Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | In the United States, most television shows from the late 1940s and early 1950s were performed live, and in many cases they were never recorded, necessitating something to fill their time on the air whenever there was a significant break in the production schedule. Before the invention of kinescope recording made it possible for Groucho Marx to suggest rebroadcasting the best episodes of You Bet Your Life during the program's summer hiatus, networks would create entire an new series to run in the place of an established show. Most of these shows were intended as short-term placeholders, but some managed to gain enough popularity to become regular, full-fledged series in their own rights. Others returned in the summer year after year, essentially sharing their timeslot with their counterparts. |
