Yet, for all that, there are so many familiar names, whether on their own shows or guesting on others. The two Andys, Williams and Griffith, Huntley and Brinkley, Captain Kangaroo, Jim Backus. Jack Paar hosts Tonight, as he will until 1962; his successor, Johnny Carson, hosts Who Do You Trust? with his sidekick, Ed McMahon. Similar, but different.
Well, let's get to it, anyway. No commentary this week, just shows.
