SINATRA: Sinatra im TV

Sinatra im TV

Meine sehr verehrten Damen und Herren, natürlich dauerte es nicht lange, bis der Barde auch im Fernsehen präsent wurde und dorten neben Gast-Auftritten in Shows von Kollegen auch eigene regelmäßige Shows hatte, welche hierorts kurz angeführt werden sollen.

Regelmäßige TV-Shows
Von 1950 bis 1960 hatte Sinatra regelmäßig ausgestrahlte eigene TV-Shows, in denen er Songs zum Besen gab sowie prominente Kollegen empfing. Neben Gesangs-Darbietungen gehörten auch Comedy-Sketches zum Programm. Naturgemäß kam es dabei auch immer wieder zu interessanten Duett-Kombinationen. Material aus diesen Shows ist auf der offiziellen DVD Classic Duets erschienen.

The Frank Sinatra Show
Diese regelmäßige und von Firmen wie Ecko Housewares, Chesterfield und Bulova Watch gesponserte Show mit einer Laufzeit von einer Stunde wurde zunächst vom Sender CBS,
ab Oktober 1957 von ABC produziert und jeweils an Samstagen und Dienstagen zur Ausstrahl- ung gebracht (ab 1957 lief die Show an Freitagen). Sendetermin der ersten Show war der 7. Oktober des Jahres 1950.
