Xena: Warrior Princess





 Xena: Warrior Princess is an American fantasy television series filmed on location in New Zealand. The series aired in syndication from September 4, 1995, until June 18, 2001.
 It has been praised by critics for its strong female protagonist and has since acquired a strong cult following, attention in fandom, parody, and academia, and has influenced the direction of other television series

The series was created in 1995 by writer-director-producer Robert Tapert under his production tag, Renaissance Pictures with later executive producers being R. J. Stewart (who developed the series along with Tapert) and Sam Raimi.

The series narrative follows Xena (played by Lucy Lawless), an infamous warrior on a quest to seek redemption for her past sins against the innocent by using her formidable fighting skills to now help those who are unable to defend themselves. Xena is accompanied by  Gabrielle with formidable fighting skills (played by Renee O'Connor), who during the series changes from a simple farm girl into an Amazon warrior and Xena's comrade-in-arms.

The show is a spin-off of the television series Hercules.......  where Xena was a recurring character originally scheduled to die in her third appearance. Aware that the character of Xena had been very successful among the public, the producers of the series decided to create a spin-off series based on her adventures. Xena was a successful show which has aired in more than 108 countries around the world since 1998.

The Beverly Hillbillies

 The Beverly Hillbillies was originally broadcast on CBS for nine seasons..... from September 26, 1962, to March 23, 1971. It was a well loved program and always placed high in the Neilsen Ratings with in the top 20 for 8 of its 9 year 274 episode run.
 Buddy Ebsen, Irene Ryan, Donna Douglas, Max Baer Jr, Raymond Bailey, Nancy Kulp, Bea Benaderet, Harriet E. MacGibbon and a host of others brought the show to life.
I among many others..... love it to this day.
 It is still in syndication and seen on a daily basis around the world.
I grew up watching the reruns, as many of you did also.

 The episode below has a copy right dispute with the opening song "The Ballad of Jed Clampett and it has been changed so it could be included in The Public Domain.

 There is a very funny song after the opening, about those feuding and fighting Clampett and Drysdale kin folks, that is not in dispute.
It is very-very funny and makes one smile. I
 hope you enjoy it.... as much as we do.
 To me..... it brings back the simpler times of our lives.

                                Thanks for "LIKING" Yesterday Television!

Dinah Shore Was An Early Television Queen

As Quoted: From Wikipedia {The Free Encyclopedia}

  The Dinah Shore Show is an American variety show which was broadcast by NBC from November 1951 to July 1957, sponsored by General Motors' Chevrolet division.
For most of the program's run, it aired from 7:30 to 7:45 Eastern Time on Tuesday and Thursday nights, rounding out the time slot which featured the network's regular evening newscast (John Cameron Swayze's Camel News Caravan), which, like all such programs of the era, was then only 15 minutes in length.

The Dinah Shore Chevy Show was broadcast on NBC from October 1956 to May 1963. The series was also sponsored by the Chevrolet Motor Division of General Motors and its theme song, sung by Shore, was "See the U.S.A. in Your Chevrolet", which continued to be used in Chevrolet advertising for several more years after the cancellation of the show.

Make Mine Freedom

This Cold War-era cartoon from 1948 uses humor to tout the dangers of Communism and the benefits of capitalism.
 I am not old enough to have seen this film in a public school as part of.... "Social Studies."
But, I'm sure back in school the 1950s, this seemed a little bit.... out there.
 What do you think?

This One Is Out Of This World

Anyone who is nostalgic for 1964 needs to sit down and watch this.
To download your very own free copy just click on the Internet Archive Icon and go to the site.
This presentation has good color photography. Please enjoy.
They just don't make commercials like this one...... anymore.
 The Frigidaire Corporation out done itself and I'm sure increased their profits enormously.

 Who was the target audience? You got it!
The adult children of parents who had lived through the Great Depression and WWII. With prosperity on their minds, or just, merely wanting to replace Mom's old wringer washer or washboard with something a we bit more modern.
 I don't know why.....but the appliance manufacturers seem to never disappoint us here at .....
