The American Archive of Public Broadcasting's own catalog record for Eastern Wisdom and Modern Life, the KQED-TV series Alan Watts wrote and hosted, first airing December 31, 1959, 34 half-hour episodes across two seasons. The Archive is a joint project of GBH and the Library of Congress preserving American public broadcasting history; its catalog record names the producing station, the host and the episode count directly rather than through a secondary retelling.
Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier1
This is the American Archive of Public Broadcasting's own catalog record, a joint project of GBH and the Library of Congress, treated at the top tier as a national archival institution's own direct custodial record naming the producing station, host and episode count. NotesThe official U.S. public-broadcasting archive's own catalog record, naming the producing station, air date and episode count directly. The publication year recorded here is the original 1959 broadcast year; the archive record itself carries no separate publication date of its own, a gap named rather than left silent. Reliable for these production facts; it does not discuss the series' content or reception beyond a brief synopsis.
