#14012: BARRY GRAY INTERVIEWS, THE
Order1963-03-27, WMCA, 32 min.
Barry Gray was an American radio personality, often referred to as "the father of talk radio." His late-night New York City radio talk show was carried by WOR radio and then later by WMCA. Barry Gray returned to WMCA in 1950, and stayed there for 39 years, refining the talk show format still utilized today. During the 1960s, he was in the odd position of having an 11 p.m.-1 a.m. late-night talk show on a station otherwise dominated by Top 40 music and the youth-targeted "Good Guys" disc jockey campaign. But for teenagers who kept their radios on into the night, Gray's show was a window into the high-brow New York culture of the 1940s and 1950s. Topic: Barry Gray discusses the virtue of the Academy Awards with guests David Susskind, Celeste Holme, Abby Mann and others.

TV writers and producers criticize the medium in "You Should See What You're Missing!" What's missing on the air, according to those interviewed, are thought-provoking, hard-hitting programs. "What you wind up with" says "Barney Miller" producer Danny Arnold, "is a kind of innocuous pablum." Similar criticisms are offered by former "MASH" producer Larry Gelbart, "Police Story" creator Joseph Wambaugh, Abby Mann ("Kojak") and Susan Harris, whose series "Fay" (cancelled last season) is among those excerpted in a look at network censorship. Also: how new shows are tested. NOTE: Joined in progress. Missing opening three minutes. Otherwise complete.
