Honeymooners? Trivia expert Mel Simons remembers and has now penned The Old-Time Television Trivia Book. | ~Foreward by Fred Foy, announcer on The Lone Ranger
and The Dick Cavett Show.~
| Did you ever wonder about the personalities lurking behind your Philco? Mel's
latest book is filled with interviews and anecdotes from many of your favorite old-time radio stars, from Fibber
McGee to Rudy Vallee to cast members of the Jack Benny and Fred Allen Shows.

|  Test your knowledge this time on ALL entertainment! Stage, screen, radio, music!
Can you match wits with the Master of Trivia, and win?
| ~Foreward by Bob Elliott of Bob & Ray.~
| Before reality TV, there was "real" television, before cable TV's talking heads,
television was something to "talk" about, a medium that teemed with genuine entertainment.
| There are few people who have more insight and knowledge of the "good old days" of television than Boston radio
personality, author, trivia expert and humorist, Mel Simons has. Mel has cultivated, over the years, personal
relationships with such TV greats as Milton Berle, Georgie Jessel, Perry Como and Steve Allen. Old-Time
Television Memories is a compilation of interviews with these and many other TV "originals."
~Foreward by Bill Dana.~
|  There is no better way to escape into a world of fantasy than by going to the
movies. And if you are a movie "maven," there is no better way to test your knowledge than to take a ride through
movie history with Mel Simons. Do you know Indiana Jones' real first name or which Marx brother was really named
Herbert? Who said "All right, Mr. DeMille. I'm ready for my closeup." and in what movie? Grab some popcorn and
friends and turn video night into a full fledged movie party.
