Television Trivia/60's show

Question
Hi
I'm trying to remember a show I used to watch as a kid.
It was on for only a couple of years right before Ed Sullivan on CBS affiliate in Burlington, vt.
It was 30 minutes and was documentary style show telling the story of great heroes.
Title was something like great American hero.
Thanks
Howard

Answer
Howard, I'm afraid I have nothing on this...

I believe that show was either a local show or a syndicated one; it was not a CBS network show, as this was the line-up of shows immediately preceding The Ed Sullivan Show in the 60's...

1959-1962  Dennis The Menace
1963-1965  My Favorite Martian
1966       It's About Time
1967-1968  Gentle Ben
1969       To Rome, With Love

My suggestion to you is to go to the Burlington library and search out their old newspaper section in the periodicals; the paper would have the TV show grids...

Sorry I couldn't answer your query !!!

Thanks for a Great Question !!!
Take Care,
Mike

I will try and answer all questions dealing with television...show names, plots, actors, roles, networks, etc...US shows primarily; not real knowledgeable on TV from other countries...I lean heavily into past, more so than current, television...and, my knowledge dealing with "reality" shows is limited, due to the fact that I really can't stand the genre (my apologies to all the "Reality" fans out there...)
