This episode is from the WNYC archives. It may contain language which is no longer politically or socially appropriate.
Gilbert Seldes, discusses a recent New York Times article about housewives longing for parlor and mud rooms rather than basements, attics, dens or guest rooms in their homes. The cultural critic then moves on to talk about a "B" movie about a uranium mine and an "A" picture, The Picnic. He also talks about Gertrude Berg of The Goldbergs and her transition from radio to TV. Seldes says there should be a museum of television to present both the best and worst of the medium.
