CBS Television City…Circa 1988

Posted on March 9, 2013April 28, 2021


CBS Television City…Circa 1988

This clip takes a look back as CBS prepares for it’s 60th Anniversary. Since the company became CBS in 1928, I’m guessing this was shot in 87 or 88. Enjoy!

Clarabell #2, Robert ‘Nick’ Nicholson This is Buffalo Bob Smith with Nick Nicholson in the 1980s. Nick had been with the show since early on because he was the voice of Cornelius J. Cobb. When Keeshan left in 1952, Nick stepped in as Clarabell for two years. Interestingly, he and his successor were also jazz […]

Remembering Elaine Stritch… Did you know she was the original Trixie Norton on ‘The Honeymooners’? Below is the only photo of her in that roll on November 12, 1951. That episode was the fourth ever Honeymooners sketch and was done on ‘The Dumont Cavalcade Of Stars’, which was hosted by Jackie Gleason. This sketch with […]

Dale Walsh 2 Another great shot of Dale on location in Lincoln, Nebraska getting ready for some Corn Husker football in 1969! By the way, I’m almost positive that these two photos were taken by another ABC cameraman…why? Although it would have been nice to see the front of the TK41C camera in both, notice […]

The men and women who shaped American television —producers, directors, engineers, studio crews, and the families of industry legends shared their stories, photos, documents, and memories with me. Many told me the same thing, even the historians for the networks:

“You’re preserving the only institutional knowledge we have left.”

Eyes Of A Generation has always been a collection of history, but now — it has, by default, become a home for the institutional memory of ABC, NBC, and CBS.

In the same way networks kept the videotapes tapes but erased the talent, skill, craftsmanship and even revenue those recorded shows represented…they have lost their histories too!

This is television’s story — created by the people who shaped it and safeguarded here, for those who come after.
