Sure there have been a lot of specials out there. But this one has taken the cake. As it has about a lot of your favorites that you grew up with. A lot of them are now gone to the "TV heaven." While some still live. CBS had their 50th anniversary in 1978!
Yet this is what TV was all about. As CBS aired these for seven nights in a row for their 50th Anniversary. Most specials now a days try to cram it into four hours like the NBC 50th anniversary someone on this board has mentioned.
CBS went all out with nine hours, a whole week when it originally aired on March 26th-April 1st.
At the end, all the stars about 120 of them, came out in a black tie affair to wish "Happy Birthday" to CBS 50th! In the end, when the credits roll up, they had the stars in the old CBS building. To see if you can name them in reverse ABC order.
Hope CBS will have a heart to release this on DVD as a lot of people would love to see this. Those that have seen it and would love to see it again. And those that want to see it for the very first time.
This is what made TV awesome. And CBS indeed was THE Tiffany Network at the time. Not like the junk you see on TV these days.
