TV Confidential with Ed Robertson

TVC 572.1: Part 1 of a two-part interview with Kelly Conway, the eldest child—and only daughter—of comedy star Tim Conway, and the author of My Dad's Funnier Than Your Dad, a memoir of growing up with her dad and mom and five brothers that also shows us the quiet side of Tim Conway, including his dedication as a father, the indelible life lessons that he dispensed to his children (even in such unlikely places as the Santa Anita race track), and how Kelly often drew on those lessons during the last five years of her father's life, when she engaged in a legal battle with her stepmother over Tim Conway's conservatorship.

My Dad's Funnier Than Your Dad: Growing Up with Tim Conway in the Funniest House in America is available in hardcover and as an eBook through Lyons Press and Amazon.com and as an audiobook through Audible.

TVC 571.1: Film, music and TV historian Chuck Harter joins Ed for a look back at The Untouchables (ABC, 1959-1963), the long-running crime drama starring Robert Stack as federal agent Eliot Ness, and the show that put Quinn Martin on the map as a creative force in television. Martin produced the first season of The Untouchables for Desilu Productions (Desi Arnaz was executive producer), infusing it with many of the characteristics that would become his trademark once Martin became an independent producer throughout the 1960s and 1970s, including top-notch production values, motion picture-like quality, tight-knit editing, night for night shooting, and an amazing array of guest stars every week.
