CBS Affiliate Advisory Board "Studio Center" Bloopers (1963)​

---

Hosted by James Arness featuring bloopers from Gunsmoke, Rawhide, The Twilight Zone, Have Gun Will Travel and The Red Skelton Show.​

---

​

---

This was produced for a CBS affiliates advisory board meeting in the summer of 1963. Whoever "John" was, he introduced Jim Arness (on film) for a report on the various series produced at their "Studio Center" facilities (however, Rod Serling had a separate deal with Metro-Goldwyn Mayer Studios to produce "TWLIGHT ZONE" there, through the end of the series in 1964). "Bloopers" from various CBS series were also shown as part of this presentation. The announcer for the "Old Happiness" gag commercial is Hank Simms. (Barry I. Grauman)​

Rod Serling announces his newest series, starring Lloyd Bridges.​

---

​

---

Rod Serling was associated with this series during the first half of the 1965-'66 season, co-sponsored by Philip Morris {Marlboro, Parliament, Personna Razors and Blades, Clark Gum} and Procter & Gamble {Crest, et. al.}. He co-produced it [through his "Interlaken Productions" company], and wrote the majority of the episodes......until CBS protested his "cerebral" and "incisive" scripts, insisting on more action and gunplay- in other words, they wanted "just another Western".....which Rod wasn't willing to do. He left the series after writing 15 of the 26 episodes produced. The ratings weren't that great, either (it was opposite NBC's "SATURDAY NIGHT AT THE MOVIES" and ABC's "HOLLYWOOD PALACE"). (Barry I. Grauman)​
