In 1950, only 1 percent of the American population had televisions; by the end of the decade, more than half of the homes in the U.S.had sets. Welcoming this new era of communications was producer Robert Saudek's weekly hour-and-a-half program, Omnibus. Alastair Cooke hosted the live, Emmy-award-winning program, which ran from 1952 to 1961. Featuring drama, dance, music, science, art, history, and opera, the show brought in crisp black and white an extraordinary world to people's living rooms. Omnibus: Television's Golden Age is a 100-minute documentary, narrated by Hume Cronyn (who tells a marvelous story about working with the then-unknown actor James Dean), about the groundbreaking show that incorporates full-length skits. These include: Les Paul and Mary Ford performing together; Frank Lloyd Wright discussing the cost of designing a house (a remarkable $30,000 to $45,000); comedy team Mike Nichols and Elaine Mays performing a telephone skit that is still funny today; Dr.Seuss talking about his favorite museum; Johnny Unitas and Sugar Ray Robinson as the impetus for a new dance; Eartha Kitt singing a Turkish song; Archibald MacLeish narrating a piece about Grandma Moses; the Benny Goodman Trio playing Gershwin; and more. This program also shows what the times were like as Cooke takes to the streets of New York to discover "Night People"; spends a day at The New York Times; and allows Senator John F.Kennedy Jr.to host a segment on courage. There are touching moments as well, as when an older Cronyn watches himself and Jessica Tandy performing in A Streetcar Named Desire. This marvelous documentary will not only be appreciated by those who watched the TV show when it was live, but by new audiences who will see the real potential television has. --Jenny Brown
