Talk:Biography (TV program)

Assessment Ratings
Provided ratings for article. Basics seem to be covered to raise it from stub to start class. Longevity and breadth of program seem to warrant mid-level importance, but feel free to change. JimVC3 (talk) 00:10, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

new Youtube posting, apparently prompted by death of Mike Wallace
There is a clip from the Pope Pius XII biography, which is apparently part of the early 1960s series hosted by Mike Wallace. My music web site already had a from-memory arrangement of that Biography theme. But who are the people in the display at the start of the show? I think I know who 4 of those 6 are:

Top, from left: FDR, Babe Ruth, Winston Churchill

Bottom, from left: unknown man, Albert Einstein, unknown woman — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.63.16.82 (talk) 17:09, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

I also posted the question in response to that YouTube video, and I have seen answer: at lower left is Gandhi, and at lower right is Greta Garbo. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.63.16.82 (talk) 21:02, 18 April 2012 (UTC)


 * IT's def Gandhi, but I'm unsure about the Garbo one. It's not a great likeness. 73.175.166.88 (talk) 00:09, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

I am looking for a list of episodes with credits. Can someone get a start on that? I have neither the experience nor the qualification to undertake this. Thanks! 137.149.131.167 (talk) 15:13, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

Which channel? Which years?
Years and channels jump around a bit in the article.

Infobox shows "A&E (1987-2006, 2017-) Bio Channel/FYI (2006-)"

Since A&E created The Biography Channel in 1999, wouldn't this series have moved to its namesake channel in 1999? They may have kept showing on A&E, but would expect the "home" channel would be its namesake channel.

Also, article shows conflicting information for the original run, giving both "1961-1964" and "1961-1963". Help! Jmg38 (talk) 04:14, 25 November 2017 (UTC)

Excessive citations...removing template
I didn't know such a template existed. 9999% of the time, citations go begging. Anyway, I don't think 48 cites is too much or otherwise of concern so I'm deleting the template. Allreet (talk) 14:20, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
