At Home (TV series)

At Home was an early American television series which aired on New York City television station WCBW (now WCBS-TV) from 1944 to 1945. The series was a variety show, one of the first such series produced for American television. Little is known about this series (such as the running time).

Format

The series presented variety acts. One episode, for example, featured comedian Bernie West, dancer Ronnie Cunningham, singer Vera Pandowsky, guitarist Youl Bryner, and was hosted by Paquita Anderson.[1] A different episode featured dancer Sandra Barrett and juggler Senor Francisco.[2]

Episode status

Methods to record live television did not exist until late 1947. As such, the series is most likely lost except possibly for still photographs.

gollark: (Nobody likes Mercury, and it's near the sun)
gollark: *Ideally* we would convert Mercury into solar panels with self-replicators of some sort, but you know.
gollark: If you wanted to actually deploy them as, you know, solar panels, you would need more space than that.
gollark: If it wasn't for horrible cost problems (apparently mostly due to regulatory badness) you could basically just get arbitrary amounts of power from nuclear.
