Orson Bean narrates this nostalgic trip back to the exciting escapist world of movie serials. Inspired by the recent prime-time airing of "Flash Gordon Conquers The Universe" (Wednesday's at 8PM) producer Ken Johnson screened over 60 hours of serial chapters before selecting the following excerpts: "The Phantom Empire" (1935) with Gene Autry and Frankie Darro. "Tailspin Tommy In The Great Air Mystery" (1935) with Noah Beery Jr., Jean Rogers, and Maurice Murphy. "Flash Gordon's Trip To Mars" (1936 ) with Buster Crabbe, Jean Rogers, and Frank Shannon. "Tim Tyler's Luck (1937) with Frankie Thomas and Jack Mulhall. "Perils of Nyoka" (1942) with Kay Aldrige and Clayton Moore. Still photos show theaters packing kids during Saturday matinees when the main attraction was usually the weekly serial chapter. Additional footage shows the serial as it existed during pre-soundtrack days.

October 1, 1962-May 22, 1992. Johnny Carson, host of NBC's network late-night "Tonight Show" reigned for 30 unprecedented years...five times the combined tenure of Steve Allen, and Jack Paar. Carson was impervious to competition, including efforts to dethrone him by Les Crane, Joey Bishop, Merv Griffin, Dick Cavett, Jack Paar, Pat Sajak, Joan Rivers, and Arsenio Hall. Sadly, very few complete "Tonight Show" broadcasts survive during Johnny Carson's first ten years of broadcasting. Around 1965, through the early 1970's, oldest tapes were first erased systematically by orders from myopic NBC executives, to be recycled for purposes of saving money. Ironically, in many cases, these older master tapes were too brittle, and portended probable drop-outs for re-use after being erased. Subsequently blank after being erased, these older questionable master 2" Quad tapes were either sparingly used or never used again for recording new programming and eventually were discarded. Saving thousands of dollars at the time (wiping master tapes for potential re-use) resulted in losing millions of dollars by NBC in today's marketplace, and more importantly wiping thousands of historic TONIGHT SHOW broadcasts, which contain precious personal anecdotes from political, show business, and sports icons of the past.
