Before the Internet how did peoples get Tickets to attend/or for a TV Shows Taping?
Nowadays We have the Internet and the big Three (ABC, CBS and NBC) of course each have a websites to get Tickets for a TV show Taping that you want to see(Last Man Standing, Two and Half Mens, How I Met your mother etc) or you can also a websites like tvtix.com. You can also go to the TV Show Website that you want to see a taping of to buy a Ticket.
So back in the 60's, 70's, 80's and early 90's How did peoples get ticket for a TV Show Taping(Lucy, Three's Company, Mary Tyler Moore, Dick Van Dyke show, Maude, Jeffersons, Happy Days, All In the Family, Cheers, Cosby show, Golden Girls, Good Times, Andy Griffin, Roseanne, Murphy Brown, Seinfeld Home Improvement etc)?
Now you can go on Internet and Find Phone Numbers, addresses and Emails for Networks, TV Shows, Studios, Production Company, etc we didn't have that(All Information right in front of you) until the Late 90's. Before that it not like you could open the Phone book and everything you needed would be right there, Did they have to call a local CBS station or whatever network the show aired on? For example if you wanted to see a Taping of All in the Family and Maude which both Shows aired on CBS did you have to call your local CBS station to get tickets?
I am just wondering how did things(Getting TV Tickets) work before the Internet rose to popularity in the mid 90's. None of the networks had a website until between 95-97. Not Just Primetime but Daytime Talks shows and Late Night shows also.
