Cavalcade of Stars

What’s that?  You’ve never heard of the Cavalcade of Stars?  Let me guess, you’ve never heard of Jackie Gleason either, right?  Well, in a time before the mind numbingly stupid “reality television” the networks fob off onto us today, there was a lot of quality television programing.  I’m talking, Grade A, number one, top notch quality.  One of these programs was the Cavalcade of Stars.  It’s where the Honeymooners was first broadcast back in October of 1951.  You know, the Honeymooners staring Jackie Gleason.  Still not ringing any bells?  Well, watch the clip below and if your curious to learn more, make sure to visit the library so we can show you the Museum of Broadcast communications encyclopedia of television.
