The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Foundation's Archive of American Television has made many of its more than 550 exclusive video oral TV history interviews with TV legends available online. Interviewees include Fred Silverman, Alan Alda, Sherwood Schwartz, James Arness, Dick Van Dyke, Roy Huggins, Sid Caesar, Quincy Jones, Carroll O'Connor, Bob Carroll & Madelyn Pugh Davis, Andy Griffith, Leslie Moonves, Bob Mackie, Leonard Stern, Milton Berle, William Shatner, Carl Reiner and many, many more. The interviews are in-depth, typically two to seven hours long, and are a master class in television. It's truly a remarkable resource.
These oral history interviews are conducted chronologically, starting from the subject's early years and ending on current projects. Each segment is about 30-minutes long, and there are multiple segments in an entire interview.
