LizzieMaine on TV

[Maj.Nick Danger]

Is there a link to this so that we can also watch online?

 

[LocktownDog]

I missed it the first time around and I'm apparently as unlucky this time as well.

 

[LizzieMaine]

I don't believe the video of the show is online anyplace, but a transcript is available http://www.pbs.org/opb/historydetectives/pdf/501_amosandy.pdf

Last night PBS re-played the History Detectives segment on the Amos & Andy recording.
Did anyone see it?

 

[LizzieMaine]

If only I got residuals. Sigh.

For those who might be interested, I did another episode of HD earlier this year, which will get its first showing on August 23rd. Consult your local paper for time and channel.

Did they pronounce your name right this time?

 

[LizzieMaine]

I glared menacingly over the top of my glasses and told them they'd *better.*

 

[Babydoll]

What was the topic? I want to set the DVR to record it!

 

[hailey greenhat]

The first one is titled 3D Cuban Missile Crisis/Amos 'n Andy Record/Women's Suffrage Painting
It is the first episode in season 5 if anyone has any luck in finding it, i didn't, but would be interested in seeing it

 

[Babydoll]

The Amos and Andy episode is available on itunes for $1.99. I watched that one when it was on TV.

What is the topic of this new episode?

 

[LizzieMaine]

The new one's about a radio script from 1932 from a segment of the "Lucky Strike Hour" which turns out to be from the first radio series officially authorized by J. Edgar Hoover of the Bureau of Investigation. I explain the background of the program, describe how the critics received it, and play a recording of a typical episode.

(The house they show me at when the History Detective arrives is *not* my house. They didn't want to come to Maine to film -- no doubt they were afraid of being stampeded by a moose or eaten by a lobster or something -- so they shipped me down to Long Island for an afternoon.)

 

[Babydoll]

Excellent. I'll mark it on my calendar!

 

[Bill O'Rights]

I caught this on "reruns" the other day. I had no idea that it was 3 years old, but I sure as heck recognized our own dear Lizzie. They could not possibly have picked a better expert.

WOW? That can't possibly refer to the then NBC affiliate in Omaha, could it?

Yup, it does. Although now it's KQCH, WOW used to be broadcast from the top of the Woodmen of the World tower, in downtown Omaha. Hence the WOW. WOWT, the local NBC television affiliate, is the last vestige of the once very prominent WOW. I think that WOW radio "went away" sometime around 10 years ago, or so. I know that it was the late 90's.

I get History Detectives here in Shelbville but the show that was mentioned is not on in the next couple of weeks. I'll keep an eye out for the show. (That could be painful. lol )

Just a reminder to everyone to watch History Detectives tonight!

 

[Fletch]

:eusa_clap I'll be watching!

 

[LocktownDog]

Yes, ma'am. Thanks for the reminder.

Channel 13, 9 p.m. in the NYC area.

 

[Marla]

Is it the episode titled: "Jackie Robinson All-Stars, Modoc Basket, Special Agent Five"?

 

[LizzieMaine]

Yep, I'm in the "Special Agent Five" segment. (I could have told them something about the Jackie Robinson story too, but they didn't ask...)
