Cool Cats Show
''Cool Cats Show'' was an Australian television series that aired live on Melbourne station HSV-7 from 1958 to 1960. When it debuted Australian series often aired on a single station, but this was becoming less common during the run of the series, as more shows began being shown in several cities as television spread across the country. The series is notable as an early example of an Australian television series aimed at teenagers. TV listings of the era described it as a "teenage studio dance" hosted by Don Bennetts with guest artists. The Ted Vining Trio is listed as appearing in several episodes. It is not known if kinescope recordings exist of the series.

The Bert Newton Show
''The Bert Newton Show'' was an Australian television series which aired from 1959 to 1960.

In 1960, it moved to Thursdays and became ''Hi-Fi Club'', running for several more months. Episode status An excerpt of ''Hi-Fi Club'' (which looks like a kinescoped film transfer of a video-tape or vice versa) appears on YouTube suggesting that episode or episodes are still extant, although exactly how much footage still exists is unknown.

Teen Time
''Teen Time'' was an Australian television series which aired from 1959 to 1961. It was hosted by Keith Walshe and Carol Finlayson, and as was often the case with Australian music television series of the era, it aired on only a single station, in this case ATN-7. The series presented a mix of live music performances and records, and had a live audience. Dig Richards and the R'Jays appeared on Tuesdays, while Warren Williams appeared on Fridays. There are no copies of the series existing to date as TV at the time did not hold copies. They were copied over to save film. The only footage that exists of this TV show is a home movie held by the National Film and Sound Archive of Australia.

English-language Television Shows
English is a West Germanic language of the Indo-European language family, with its earliest forms spoken by the inhabitants of early medieval England. It is named after the Angles, one of the ancient Germanic peoples that migrated to the island of Great Britain. Existing on a dialect continuum with Scots, and then closest related to the Low Saxon and Frisian languages, English is genealogically West Germanic. However, its vocabulary is also distinctively influenced by dialects of France (about 29% of Modern English words) and Latin (also about 29%), plus some grammar and a small amount of core vocabulary influenced by Old Norse (a North Germanic language). Speakers of English are called Anglophones. The earliest forms of English, collectively known as Old English, evolved from a group of West Germanic (Ingvaeonic) dialects brought to Great Britain by Anglo-Saxon settlers in the 5th century and further mutated by Norse-speaking Viking settlers starting in the 8th and 9th ...

Black-and-white Australian Television Shows
Black-and-white (B&W or B/W) images combine black and white in a continuous spectrum, producing a range of shades of grey. Media The history of various visual media began with black and white, and as technology improved, altered to color. However, there are exceptions to this rule, including black-and-white fine art photography, as well as many film motion pictures and art film(s). Photography Contemporary use Since the late 1960s, few mainstream films have been shot in black-and-white. The reasons are frequently commercial, as it is difficult to sell a film for television broadcasting if the film is not in color. 1961 was the last year in which the majority of Hollywood films were released in black and white. Computing In computing terminology, ''black-and-white'' is sometimes used to refer to a binary image consisting solely of pure black pixels and pure white ones; what would normally be called a black-and-white image, that is, an image containing shades of g ...
