Just watching an early episode of “The Fugitive”. What’s notable is that one of the guest stars is Kurt Russell! Except he’s about 8 years old! Early television is so interesting. It’s a treat seeing him in what was probably one of his first roles!

we are literally heading back to the early television mentality of "why bother preserving these doctor who episodes? just tape over 'em, i'm sure no one will want to watch them 50 years from now"

Agreed, early television is Amazing. When we revisit the shows that we enjoyed as young children, we can see all the wonderful mechanics that made these shows so exciting and enthralling. We are revisiting our childhood homes and existing momentarily in both the present and past.

From a book about early television history, ca. 1948. Not often that secretary and boss move 1,750 mi. together! But much respect over that last sentence; good advice.

We lost a bunch of early film history because folks in charge didn't care enough to preserve it... We lost a bunch of early television history because folks in charge didn't care enough to preserve it... You see where I'm going with this, Streaming Services?

YouTube just happened to play this song next, one of my all-time favorites. So if you're walking down the street sometime And spot some hollow ancient eyes Please don't just pass 'em by and stare As if you didn't care, say, "Hello in there, hello"
