A wonderful snapshot of what Americans were curious about in the 50s, "You Asked For It" debuted in 1950 and continued offering its speciaI "believe-it-or-not" brand of entertainment on ABC until 1959. Attempts were made to revive the show in the 1980s and 90s, but were unsuccessful in capturing the wide-eyed wonder and innocence of the originaI series. Each week for nearly a decade, inquiring viewers from aII over the country wrote in requesting to see the strange and bizarre. The show's producers delivered it alI, from the sublime to the ridiculous, the heart-Iifting to the heart-stopping, and everything in between!
