Comments on: Status Guide – “Cavalcade of Stars” http://www.tvobscurities.com/2009/07/status-guide-cavalcade-of-stars/ Keeping Obscure TV From Fading Away Forever Sat, 31 Jul 2010 15:15:07 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Chris Garrigues http://www.tvobscurities.com/2009/07/status-guide-cavalcade-of-stars/comment-page-1/#comment-68913 Chris Garrigues Fri, 30 Jul 2010 19:02:33 +0000 http://www.tvobscurities.com/?p=3539#comment-68913 There is an episode of "Cavalcade of Stars" in the Internet Archive at http://www.archive.org/details/Cavalcade which doesn't match any of the episodes in this Guide. It's hosted by Jerry Lester and has guests The Schaller Brothers, Kyle MacDonald, Gali Gali, and Jackie Robinson. A reviewer on the Internet Archive assumed it was the May 20, 1950 show based on Jackie Robinson's appearance, but none of the other guests match your entry in this guide. Funny that "reviewer" didn't actually watch the show before commenting there; instead they just quoted this page.

This is why his 1952-'70 CBS contracts specifically stated he receive a copy of virtually EVERY show he did, kinescoped- and later on videotape. There wouldn't be any "Lost Episodes" of "The Honeymooners" (from his variety show) today if he hadn't. Some of the "CAVALCADE OF STARS" kinnnies were also saved by one of Gleason's writers, Snag Werris...
