An Evening with Fred Astaire

Hi Thomprod, thanks for the info regarding AEWFA. (I was on a Wikibreak in a place where I had access only to a painfully slow dial-up, so no Wikipedia for me.) I'll definitely check that out when I'm in NYC next time -- do you know if they had any other ancient videotapes? How was the picture quality? Regards, ProhibitOnions ^(T) 22:54, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply, PO. The Museum has many old programs, including some kinescopes that have been copied to video. I was told their viewing copies are Hi-8mm video tape dubs and the originals are kept in a vault outside of New York City. The quality of the copies is quite good, although it's easy to see the limitations of the early cameras and recording equipment. I have viewed the musical productions of "Cinderella" (1957) and "Peter Pan" (1960) and lots of US programs from the 1950s and 60s. Regards.Thomprod 13:16, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Filmmaking list

Hey, it's no problem! But there's nothing particularly arcane either - just insert it into the right place in the text without deleting what's already there. Look forward to your edits! Girolamo Savonarola 02:13, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

West Side Story Parody

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I now remember hearing Forbidden Broadway at least once during that song, and a few other songs from that earlier on that station. Thanks again! :) -Bardiak 20:13, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Wizard of Oz

That was Hamilton on the broomstick flying outside the window. Dorothy's song indicates that was the witch she saw out her window, the witch of the east, upon whom the house fell. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 13:59, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

The article Wicked Witch of the East discusses this issue in more depth. There is an "original research" tag, but nearly everything in the article is verifiable from the film itself, which is its own source. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 14:45, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice...

...to visit the Paley Center in NY, which I did a couple of weeks ago. I had a look at The Edsel Show and An Evening with Fred Astaire and several other oldies. My only gripe was that these were all B/W kinescope copies, and most of the staff, with the possible exception of the head librarian, didn't seem to know what the difference was between a videotape and a kine, or why this was important. In other words, it's an excellent place if you're interested in programming, but the technical side of things seems to be a bit neglected. Even so, I had a great time.
