TelevisionVanguard
Television Vanguard is a passion project, not-for-profit YouTube channel that offers tributes to recent and vintage linear broadcast and cable television programming that we believe represents the best that television has offered over the years and decades. It is hoped that these short video clips can remind the YouTube viewers of the talent that has helped shape our television landscape the past seventy plus years.
The talented people in these video clips who performed in front of the camera, and those who worked behind the camera, are the pioneers of television, and these series of videos are dedicated to their great, and lasting work. They are indeed, the Television Vanguard. We want to provide moral support to the writers, actors, directors and support teams (past and present) who have helped make television one the the most important electronic mediums for generations of viewers.
As Television Vanguard enters its second decade, we offer a sincere thank you.
