00:00:04 Narrator: IN TV'S PIONEERING DECADES,

00:02:18 BUT WE NEVER DID THAT.

00:06:16 Narrator: THIS PHOENIX KIDS' PROGRAM

00:08:26 BECAUSE I HAVE A HOBBY THAT IS THE HOBBY OF KINGS.

00:12:36 SECOND FLOOR,

00:14:37 OUT IN THE GARAGE BEHIND CLAMPETT'S HOUSE,

00:19:22 I CALL MY BATHTUB "ROSIE."

00:21:52 YES, I GUESS THAT'S WHAT I MEAN, SURE.

00:24:49 NEVER WANTED TO DO THAT.

00:27:30 ACTUALLY SCORED A REAL HIT RECORD.

00:29:45 BEGAN TO TAKE HOLD.

00:31:48 Narrator: DESPITE THE UNIFORMITY,

00:38:25 ON THE AIR FOR MORE THAN 40 YEARS.

00:40:32 WERE LEFT WITHOUT THEIR BEST PITCHMAN.

00:42:36 THAT'S ALL IT COSTS.

00:44:47 AND THAT WAS A LOT, EVEN THEN.
