Music, Movies, and T.V. Shows from the 1920's?

Question

Can anyone give me a list of music, movies, and t.v. shows from the 1920's.
If you can identifiy what each one is and the date it came out and the people who played or sung it is appericiated if not its fine.
I really need theis for a fashion merchandising project and my computer is really slow anr freezes when ever i do a search for it it took me 15 mins to get yahoo answers up.
So if you guys can do this for me ill be forever thankful.

Answer 1

There are no TV shows from the 1920s. "The Untouchables" and "The Roaring Twenties" were set in that time period, but TV didn't come into American homes until the Fifties though they were available much earlier. I suppose that first the county had to recuperate from World War II then have the economy recover in order to bring such a luxury home. We were the second home in our itty-bitty town to have one, not long after my maternal grandparents bought one~b&w of course. Programming wasn't that great at first, so those early TV sets wouldn't have been receiving much.



Here are some songs from the 1920s, but there are far more I'm sure:

Dardanella - Ben Selvin

Swanee - Al Jolson

When My Baby Smiles At Me - Ted Lewis

Whispering - Paul Whiteman

Wabash Blues - Isham Jones

Three O'Clock In The Morning - Paul Whiteman

Who? - George Olsen

Some Of These Days - Sophie Tucker

In A Little Spanish Town - Paul Whiteman

My Blue Heaven - Gene Austin

Charmaine - Guy Lombardo

Ramona - Gene Austin

Sonny Boy - Al Jolson

Carolina Moon - Gene Austin

Honey - Rudy Vallee

Tip-Toe Through The Tulips - Nick Lucas

Fascinatin' Rhythm

Yes, I'm in the Barrel (written by Louis Armstrong)

Hard-Hearted Hannah

Rose of Washington Square

Dr. Jazz

Stardust

Until the Real Thing Comes Along

Pink Flamingo

Chicago; That Toddling Town

Answer 2

I became a teenager in the mid-60's - I'm in the UK so can only speak for TV over here. For starters, we only had three channels, and on the whole, they shut down before midnight (they even had a thing called 'The Epilogue', usually a religous thought for the day, and I remember the BBC playing the National Anthem before sending us off to bed!) Children's TV was quite imaginative back then - we had 'Watch with Mother' which, if memory serves me well, was on around lunchtime Monday to Friday, each day having a different programme - 'Andy Pandy', 'Picture Book', 'Rag, Tag & Bobtail', 'The Flowerpot Men', and 'The Woodentops', all of which had been shown since the '50's. There were the first Gerry Anderson shows - 'Supercar', 'Fireball XL5', 'Captain Scarlet', etc., and 1963 saw the start of my still all-time favourite show - 'Dr. Who'. There were quite a few American imports I remember, mostly westerns such as 'Wagon Train', 'Wyatt Earp', 'Cheyanne', 'Bronco', 'Gunsmoke' and others. Our own home-grown series were things like 'Robin Hood' and 'William Tell'. On the musical front, we had 'Ready, Steady, Go', 'Thank Your Lucky Stars', 'Juke Box Jury', and, of course, 'Top of the Pops'. We also saw the start of satire on TV - 'That Was The Week That Was' (TW3), 'Beyond the Fringe', and the end of the 60's saw the start of 'Monty Python's Flying Circus'. There were many plays written or adapted for TV, including one or two by Dennis Potter, some quite controversial in their day ('Son of Man' springs to mind) The first soap over here started in 1960 - 'Coronation Street', and that's still going strong and even has one original cast member in it! We got 'Star Trek' a couple of years after it had shown on American TV, and that was popular mainly with us teenage boys....... oh, the memories are flooding back - obviously there's much more I've forgotten, but I hope I've given you some idea of what teenagers were watching way back then!

Answer 6

TV did not come officially on line until 1946 or so, so you would be hard pressed to come up with any shows



RADIO is what you need to ask about. But go here for help
