We're taking a few days off for the holidays, but we'll be back with brand new editions of TV Confidential in the new year. In the meantime (and in light of Dick Van Dyke's 99th birthday last week), please enjoy this Blast from the Past featuring an excerpt from our September 2016 conversation with Vince Waldron, author of The Official Dick Van Dyke Show Book. In this segment Vince talks about why Reiner and Sheldon Leonard cast Dick Van Dyke because he embodied all three aspects of the Rob Petrie character: the introverted writer, the devoted husband and caring father, and the ability to break out and perform sketches when needed.

Big screen tough guy Sheldon Leonard went from cutting a menacing figure in To Have and Have Not and It's a Wonderful Life to producing classic TV sitcoms like The Andy Griffith Show and The Dick Van Dyke Show. In three old time radio thrillers, he'll show off his acting chops, first as a hired killer who's looking for a friend in "Feast of the Furies" (originally aired on CBS on July 11, 1946). We'll also hear him co-starring with Rosalind Russell in "When the Bough Breaks" (originally aired on CBS on May 3, 1951) and Jack Benny in "The Face is Familiar" (originally aired on CBS on January 18, 1954). Plus he shows off his lighter side as a proud papa of a safecracker in "Butch Minds the Baby" from The Damon Runyon Theatre.

Enjoy two free comedy episodes of The Adventures of Maisie w/ Ann Sothern A) 11/16/50 Maisie and the Wrestler B) 11/30/50 Census and Screen Test Racket In the mid 1930's, MGM purchased the rights to a popular novel by Wilson Collison titled Dark Dame which they had planned to film with their platinum blonde glamour gal, Jean Harlow. Due to Harlow's untimely death, MGM shelved the project until 1939 when it was retooled as a film called Maisie for another of their film stars, Ann Sothern. In total, MGM released 10 Maisie films from 1939 until 1947 and although the films were strictly B-movie fare, they proved quite popular. In 1945, CBS decided to bring the character to radio and cast Ann Sothern in the role she made famous on the big screen. On radio, as in the pictures, Maisie was a Brooklyn beauty and Jane-of-all-trades. Maisie was an underemployed burlesque dancer, who fell in love often, but always went her own way in the end. The radio casts included: Hy Averback, Arthur Q. Bryan, Hans Conried, Virginia Gregg, Peter Leeds, Johnny McGovern, Sheldon Leonard and Sidney Miller. During the height of the radio run, Sothern contracted infectious hepatitis after receiving an impure serum shot while she was in England for a stage performance. Confined to her bed, she continued to work on the Maisie radio series while she recuperated.

KITZEL: Duane Noch, NJ BING CROSBY / W.C.

Judy Canova Show is quite popular on this Podcast... and it was on radio for 10 yrs (1943-53). Judy Canova was a classically trained vocalist but as those of you who are familiar with her show know, she made herself to be a hillbilly, hog caller, and hayseed! Publicity photos showed her with a shotgun and wolf traps. She wore pigtails and calico dresses. She told stories about her pet Pig, Loverboy or her cousin Ureenus, whose favorite dessert was chopped liver ice cream. Supporting cast includes: Hans Conreid, Sheldon Leonard, Gerald Mohr, Gale Gordon, Sharon Douglas, Joe Kearns, Verna Felton, Ruby Dandridge, Mel Blanc, and Elvia Allman. The Sportsmen Quartet performs as does Judy. She sings a "silly" song and always does another song near the end of the show that demonstrates her true vocal talents. Episode: Trading In The Old Car - April 13, 1946. This track is in the "Comedy" Playlist

Welcome to OTTplay Now You Know, one podcast that keeps you updated on all the trivia, lesser-known facts and even anecdotes of popular films or shows. I'm your host Nikhil, stay with me.If you love nerd sitcoms like The IT Crowd and The Office, then The Big Bang Theory (also dubbed TBBT) has to be in your list of top ten shows of all time. The nerd attack inflicted by a group of four young scientists that made 'being a geek, kinda cool' has, over 12 seasons, become a cult classic. And if you consider yourself to be a hardcore fan of the show, you'll love these interesting facts about the series that you possibly didn't know1. Much like her on-screen character Amy Fowler, Mayim Bialik happens to have a doctorate in neuroscience. In fact, the actress who graduated from University of California has also written a parenting book that examines the role that hormones play in the parent-child bond. Now you know where she gets those insights into her character. 2. Did you know that TBBT is one of the few shows that showcase their actors eating actual food during shots. In fact, the show's prop manager once aspired to be a chef, and would always whip up a storm whenever a scene demanded consumption of edibles. As they say, the cast that eats together, stays together. 3. If you're fans of Sheldon and Leonard, you'll be surprised to know that these character names were actually derived from the late television producer Sheldon Leonard. But then again, what's in a name.4. Johnny Galecki had been originally asked to come on board to play Sheldon but felt he was better suited for Leonard's role. And given the chemistry they share on screen, we know that this decision actually paid off.You can catch TBBT on Netflix and Amazon Prime VideoAlright, that's all we got about The Big Bang Theory. I shall be back again with another podcast about another popular film or show. Until next time it's your host Nikhil outta here. Aaj kya dekhoge OTTplay se poocho!

Mrs. Atwater says the driver was Melvin Parnell, who she picked out of the line up. Parnell is tall, lean and bald. Mr. Brooks says the driver was not Parnell, that the driver was fat and had lots of blonde hair. Lt Guthrie decides neither witness actually got a good look at the driver. The case will have to be solved the old fashioned way -- with good, sold detective work.

The Judy Canova Show is a favorite on Heirloom Radio... it was an old time comedy-variety program that was on the air from July 6, 1943 to June 27, 1944 on CBS and then moved to NBC from Jan. 13, 1945 to June 30, 1951 and returned from December 29, 1951 to May 28, 1953. Add it all up and it is about 10 years on the air... and if you listen to the show you will realize how truly talented this woman was... she was a classically trained vocalist who dressed up and acted like a real country Hayseed and the audiences loved her. With Ruth Perrott as Aunt Aggie, Ruby Dandridge as Geranium, Joseph Kearns as Benchley Botsford, Sharon Douglas as Brenda...Mel Blanc as Pedro... and more supporting actors including Gale Gordon, Sheldon Leonard, Gerald Mohr and Hans Conried... it was a powerful cast backing up a powerfully talented and patriotic woman...Judy Canova.

If you haven’t seen “The Big Bang Theory,” it stars Johnny Galecki and Jim Parsons as a couple of supernerds named Leonard and Sheldon – an in-joke for those of us who remember the late Sheldon Leonard.

The Martin and Lewis Show - On July 25, 1946, Jerry began a show business partnership with Dean Martin, an association that would soon skyrocket both to fame. It started when Jerry was performing at the 500 Club in Atlantic City and one of the other entertainers quit suddenly. Lewis, who had worked with Martin at the Glass Hat in New York City, suggested Dean as a replacement. At first they worked separately, but then ad-libbed together, improvising insults and jokes, squirting seltzer water, hurling bunches of celery and exuding general zaniness. In less than eighteen weeks their salaries soared from $250.00 a week to $5,000.00. For ten years Martin and Lewis sandwiched sixteen money making films between nightclub engagements, personal appearances, recording sessions, radio shows, and television bookings. Their last film together was "Hollywood or Bust" (1956). On July 25th of that year the two made their last nightclub appearance together at the Copacabana, exactly ten years to the day since they became a team. THIS EPISODE: August 30, 1949. NBC network. Sustaining. Dean's first tune is, "Your Lips Tell Me No, No, But There's Yes, Yes, In Your Eyes." After Florence quits, Dean and Jerry hire Guest Jane Russell to be their new secretary.

The Adventures Of Maisie - Maisie, the first in 1939, was from the book "Dark Dame" by the writer Wilson Collison,who did decades of scripting for the silver screen along with Broadway plays and magazine fiction.

"Maisie and I were just together - I just understood her," Sothern, born Harriette Arlene Lake, said after several of the films made her a star. Throughout the 1930s and '40s, Ann Sothern and Lucille Ball, like many performers in Hollywood, had not one but two careers - one in motion pictures and one on radio. MGM Studios had created the series of ten motion pictures based on a brash blonde with a heart "of spun gold."
