On this week's show, Inflation is up but Electronics have never been Cheaper! We also read your emails and the week's news. There is no show next week. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year from the HT Guys! News: Smart TV Shipments Have Fallen to a Decade Low in 2023 Say goodbye to the Netflix app on these old Sony TVs and Blu-ray players Genius Move? Amazon Reportedly in Talks to Bail Out Bankrupt Bally Sports RSNs YouTube TV adding a button shortcut to switch between last-viewed channels Other: The 100 Greatest Shows of all Time Inflation is up but Electronics have never been Cheaper! On last week's show I said that a $4600 TV would have cost $26000 in 1975. I even went to a calculator to get my result. But when I entered the amounts I had the years reversed. Instead of getting what $4600 today would be worth in 1975 I got what $4600 in 1975 would be worth today. For the record, $4600 in 1975 was worth $805. I got a couple of emails from listeners and a phone call from DJ of Brightside Home Theater telling me I was wrong. But in speaking with DJ I realized what I was trying to say and had a week to get it straight. The main point I was trying to make was that a TV of the caliber of the 77” Sony OLED ($4600) would cost more than the equivalent of $4600 in 2023. For this analysis we will consider the cost of electronics as a percentage of the median income vs today. Median income  1970 ~$8,500 1975 ~$11,500 1979 ~$16,000 2023 ~$99,000 Here are some TV of the day: Basic Bedroom TV 1970 Admiral Color TV - 12” Admiral Precision crafted K-10 Chassis  $249.95. In today's dollars $1978.03. As a percentage of income 2.3% in 1970 dollars Generic Family TV 1975 Montgomery Wards Brand TV - 25” Solid State Chassis, bright super vivid picture tube, twin 4” speakers etc $499.99. In today's dollars $2853.58. As a percentage of income 4.3% in 1975      dollars. Large format Screen 1979 General Electric Widescreen 1000 75” 4:3 TV with an option for a VCR sold for $2800. The VCR Option cost $1000. In today's dollars $11842.10 and $4229.35. As a percentage of income 17.5%  and 6.25% respectively in 1970 dollars. Now let's look at comparable setups today. Small Bedroom TV - I am going to say that a 43” Vizio V Series would be the equivalent of the 12” admiral. It goes for $250 or 2.5% of the median income. You can say that it's essentially the same percent of the median income. But what you get is 100 times better than the best TV of the day. You can even find something cheaper with minimal effort.  Generic Family TV - I am going to say that the Best Buy Insignia line fits that niche. For this one we will go with the 65" F30 Series LED 4K UHD Smart Fire TV at $330. Which is 3.3% of the median income. It's 1% cheaper in equivalent dollars but again, you get 100 times the performance. Large format Screen For this we will use the TV that started this whole conversation, the 77” Sony OLED for $4600. That is 4.6% of today's median income which is 13% less than the 75” GE. And throw in an AppleTV instead of the VCR for $200 or less than 1% and you have a system we could only dream about in 1979! So yes things cost way more today than a couple of years ago, but at least our electronics are cheaper than ever! And just for fun, here is an ad for a Sony front projection system from 1983.

James Cameron is about to launch one of the Greatest Shows on Earth - Avatar The Way of Water has just had its first sneak previews in the Northern Hemisphere. We have a vested interest in New Zealand of course - much of the film was shot and produced here. When director James Cameron and producer Jon Landau brought the sequel to Avatar here in 2018, they decided to train and mentor a group of would-be film-makers across all aspects of production. Over 36 interns and apprentices were selected for a wide range of disciplines - from lighting, costumes and cameras to set design and production accounts. So what was it like to be dropped into the biggest film in the world? Simon Morris talks to Dylan Patel, who joined the Camera Department, Shona Ward, a Costume intern and Robyn Bryant from the Music Department. Avatar The Way of Water opens around New Zealand on 15 December.

This year marks the 100th Anniversary of Shuffle Along!, the groundbreaking musical that kicked off an entire decade of vibrant black musical theatre on Broadway which included more than a dozen shows that were created by black songwriters, black bookwriters, black producers, black directors and choreographers -- and these shows brought hundreds of black actors, singers, dancers, and musicians to Broadway. This landmark is being celebrated with the release of two wonderful new books. Earlier this season in Episodes 37 & 38, I had the great pleasure of chatting with author Cassen Gains about his book: Footnotes: The Black Artists Who Rewrote the Rules of the Great White Way. Today my guests are the co-authors of the first full biography of Shuffle Along's composer: Eubie Blake: Rags, Rhythm and Race. Richard Carlin is the Grammy Award-winning author of numerous books on popular music, including Country Music, The Big Book of Country, and Worlds of Sound: The Story of Smithsonian Folkways. Ken Bloom is the Grammy Award-winning author of Show and Tell: The New Book of Broadway Anecdotes, Broadway Musicals: The 101 Greatest Shows of All Time, and Broadway: An Encyclopedia. He is the co-founder of Harbinger Records, has been a Broadway correspondent for NPR and the CBC, and has directed and produced shows at Town Hall, the Brooklyn Academy of Music, among other venues.

The Cosby Show is an American television sitcom co-created by and starring Bill Cosby, which aired for eight seasons on NBC from September 20, 1984, until April 30, 1992. The show focuses on an upper middle-class African-American family living in Brooklyn, New York. The Cosby Show spent five consecutive seasons as the number-one rated show on television. The Cosby Show and All in the Family are the only sitcoms in the history of the Nielsen ratings to be the number-one show for five seasons. It spent all eight of its seasons in the top 20.[1] According to TV Guide, the show "was TV's biggest hit in the 1980s, and almost single-handedly revived the sitcom genre and NBC's ratings fortunes."[2] TV Guide also ranked it 28th on their list of 50 Greatest Shows.[3] In addition, Cliff Huxtable was named as the "Greatest Television Dad".[4] In May 1992, Entertainment Weekly stated that The Cosby Show helped to make possible a larger variety of shows with a predominantly black cast, from In Living Color to The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.[5] The Cosby Show was based on comedy routines in Cosby's stand-up comedy act, which in turn were based on his family life. The show led to the spinoff A Different World, which ran for six seasons from 1987 to 1993.

MLT takes on MFL! We use the lack of ceremony for ‘57 as an excuse to go deep on My Fair Lady, with a healthy sprinkling of Candide and Long Day’s Journey Into Night. We get X-rated while discussing the S&M subtext of Henry and Eliza’s relationship (plus drop the c-bomb while quoting Rex Harrison), get to the bottom of Candide’s dozens of credited lyricists, and put a request out into the universe for a Fosse/Verdon for the Golden Age.

For most of us, we will never be directly involved with the production of a major television production. Sad but true. But that doesn’t mean we can’t hear the stories from someone who is and use our imagination to transport ourselves to those stages, right? While most every day people probably haven’t heard of CenterStaging, there’s a pretty good chance that the majority of people have seen their work and gear. The Greatest Support on Earth Based out of Los Angeles, with a more recently opened location in New York, CenterStaging is one of the industry’s premier rehearsal and backline facility. Known for their state-of-the-art studios and extensive collection of musical instruments, CenterStaging’s backline gear is practically famous on its own, having been used on just about every major television show, including the GRAMMY Awards, Academy Awards, MDA Telethon, Billboard Music Awards, American Music Awards, several Presidential Inaugurations, the Olympics, American Idol, Dancing With The Stars, The Voice, Jimmy Kimmel, and many, many more. Rooted in the Classics As you’ll learn during our discussion in this episode, CenterStaging got its start in the 1970’s, paving its way with early variety and music shows, including Solid Gold, Soul Train, Midnight Special and American Bandstand. East Coast Expansion In May of 2017, The LA-based company expanded its footprint by opening CenterStaging New York to provide stages and studios access at the highest levels of service and an extensive array of backline inventory to the east coast. About Our Guests Joe Muller, Business Manager for the New York location, and Jim Whitfield, who works as part of the show department in the New York location, join us in this episode to talk about the story of how CenterStaging came to be, what’s it’s like to work with their clientele, and what they are doing that makes their brand a staple in the production industry. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/behindthebackline/support
