Ultra Rare! ‘Garry Moore Show’…Rundown Sheet, December 1, 1959<\/p>\n
This rare piece of history comes to us from our friend David Schwartz. This is from the second season of the second version of ‘The Garry Moore Show’ which was a one hour, weeknight version and originated from CBS Studio 50 – The Ed Sullivan Theater. <\/p>\n
The original version was a daily half hour show that ran mid afternoons on CBS from 1950 till 1958. That show came from CBS Studio 59 – The Mansfield Theater which is where Garry’s other show, ‘What’s My Line’ came from. <\/p>\n
As you see at the bottom of the second sheet, the show was taped live at 7PM on Friday nights, but it aired on Tuesday nights at 10PM. <\/p>\n
The FAX abbreviation here is short for Facilities Check, which is basically camera rehearsal and includes full sets, props and the actors on stage as well. At 10:30 Friday morning, we see a pre-record with singers and orchastra. This was most likely Diahann Carroll singing with the orchastra on stage with her, which would eliminate a live move of the orchastra from the pit to the stage and back. <\/p>\n
I don’t know where Rehearsal Halls G and F were at Studio 50, but it’s possible they were in the basement where the control rooms are now. Anyone know? Enjoy and share! -Bobby Ellerbee<\/p>\n
