Imagine Your Hit Parade on TV Today!

First on radio prior to the advent of commercial TV in 1948, Your Hit Parade reprised the five or six top pop songs of the week using a house orhestra and a regular cast of singers. It seemlessly moved to network TV and was most popular throughout the 1950's. Until the start of the rock and roll era, it was the song that was the hit, and that song could be 'covered' by any number of artists. When rock and roll took over the pop music scene, this all changed. Now the song AND the artist were inseperable. No one wanted to hear Snookie Lansom or Giselle MacKenzie sing an Elvis Presley tune!

Can you imagine what a Your Hit Parade would be today? Frankly, neither can I so I'll settle for that nostalgic visit to TV4U.Com on its Vintage Channel to watch the classic Your Hit Parade shows.

You can also go direct to the Nostalgia TV Network at NTV Tele.Net to see this and so many other great shows from the Golden Age of Television....1948-63.

Of course, Mickey's daughter Amy Dolenz has continued the family Hollywood tradition.

60 Years of Classic TV

Only on NTV Tele.Net (Nostalgia Television) will you find the full 60 years of classic TV shows from the USA. For many years Nostalgia Television was known as NTV and on your cable system. Then, incredibly, the channel was bought by the Moonies and changed to 'Good Life' TV!. Of course, it was neither good, nor had any life to the cable channel. Fortunately, we have a library of thousands of shows from the past 60 years, most of which were never aired again after their initial airing on TV back in the 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's and even 90's. We are putting these shows up as fast as we can (TV4U.Com has 48 channels, and they all need new shows), but you should be seeing about 1,000 'new' shows every year on NTV Tele.Net. Its not only entertaining, but it's also turning out to be somewhat of a historic repository for the average viewer. Sort of an everyman's Museum of Television.

Old Radio Shows

The Suspense show on Nostalgia TV (NTV) was originally a popular radio show. This often happened in the early days of TV. Show like Dragnet, Ozzie and Harriet, Gunsmoke, The Lone Ranger, Wild Bill Hickok, Have Gun Will Travel, and You Bet Your Life were all originally radio shows. In the early years of TV, the networks hedged their bets and ran these shows on both radio AND television. Once the coast was clear, the networks scrapped he radio version and just presented the shows on TV. If you'd like to hear the radio version of Suspense and the other shows, they'll be coming soon to RKONetwork.Com.
