Classic TV: Camera Three (1950's)

 We had a review of this next entry up once before, but the video was deleted, and we deleted the review.

Camera Three started as a regionally produced series from WCBS in NYC in the early 50's before going national in 1956 for what would be a 24 season run (1956-79). CBS cancelled Camera Three, Look up & Live, and Lamp Unto my Feet to make room for Sunday Morning, which is still running today, 43 years later.

As memory serves, the three public affairs series were blacked out in the 518 by the local affiliates in favor of local programming, so there won't be a fair rating. We posted a 1975 episode over at Saturday Morning Archives earlier as it was devoted to the Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies crew. Here, we're going back a little further to the late 60's for a half hour devoted to bluesmen Son House and Buddy Guy.
