Idea for such a program was originally
conceived by Betty Allen of Pacific National advertising agency. It was an
ambitious undertaking and the early programs reflected some of the problems
encountered in production of a two-camera TV show in a very limited amount of
space. However, through trial and error on these first shows, the
difficulties have been ironed out and a smooth production is the result.
Programs are planned for the future with
an eye to the enjoyment of the viewer and the on-the-spot audience.
Suggestions and comments from these sources are used as a guide in the selection
of forthcoming programs.
Guests in the past have included members
of "Desperate Hours," Chuck Holloway, Jr., president of the United
Fund, and Menalkas Selander, one of Oregon's most renowned artists, and other
well-known personalities.
One future show will feature Oregon's most
popular sport, skiing. Another will have as its theme winter vacations in
Honolulu (there'll be a hula demonstration by a certain slick chick, whose name
we can't reveal at the moment). And, of course, for Christmas at Bart's,
Old St. Nick will be in attendance.
Aside from the actual program content,
which makes it good viewing, it is worthwhile to attend in person to get an
on-the-spot slant of TV production.
