The Buster Keaton Show was a television series broadcast in 1950, starring Buster Keaton. It was broadcast over KTTV,[1] which at the time was the Los Angeles affiliate of CBS (the network would start KNXT in 1951). Several episodes from the show were assembled into a feature length film that was released theatrically in the United Kingdom as The Misadventures of Buster Keaton.[2]
[edit] The Buster Keaton Comedy Show
This was Keaton's second foray into the new medium of television. It followed the 1949 one-off The Buster Keaton Comedy Show. Broadcast live, no record of that first program remains and it was not seen by viewers outside California, as it was not filmed in kinescope nor was there a coaxial cable linking the coasts, at that time.[2]
