  Television Program Encyclopedia Article, Description, History and Biography @ OurLocalColor.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The content of television programs may be factual, as in documentaries, news, and reality television, or fictional as in comedy and drama.
Common TV program periods include regular broadcasts (like TV news), TV series (usually seasonal and ongoing with a duration of only a few episodes to many seasons), or TV miniseries which is an extended film, usually with a small pre-determined number of episodes and a set plot and timeline.
While television series appearing in TV networks are usually commissioned by the networks themselves, the real revenue for the producers is typically when the product is sold into syndication.

 Benny, Jack
He starred in a regular radio program from 1932 to 1955, establishing the format and personality he would transfer almost intact to television.
Like the other characters on the program, Rochester viewed Benny with slightly condescending affection--and frequently got the better of his employer in arguments that were obviously battles between peers.
He returned to television from time to time thereafter to star in additional specials but never dominated American ratings as he had in the 1950s, when he spent several years in the Neilsen top-20s and garnered Emmy awards year after year.

 Brandweek: Brand builders - Arts and Entertainment Television Network's Biography's television program
Execs at the network have applied the same criteria to each of Biography's now-numerous brand extensions: it must be compelling in its own medium in order to protect the flagship show's equity and enhance its life.
A Biography Web site was born in 1996 and has grown to include 22,000 personalities; its traffic now surpasses that of A&E's own site, with 2 million views a month.
Even in its original medium, Biography will eventually be extended into a series of made-for-TV movies for prime time, focusing on dramatic interpretations of people's lives, Johnson said.

 Burns, George
The television program he shared with his wife, comedienne Gracie Allen, for eight years (1950 to 1958 on CBS) was central to Burns' professional life, chronologically and symbolically.
Eventually the program's writers (of whom Burns himself served as the head) gave the character George-as-narrator additional omniscience by placing a magic television set in his den.
Television gave additional responsibilities to the offscreen George Burns as well as to his onscreen counterpart.

What we've found is an extraordinarily talented actor and director with at least 230 films and television appearances to his credit, decades of respected stage work, and a passion for his craft and his art, which continues to enchant and captivate first-time viewers, even today.
