 The story of Connecticut television’s precarious and sometimes hilarious beginnings is told in this 60-minute CPTV Original. Produced by Frank Borres, the special uses archival footage and photographs as well as interviews with the people who were there to reveal the growing pains and successes of early television in the state. The program includes interviews with broadcast legends Bob Steele, Brad Davis, Johnny Palmer and Mr. Goober a.k.a. Mike Warren.

Take a trip down memory lane with scenes from programs like RANGER ANDY and THE MILK SHOW (Connecticut's version of American Bandstand) hosted by Brad Davis. Remember early mornings watching MR. GOOBER? All of your old favorites are here to bring you back to the good old days when the magic of television was brought into your home from over the air waves. No need to adjust your "rabbit ears" here. Just click on one of the video playlist pages and travel back in time.
