Pittsburgh's original TV stars

M

mbayus

I just came across a very nice evening of tv viewing on Youtube for all of us who are interested in classic TV. Pittsburgh's Original TV Stars is a 5 part WQEX TV special from some time back, I don't have a date for it, but we see Josie Carey and Fred Rogers who are both gone now. It's divided in to 5 parts and each lasts about a half hour. Here's a link to the first part, you can find the other 4 parts on your own.

Enjoy!
 
Thanks for posting these! I have a funny feeling no one is going to pursue the lottery fix that Nick Perry pulled off. Hopefully I'll get a chance to hear about some "Chiller Theater" stories. Shows like those across the country had to be the idea for SCTV's "Monster Horror Chiller Theater" (I THINK that was what the recurring skit was called, anyway).
 
You know sometimes we forget about Pittsburgh, and how important Pittsburgh was to television history. I wish that they had talked about the Golden Spike Program that joined the east and west coast. That was WDTV in Pittsburgh. There is, somewhere a Station ID that says "WDTV channel 2 Pittsburgh. It was part of the KDKA retrospective that they did some time ago. I have been looking for it on Youtube, or Daily motion, or some such. If anyone has found it, or finds it in the future, Post on this board, and let me know.
Thanks
