Sequences of the 1940s
9 sequences from shows that began in the 1940s. A show’s sequences stay together under the decade it started in, even where the run carried on into the next one.
- Candid Camera — Season 1No usable clip kept. The only upload is from the 1991 syndicated revival, and the programme ran as a series of separate incarnations that share no season numbering.
- CBS Evening News — Season 1No usable clip kept. The available upload is the theme over a static card and fails the moving-picture check.
- The Ed Sullivan Show — Season 148sFan upload.
- Kraft Television Theatre — Season 1No usable clip verified. Searches return compilation reels of other programmes' credits rather than this one's.
- The Life of Riley — Season 136sFan upload of the Bendix version's credits.
- The Lone Ranger — Season 159sRestored fan upload of the long version of the opening. Found on a second query after the first returned an opening-and-closing bundle.
- Meet the Press — Season 7715sFan upload of the 2023 intro; counting a season per year from the November 1947 launch, that is the seventy-seventh.
- Studio One — Season 1No usable clip verified. Searches return compilation reels of other programmes' credits rather than this one's.
- Texaco Star Theater — Season 1No usable clip kept — the available upload runs the opening and closing together rather than the opening alone.
