More classic shows than you click a mouse at

[Maine-i-ac]

I have found this blog http://classicshowbiz.blogspot.com/ and I have been watching quite a few complete shows and clips. Maybe you'd be interested in a 1967 "Password" with Agnes Moorehead, an episode of "You Don't Say" with Tom Kennedy. A 1976 "Tonight" show with Johnny's guests Woody Allen and The Muppets. "Gunsmoke" with guest Carroll O'Connor. Boston's WHDH-5's version of "Bozo the Clown". If you can't find something to watch at this blog, then you aren't a classic TV fan.

Be careful, it's addicting.

I discovered this site a year or so back and have been hooked ever since. I've linked to certain shows I've discovered when the topic came up here, like the final episode of Howdy Doody. There's something new every day.

The guy behind this site also has the Saturday Morning Blog at http://saturdaymorn.blogspot.com/ with classic cartoons. This isn't updated daily and I don't go to it as often, but it's really good too.

I've known of that site for a long time, too. He really seems to go for the obscure sometimes. And it can be addicting..

The link being removed has happened occasionally with some shows that came from You Tube, but not very often on newer posts. It's happened more often on older ones.

Don't forget Ira Gallen who has collected kinescope and other film copies of vintage television programs all of the networks want to forget. He has YouTube clips of Howdy Doody,Ding Dong School,The Buick-Berle Show,The All Star Revue with Perry Como,The Dinah Shore Chevy Show among others...he has also fought a legal battle to stay in buisiness and preserve television history which the networks prefer to throw down the toilet. (perhaps Frank Zappa was right...his "I'm The Slime" is now a prophecy being fulfilled!)

Yes, if their was a Nobel or Pulitzer for TV preservation, he should get one. But you also have to remember that it is probably some desperate corporate lawyers behind all of this censorship too...I am sure that they are falsely claiming copyright on a lot of public domain things, just so they can send the bill to their clients.

That is obscene and absurd, but I guess now we know at least one You Tube police person (or you do!)

The idea that a third party who is not even employed within the business has the power to get a clip removed from You Tube or any other website and to expect getting paid for "reporting" in the first place is not only laughable but its also totally impossible. Actually for a clip to be removed, the copyright owner mustbe able to prove that they really do own the rights to the clip and the process usually involves faxes, affidavits, old fashoned snail mail and lawyers..a simple email or a quick phone call by the average Joe won't cut the cake.

Of course it wasn't always that way but about four years ago You Tube did changed the rules that made it next to impossible for that third person to have the power. Of course there are exceptions such as clips featuring violence, drug use or some other illegal act but using the copyright angle, well no.
