7/3/ 1940   The legendary comedy team of Bud Abbott and Lou Costello debuted
with their network show on NBC.

I once (I think it was on the A&E Biography of Abbott & Costello) that
when they started on radio, listeners complained that it was hard to
tell the two voices apart.  So Costello started using his signature
high-pitch voice to distinguish his voice from Abbott's.

7/4/ 1951   Jack Webb, along with Dragnet, also did a summer show that of
Pete Kelly. Pete Kelly's Blues, a crime drama, was the summer
replacement on NBC for Halls of Ivy (with Ronald Colman and Benita Hume).

I seem to remember that Pete Kelly's Blues also had a television
incarnation some time in the late 1950s, though I never saw it myself.

Episode 214

Episode 216

"THE CBS 'MIRACLE OF AMERICA' & 'HOUR OF CHARM' JULY 4TH CELEBRATION" -
ENCORE

Now, more than ever, we need to celebrate America's amazing declaration
of independence and dependence on its constitution and traditional
family values as the basis of a healthy society. So please celebrate
with me once again "The Miracle of America" (Episodes 127 & 176 from my
Archives)

Happy Birthday, America! America's Charter of Freedom or Independence
was declared on July 2, 1776, approved by Congress on July 4, and signed
on August 2 -- all after 86 edits including deleting the condemnation of
slavery. The completed document brought into life the miracle of
America, and that's the name of the first program of this episode: "The
Miracle of America," broadcast in 1950 on CBS.

Robert Young hosted this program featuring artists like Frank Sinatra,
Jack Benny, Bing and Bob Crosby, Ronald Coleman, Charles Laughton, Dick
Haymes, Jo Stafford, Smilin' Jack Smith, Jerry Gray, and Dinah Shore.
Some of the songs performed include "Hoop-Dee-Doo," "The House I Live
In," "The Lord's Prayer," and a medley of Stephan Foster songs performed
by Lucille Norman and the Lud Gluskin orchestra.

Jack Benny and Mary Livingston do a comedy sketch at the racetrack,
Charles Laughton shares his moving experience of becoming a [removed] citizen
in 1950, and Governor Earl Warren delivers a message about America,
along with messages from the Secretaries of Commerce and Labor.

On this independence day episode we play "The Miracle of America" to
salute all the brave service men and women who made and make the miracle
known as America and its freedom a reality.
