    When was the first clip/recap show?

    Question #98501. Asked by Buddy1. (Aug 11 08 3:36 PM)


    cag1970

    		In my research, the earliest sports highlight/recap show that I could find is a program called "ABC Sports Review", hosted by Joe Hasel. According to the third edition of "Total Television", by Alex McNeil, "ABC Sports Review" was a 15-minute roundup of the week's sports news, and ran from August 1948 to April 1949.

    I do not have a link to the specific entry in McNeil's book, but I do have a link to McNeil's book, as it is available on Amazon.com.

    I'm looking for information on an old TV show from the late 60's or early 70's that appeared on public broadcasting. It was referred to as 'experimental TV', and I think the name of the show might have had the word 'strawberry' in it. This show had no characters or plot in the usual sense, but it was mainly about a guy who's stuck in a room or a box and has nothing but a chair. There was very little action and the whole thing was quite surreal. Does anyone else remember this show?
