I was only 4 in 1962, but I do remember most of those shows either because they stayed on the air into the mid-1960s or beyond, or because they were popular enough to go into syndication for many years following. Strange to see the cancer sticks sponsors. I remember a lot of the talk shows and variety shows had smokey stages due to so many participants/hosts smoking during the show. Most of the shows I remember were from around the mid-1960s and later. I seem to remember that before the show "The 20th Century" went off the air it changed its name to "The 21st Century" and was shown on Saturday mornings in my area, and still had Walter Cronkite as host.
