The TVS Television Network executives thought long and hard before they decided on the programming parameters of their 'Arts Channel'.
One important segment that we're painstakingly building is the Golden Age of Television shows that became such an important part of the country's entertainment fabric in the 1950's. It was through these experiments in the new medium of television that stars such as Paul Newman, James Dean, William Holden, Ernest Bornine, Rod Steiger, Charlton Heston, and Jack Lemmon learned their craft.
John Frankenhammer, Sidney Lumet, Paddy Cheyefsky, and many more made equally impressive starts on the other side of the camera.
Two offerings of special interest are in the present collection. Jerry Lewis sheds his comedic personna to reprise Al Jolson's role in The Jazz Singer, a TV special in the late 50's. Then, the great Paul Newman brings life to 'Bang The Drum Slowly', an episode of the U S Steel Hour.
Drop us a line with the shows that you'd like to see. We'll regularly be putting up these classics and will be happy to move your favorite to the 'front of the line'.
