- Mrs. Wells, a world traveler who shot 16 mm films of her journeys, narrated her home movies, first on WNBT, New York City, then on the NBC network. When she ran out of films, the series ended. Epitomizes the era of primitive TV when broadcasters were willing to show anything that moved.

- A series of filmed home run contests between two sluggers of the late 1950s/early 1960s, one National Leaguer, one American Leaguer. The batters had to swing at every pitch in the strike zone. Any called strike or batted ball that did not go for a home run was an out. (Three outs per inning.) The batter with the most runs at the end of nine innings won $2000. The loser got $1000. As an added incentive, any batter who hit three home runs in a row got a $500 bonus. Each consecutive home run after the first three in a row was worth an additional $500. While one hitter was at bat, the other sat in the press box with host Mark Scott and talked about both his and the other hitter's career. Filmed at Wrigley Field--home of the Pacific Coast League Los Angeles Angels--where the power alleys were a generous 345 feet from home plate.

- An early educational series. Short films produced by the Encyclopedia Britannica were followed by lecture by Dr. McClintock. About ten months after its debut, a readers' poll in Television magazine rated this program as important but dull. The sponsor, U.S. Rubber, relying on this poll, made one of the oddest decisions in TV history: they insisted that a musical segment featuring new talent be added. This new format lasted a few weeks before the series was canceled.
