These last four hours have been a ton of fun...truly. Learning about the Pioneers of Television has illuminated so much. I had very broad ideas of the impactful individuals behind television but now I have new names, faces and personalities to idolize and appreciate as I begin a career in entertainment.

Phyllis Diller made an interesting point, "Game shows give the public a chance to get to know you as a person because you're not playing a role. You're speaking for yourself in your own voice so they, they feel that they can know you a lot better..."

This is completely true. We tend to look at actors/actresses as these other worldly individuals but they are not so different from the common man. They laugh, cry and get emotional about games just the same.

It is interesting that those interviewed think that gone are the days of Variety television when you have shows like Saturday Night Live still breaking boundaries.

It is interesting that the Smothers Brothers' show was canceled for poking fun and ridiculing those in power. Would their show have been popular today, they would have made a killing. Though, arguably you could say the same about most shows that came out in the early years of television.

After watching The PBS "Pioneers of Television" specials for Late Night and Sitcoms, it is heartwarming how every one of the individuals interviewed loves what they do. They absolutely loved the people and the work that was being created.
