Suspense starring Bob Hope (1949)
Paul Frees announces that Bob Hope stars in this week's episode of that greatest of radio dramas: Suspense. The episode Death has a Shadow. Bob plays it straight and intense like... for one of the few times in his career. Listen.
The New Dick Van Dyke Show (1971)
Generally I rely on YouTube and occasionally Guba, Veoh, GoogleVideo and Dailymotion for the videos posted on Classic Television Showbiz. I've avoided popular sites like AOLvideo and Hulu because they are not available in Canada - and i'm not about to embed something that I myself can't even watch. However, I recently discovered a way around that and if you are using a computer outside the United States like me then you'll want to go here and figure out what you need to do to watch these videos. It's remarkably simple. After you've done that you'll not only be able to watch this episode of The New Dick Van Dyke Show, you'll also be able to watch several full - mostly high quality - episodes of Adam 12, Dragnet '68, Chico and the Man, The Dick Van Dyke Show, McHale's Navy, The Barney Miller Show, The Bob Newhart Show, The Partridge Family, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Lou Grant, Starsky and Hutch , F Troop, Lost in Space and several others on AOL and Hulu. Unfortunately you do have to sit through a preliminary thirty second advertisement and the odd middle thirty second ad when watching them - so make sure you have your computer's mute button close at hand. Also, once you install the AnchorFree software it'll prompt you to "choose a sponsor" but it's fairly harmless, it will just create a small ad box at the top of your page that you can easily close by clicking on the 'x'.

What's My Line with guest one of the guys who played Bozo the Clown (not Larry Harmon) (1969)
I posted the first half of this here before but now game show YouTuber AdamNedeff has posted the second half and it's interesting. It features the guy who just appeared as Bozo the Clown without his make-up. Not sure if this is the only episode of What's My Line in which the exact same guest appeared as the challenger in two consecutive installments.

What's My Line with mystery guests Robert Mitchum, Rhonda Flemming, Charlton Heston, Van Johnson, Fred Astaire, Eva Gabor, Mamie Van Doren etc.
I know it has kinda been the What's My Line/Hollywood Palace hour here at the site of late, but I'm kinda at the mercy of what appears on the internet in a given week and this just what's been popping up. I wish the YouTubers would just post the entire episodes of What's My Line as I don't get GSN, and even if I did, I have a lot of trouble sitting through their endless commercials.

Shelley Berman (1984)
Berman is almost unrecognizable in one of his rare times doing stand-up on eighties TV.
