In addition to capturing the series’ interviews, the production crew is sifting through archives across the country in search of the rare clips that define these pioneers. “It’s amazing how much ‘lost’ footage we’ve unearthed from the early days.” said writer/producer Mike Trinklein.
I'm curious to see what they'll come up with for The Honeymooners. Speaking of which, where did you read about The Honeymooners being included and Joyce Randolph being interviewed? I can't seem to find that information on that website...

Oh okay, thanks for the info. I Love Lucy, The Honeymooners and The Dick Van Dyke Show all in one show! I definitely have to remember to watch that when it airs.
