MZTV

The MZTV was really interesting. i enjoyed looking at the timeline of TV. i particularly liked seeing the progression and the importance of variety shows. First was the Ed Sullivan show. this show produced memorable moments such as the first images of Elvis dancing and the introduction of the Beatles. Next came The tonight show with Steve Allen in 1954. I thought that it was interesting because this year we are going through a late night transition. Jay Leno, who replaced Johnny Carson, is being replaced by Conan O'Brien. its cool to see history still evolving.

I also looked at the Marlyn Monroe feature. It was interesting that all of the stars at the time ignored TV and underestimated its influence. Although she underestimated the medium she eventually used to gain even greater popularity.
