	Golden Age of Television - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Golden Age of Television is a reference to the period from approximately 1949 to 1960 when American prime time television drama was predominated by original and classic productions from such writers as Paddy Chayefsky, Reginald Rose and Rod Serling.
		The age really defines the time in which television and radio were both in their golden ages.
		Still, the golden age of British TV enjoyed its peak around the same time as in the states ranging from approximately 1949 to 1955.

	Golden Age of Television
		As the nation's economy grew and the population expanded, television and advertising executives turned to dramatic shows as a programming strategy to elevate the status of television and to attract the growing and increasingly important suburban family audience.
		Ironically, however, it was live teledramas that helped television to displace radio, the stage and film as the favorite leisure-time activities for the nation's burgeoning suburban families in the late forties to the mid-fifties.
		In 1951 network television was linked coast to coast and in 1950 Hollywood Theater Time (ABC) became one of the first dramatic anthology shows to originate from the West coast (although transmitted to the East via kinescopes--inferior copies of shows filmed directly from the television screen).

	Mindjack - Redefining Television
		Television is the capture, encoding, transmission, reception, decoding and display of moving images.
		Analog television of either variety is like the vinyl album - something which you've no doubt heard of - and perhaps even seen a DJ use in a set - but many of you won't have handled them, at least not often.
		If you go to an electronics retailer and buy an HD television set you're paying for two things - one of them is the oversized high-resolution display, and the other is a sophisticated computer, inside the set, which decodes the received digital television data stream and puts it onto the display.

	Amazon.ca: Television's Second Golden Age: Books: Robert J. Thompson (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Ultimately he is not defining a particular time period (especially since the "golden age" in question is clearly not over), but explaining why in the "vast wasteland" that Newton Minnow bemoaned so many years ago "quality" television is flourishing in terms of hour-long dramatic programming.
		Consequently, the fact that the title of this book is not a fair representation of its most significant claim, is not to be held against the author, because he has made in public an argument I have been making in private (okay, in class as well), for several years.
		Working from the hypothesis that the quirky dramas that dominated television from the '70s to the '90s (Hill Street Blues, St. Elsewhere, thirtysomething, ect.) actually made up television's second golden age, author Robert J. Thompson actually makes a pretty good argument for taking TV seriously.

	Philco Television Playhouse
		The Philco Television Playhouse was one of the most distinguished of the many "live" anthology dramas which aired during the so-called "golden age" of television.
		It became the most renowned production from the "golden age" of television anthologies and marked a turning point for television drama because of the considerable amount of critical attention paid by the press.
		According to Delbert Mann, "Marty" was inspired by the ballroom of the Abbey Hotel on the corner of 53rd Street and 7th Avenue in New York.

	Mark My Words!: The Golden Age of Television is Now
		Most critics agree that a random sampling of an average night's programming is evidence enough of how the medium is soaring head-and-shoulders above the television of previous eras, particularly coming off of the dreadful 1990's, far and away the worst era of television in the medium's history.
		With as much quality television that is being produced today, it amazes me how many snobby or ignorant people I still hear say that they don't watch TV, only to sing the praises of a recent feature film that pales in comparison to the average hour of modern primetime television.
		Mark - the advent of TV shows to DVD and TiVo has greatly added to this "golden age." Shows that are often not viewable you can now rent at a later date and watch an entire season in a couple weeks (or days if you are aggressive enough).

	The Golden Age of Television Variety
		Variety television was the pillar of every major network's programming structure as they fought tooth and nail on a weekly basis to grab their share of an audience that numbered in the millions.
		Basically televised burlesque, the early variety shows capitalized on the existing notoriety of many chosen to host, while the position of M.C. (Master of Ceremonies) proved to create fame for others.
		Those who lived during the golden age of television variety probably miss it and should be encouraged to explain its magic to younger viewers in hopes of inspiring better television today.

	Kraft Television Theatre
		Kraft Television Theatre proved to be one of the most durable and honored programs of the Golden Age, airing on NBC from 1947 to 1958.
		Although Kraft Television Theatre quickly established itself as a critical favorite after its premiere in May 1947, in Kraft's estimation the show was only as useful as its ability to move product.
		The original Kraft Television Theatre was never a ratings success, but Kraft apparently never expected it to be, consistently claiming that they measured the show's popularity by the number of recipe requests, not by its Nielsens.

		Television became what radio had been in its golden age — the central medium of entertainment and diversion for almost every home.
		The pressure of doing live television — if you made a mistake it just went out over the air for "the whole world to see" — was such good discipline that many famous TV and film stars received excellent training doing live television.
		Their careers were undoubtedly helped by the fact that some truly substantive teleplays (TV dramas) were produced during this decade, productions that appealed to wealthier and better educated — the viewers that could afford the high price of TV receivers.

	IS THIS TV'S GOLDEN AGE?
		The Golden Age of Television is what it has always been: the mid-1950s, with its unique excitement over a developing medium and its eclectic mix of live drama, comedy, variety and even panel shows.
		Live dramas were at the heart of the Golden Age of Television.
		As now, the quality of prime-time television was trending upward, but that surge sputtered in the early 1990s; writers seemed to spread themselves too thin, tire and begin to repeat themselves.

		Not that there wasn't a great deal of writing about television before then; it is merely that most writing was about the medium of television in a somewhat sociological/anthropological mode rather than in a textual analysis mode.
		Many earlier television scholars were as or more apt to write about the interaction of shows and commercials embedded within them as the shows themselves.
		The book's greatest strength is in its identification of the qualities that make up quality television shows and the discussion of the development of a series of shows in the eighties and early nineties that encapsulated those qualities.

		For the past 30 years, presidents have enlisted prime-time television to promote their policies to the American people.
		We investigate both by developing and testing a model of the individual’s viewing decision using both cross-sectional (1996 NES survey) and time-series (128 Nielsen audience ratings for presidential appearances between 1969 and 1998) data.
		We find that cable television but not political disaffection has ended the golden age of presidential television.
