Welcome to the official Omnibus With Alistair Cooke channel on UA-cam - Featuring the landmark series broadcast live across the US from 1952 to 1961, the most distinguished series of Television’s Golden Age. Here we’ll look back at the award-winning collection of social, political, and cultural highlights from the mid-20th century, the most remarkable assembly of talent ever presented on American screens.
Omnibus showcased both established stars and rising talent, many of whom made their television debuts on the show, starring in classic drama, modern comedy, musical theater, ballet, jazz, popular music, folk music, and dance. Omnibus ranged even further with presentations on art and architecture, avant-garde literature, American and world history, criminal and constitutional law, international relations, sports, and science. Viewers tuned in for entertainment, but also for instruction and insight.
The series aired successively over the CBS, ABC, and NBC networks, consistently attracted 16 million viewers to each episode, and won more than 65 awards, including nine Emmys and two Peabody awards.
Make sure you subscribe to see how television could bring the arts, science, and letters to a mass audience for the first time.

    When multi-track (2`track) recordings appeared in the 50's, the children of musicians remember how their parents told them not to listen to it, that it was an insult to music and a deception. Imagine them now if they listened to autotune with the AI voice of a dead man.

    You have to say UA-cam is amazing. This was exactly what I was looking for. Speaking of Cooke it's a shame that one thing you can't find is his perfect introductions to Masterpiece Theatre. (Nor Danger Man with the American credits.)

    This is the very earliest AMF 82-30 pinspotter with the 3930 "latch" chassis, where the distributor rested at the 10-pin as opposed to the 7-pin (IIRC most of the later 3930 chassis and all 4400s, 5850s, & 6525s, rested at the 7-pin also).

    Ahh the 8230s. Pin chased on those on the 12 lane local house in the 80s. They replaced them about 20 years ago. A local pro shop bought another old blowing alley for that purpose and still uses the 8230s to this day.
