What happens

The Frank Sinatra Show (also known as Bulova Watch Time) is an American television musical variety series hosted by Frank Sinatra from October 7, 1950, to April 1, 1952. The series aired on CBS on Saturdays the first season and on Tuesdays for the second year. As with many variety shows of the time, the show was broadcast live and was recorded via kinescope. Some episodes were 30 minutes long while others lasted for 60 minutes. At least one episode aired in a 45-minute time-slot. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
