THE NEW EYES OF A GENERATION WEB SITE IS UP & RUNNING!
THE NEW EYES OF A GENERATION WEB SITE IS UP & RUNNING!
Just in time for Thanksgiving browsing, the all new site ready!
Please share this news with your friends, and let your non Facebook friends know with an email. Now everyone can comment on the new site, and it is very easy. You can sign in with your FB account, or do a simple one time registration…or just visit the site and look around with no sign ins. There is a LOT to see!
My thanks to all of you for your years of interest and support…it is greatly appreciated! This is for you, and all that come after us.
Building the new site would not have been possible without the long hours of effort from our great webmaster, Dave Donaldson who directs the morning news at WTOL in Toledo, and Dr. Jodie Peeler, Professor of Communications at Newberry College. When I was too afraid of the daunting task, she pulled me through. Dave’s ingenuity allowed us to do something no other site has ever done…we are the first to capture all of our Facebook post archives, complete with comments, and import them into our own server. Other sites display FB posts, but the posts are still physically in FB…ours are not.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YOU! -Bobby Ellerbee, Dave Donaldson, Jodie Peeler
New site is looking good and will read more, but just sneaked a look at the piece on Carol Burnett. Anyone in the US remember seeing the one-off show she and her cast made in June 1970 in London with the BBC? It was to ‘introduce’ her to the UK audience before her US series aired here. It was called The Carol Burnett Show in London and the credits read: starring Carol Burnett with Harvey Korman

Nice job Bobby. Your efforts on your FB page and your old and new web site show a remarkable dedication to documenting the history of the television industry. If only a resource such as this had been available to those of us who started way back in the days of steam powered cameras 😉
Congratulations and Happy Thanksgiving, Bobby.
Looks good to me. Congrats to all involved.
This is truly worthy of a Peabody!
Great effort by all those involved. Congrats!
