Google Video brings you the Archive of American Television interviews

Google Video brings you the Archive of American Television interviews.

The archive contains over 450 interviews with the likes of Grant Tinker, Ted Turner, Norman Lear, Rita Moreno, Quincy Jones, Carl Reiner ... The video interviews come in multiple parts. To easily find the first segment of five, pop in a name (Ricardo Montalban, for instance) and sort through the hits.

Maybe Google is still uploading videos: in some cases, I couldn't find all segments in a series and the search results only show 501 hits, which means the number of interviews is probably more like 100-200 at this point, being as there's a hit for each segment of an interview.

Barbara Eden seems charming. I hadn't realized that she grew up in San Francisco.
