I remember all these shows also but, our antenna would not pick up NY channels only 3,6, & 10 out of Philly and 10 was really snowy. We didn't have a cop for a host but we DID have Sally Starr !

We also had a Dumont tv

Great stuff. TV, just like the music, was much better than today's crap.
Actually had to get up and change channels, volume, move the antenna.
