Amazing collection. I'll be ordering soon.

For those old enough to remember "real/live" television, The Golden Age of Television is a must have. To think these shows were live is just amazing. Add to that the stars, many of whom were just starting out, and it's something anyone who cherishes television should have in their home. It's a real learning tool for the younger generation as well.

I used to belong to a "vintage" video store in NYC where you could rent the original Playhouse 90 and GE Theater tv presentations, so I've seen Marty, Days of Wine & Roses, etc. But they are so wonderful they can be watched over & over. And, is there anything better than black & white? In this day of DVD, HDTV, et al, just watch Jack Lemmon & Lee Remick in b&w and tell me the new technology adds to the drama.

Thanks for all the work that went into this compilation. It's great...

Wow. I've now had the chance to dive deeper into Golden Age of Television, and it's even better than I thought at first glance!

Not only is The Comedian astounding to see, for instance -- Mickey Rooney in a titanic performance as a nightmare live-TV comedy star -- but watching it again with director John Frankenheimer's revealing running commentary makes you feel like you're right there in the studio with them. (How did they do this live??)

And then there are the introductions from these kinescopes' 1980s TV run -- further evoking the era with insightful reflections from stars and crew who have mostly passed on since.

In other words, it's brain-pleasing, jaw-dropping viewing. Only problem is, you start to feel that TV has gone no place but backwards since . . .
