The Golden Age of Television
July 27, 2021 @ 11:15 am - 12:15 pm
Virtual Class Instructor: Brian Rose, Professor at Fordham University / In collaboration with JCC Central NJ
American television was all set to launch in the late 1930s, but its progress was interrupted by the start of World War II. Finally, by the end of the 1940s, NBC and CBS began broadcasting to their east coast affiliates. But by the end of the 1950s, the era of live TV “theater” was over. So too was New York City as a center of TV production. This presentation will look at the forces that made this “golden age” such an intriguing chapter in TV history and why it was so short-lived (including brief examinations of blacklisting and the TV quiz show scandals).
