▶ "One Step Beyond" Equivalent: Grey Reminder. (with John Newland) 

Excellent point. These broadcasts from early 1950s . . . have the same feel as daytime soap operas. Partly it's because they are both "live" and partly because they both use highlighting music . . .

Loved that show but my dad would come home from work and turn the TV off🤣

Glad you found them . . .

This is more evocative of early (1951) television . . . than I think it is generally given credit for. It has a simple, matter-of-factness about it (not yet disproportionately stylized) . . . that I really like.

@Alexa Penn: Maybe . . . you're second-guessing the fact that other people second guess (?)

BTW: Tough call for the writer . . . to make it a modern ringing with a doorbell or an old school knocking at the door. Maybe I should try editing the video and putting in knocking, to see how it works: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-r1pJzw6Q-98.html

Old school stuff still has it's charm . . .

@@one-step-beyond-1959 Yes, it most certainly does! I am beyond deeply grateful for the chance/opportunity to view these wonderful programs! Thank you so very much! My late, dear father, who died far too soon in 2011 due to a brain tumor --so loved these in his younger years, as do I now!! Thank you for making it possible for me to see & hear them as though I were doing so with my Dad. 😘 ❣💜🙏💙❣

@Suzanne Sheets: Glad you found this channel (!)

"Huh (?) What kind of chump do you take me for (?)"

lol loved the old gangster talk

Yep.....

@videomom.net: Uhhh . . . because it's not her letter (?)

A federal offense to open someone else's mail...lol

English upper-class code of honour?

It's the only one that I've found . . . that meets the requirement of being like OSB.

@@one-step-beyond-1959 Thanks so much for these videos. I'm 40 years old and love all the old and (new to some extent) Twighlight Zone episodes, but this channel introduced me to OSB. FYI the TZ will be played on a 24hr marathon on the SciFi channel on NYE. Anyway thanks for the channel.

@@johnwayne3085 Glad you found this channel. The T-Zone marathon has been going on for 40 years. But now, it's easy to bring up any episode on the internet on demand . . .

It wasn't filmed. This is a kinescope of a live television broadcast . . .

@@one-step-beyond-1959 A kinescope was a film made off a tv picture tube. It was the only way to record a live tv show in the early 1950s, and since at that time, union rules forbade reuse of kinescopes after 60 days, often no special care was taken to preserve them.

@@kpasa111 They did for movies filmed directly with 35 mm motion picture cameras, but kinescopes were necessarily limited by the resolution of the television monitor and they were often not properly preserved. In fact sometimes they were considered a nuisance and intentionally destroyed. Out of 10 years of live programming (c. 1945-1955) only about 300 individual episodes broadcast on the defunct Dumont television network survive today. See my above comment. In addition, your computer monitor or flat screen HDTV is not optimized to display 1950s NTSC analog tv. It would have looked better on a 1951 television set.

@@jsat5609 interesting!!
