as Eugene Hugh Beaumont) in Lawrence, Kansas.

1935: Singer/actor/politician Sonny Bono (Sonny and Cher) is born in Detroit.

1951: Actor William Katt (The Greatest American Hero) is born in Los Angeles.

1954: NBC transmits the first newscast in color (Camel News Caravan), including the first integration of 16mm color film into a live program.

1954: WNEM-TV (channel 5) signs on in Bay City, Michigan.

1964: The Beatles make their second live appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show (a color episode, broadcast from Miami Beach).

2003: The Simpsons airs its 300th episode on Fox. Also on Fox this evening: a Married...with Children reunion show.

2007: The Bold and the Beautiful airs its 5000th episode.

(Just a little featurette I hope to do as time permits. It’s an entirely random selection based on a quick Net search, and is not meant to be comprehensive. So, don’t post nasty messages about “you forgot THIS” or “how could you not mention THAT?” Do so, and I’ll just take my keyboard and go home…..) ;)

I wondered about that, too...Didn't think Sullivan aired in color till the fall of '65.

That's what I get for not double-checking my memories: I could have sworn (having recently re-read it) that Mark Lewishon's massive day-by-day chronicle of The Beatles' career mentioned that the Miami show was broadcast in color. I see now that this is not the case, and I humbly beseech one and all for forgiveness... :(

...don't sweat it, Stan -- at least not as much as The Beatles themselves were sweating on that stage at the Deauville (Ringo Starr looks almost as if he'd just gotten out of the pool with his stage suit on) ;D ...

...BTW, in the opening title sequence to this broadcast on The Four Complete Historic Ed Sullivan Shows Featuring the Beatles, there's someone diving off the high diving board into the Deauville pool. In the same sequence excerpted in The Beatles Anthology set, they ran the clip backwards so that the guy appears to be leaping onto the diving board from the waters of the pool ;-) ...

It would be 13 years before any broadcast in Canada would be in color.
