If "Uncle Miltie," "Your Show Of Shows," and "Bilko" mean something special to you, then this hour will too. For 60 minutes at least, the golden age of TV comedy comes alive.
Milton Berle, Sid Caesar, and Phil Silvers recreate classic routines from television series of the 1950s...Berle keeps getting it smack in the face as"The Movie Stand-In"; Caesar takes center stage (with Berle and Silvers as straightmen) for one of those great silent film spoofs; Silvers major segment is scheduled to involve reminiscences of the wheeling-dealing Bilko.
Also: a salute to Ernie Kovacs, with the three stars pantomiming the nutty Nairobi Trio, and an old-time vaudeville routine (with song, dance, and bad jokes).

August 18, 1969-February 11, 1972.  The first of a two-part salute to the big band era. CBS signed Merv Griffin to a ninety-minute late night talk show in 1969. On hand were announcer Arthur Treacher and the Mort Lindsay Orchestra, both of whom had been with Griffin on his Westinghouse show. In September 1970 the show moved from New York to Los Angeles but to no avail, playing second best to "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson." Most of these shows were erased by CBS and did not survive.

Guests: Rich Little and B.B. King. 
Highlights include: "Guess Who" and "The Thrill Is Gone."  

 The Mancini Generation, a syndicated TV series that premiered in 1972, was hosted by none other than the man himself, award-winning composer Henry Mancini, and featured instrumental 40-man band versions of standards from pop hits to movie themes to classical overtures as well as originals composed by the series' star. After a brief run the show was canceled, perhaps having come a bit too late to appeal to the tastes of an audience that several years earlier would have more readily embraced a program perceived as cooler than The Lawrence Welk Show but not as cool as rock and roll. But there's a ring of truth to the short-lived series' title; the period from the late '50s through early '70s could easily be seen as an era defined by Mancini's music. His compositions permeated pop culture during those years, if often in subtle ways. He created literally hundreds of music scores, gaining acclaim, fame and fortune for television themes like Peter Gunn and Mr. Lucky and movie music for Breakfast at Tiffany's and The Pink Panther among many, in addition to occasional non-big- or small-screen recordings, supplying a daily music backdrop for tens of millions of people falling within that particular generation.
