The Herman Hickman Show

Say, I never did put away this copy of THE COMPLETE DIRECTORY TO PRIME TIME NETWORK TV SHOWS 1946-PRESENT by Tim Brooks and Earle Marsh. Now that I've found it, I suppose I should leaf through it for something entertaining to share with you. Here's a series from 1952-53: THE HERMAN HICKMAN SHOW. According to THE COMPLETE DIRECTORY TO PRIME TIME NETWORK TV SHOWS 1946-PRESENT by Tim Brooks and Earle Marsh, "Herman Hickman was the star of this program." Good to know! It featured Mr. Hickman's "football predictions, reminiscences on his days as head football coach at Yale University... and an occasional poetic recitation." Yeah, I'm going to put this book away now.
