\u003cP\u003eDuring television's first fifty yearsâlong before cable networks, Hulu, Netflix, and the likeâfamilies would gather around their television sets nightly to watch entertaining shows such as \u003cI\u003eI Love Lucy, Gunsmoke, M*A*S*H, The Beverly Hillbillies, Fantasy Island\u003c/I\u003e, and \u003cI\u003eThe Rockford Files\u003c/I\u003e. Many of the stars of these beloved shows have passed away, but their presence remains intactânot only through their television show performances, which are still viewed and appreciated today, but also through stories they told in interviews over the years. \u003c/P\u003e\u003cP\u003eSeasoned journalists and authors James Bawden and Ron Miller have captured provocative and entertaining interviews with important figures from TV's first fifty years.
