[edit] Cooking shows on tv
The article claimed "In 1946 he appeared on the first cooking show ever televised, I Love to Eat on NBC.." but the book "Television broadcasting" by Lenox Lohr, New York: McGraw Hill(1940) says pp 78-79 "Television programs of cooking lessons have proved interesting, at least to housewives. One such program was built around the arrival of an unexpected guest, illustrating how a meal was prepared from what was on the pantry shelves." NBC tv in New York did extensive broadcasting 1939 through 1941, and remained on the air with minimal broadcasting through world war II. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Edison (talk • contribs) 20:54, 3 October, 2006 (UTC).
- If that book clearly states this, then it can be used as a reference, and the line about Beard being on the first cooking show can be removed. Or perhaps it can be amended to say something like: "It is often thought that James Beard was the first person to appear on a cooling show, however this book says otherwise etc..." --Mattarata 02:20, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
