I can see the rationale for all of these selections except "The Dinah Shore Show". What is the basis for any iconic status for that program? I don't know very much about it (my mother and grandmother used to talk about her later show, with Chevy in the title) was it basically the same but shorter? Was it the first variety show headlined by a woman or something? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Like TV only smarter.
