See-BS' "Two Weeks On The Moon" w/ Charles Kuralt - Ain't Bootlegs Wunnerful?

....I'm currently watching a kinescope bootleg of a color broadcast -
which means it's in B&W! - of a 1966 See-BS special featuring Charles
Kuralt. It's an hour-long special dedicated to Surveyor 1, and it's
actually pretty good. You'd never see anything like this these days,
thanks to the networks' fear of losing ad bucks by giving space
exploration anything other than a news blurb about Nowak's choice of
diapers.

....The real gem, tho, is a brief overview of moon travel in fiction,
narrated by Dick Tufeld. You're almost disappointed that the segment
didn't begin with "As you'll recall, we last left Will, Smith and the
Robot..." :-)
