''The Dinah Shore Chevy Show'' is an American variety series hosted by Dinah Shore, and broadcast on NBC from October 1956 to June 1963. The series was sponsored by the Chevrolet Motor Division of General Motors and its theme song, sung by Shore, was "See the U.S.A. in Your Chevrolet", which continued to be used in Chevrolet advertising for several more years after the cancellation of the show. ==Synopsis== The program began as a series of nine monthly specials substituting in the regular time slot of the ''Gillette Cavalcade of Sports''. NBC first tested the singing star in an hour long format with two prime time specials early in 1956. The first Chevy Show episode aired on October 5, 1956 with Frank Sinatra as guest. By this time, Shore was already a veteran television performer, having hosted five seasons of the 15-minute-long ''Dinah Shore Show'', also sustained by Chevrolet. It was in its final season (the final season for all 15-minute prime time network entertainment series) when ''The Dinah Shore Chevy Show'' was launched. The series featured celebrity guests from the worlds of music, theater, sports, and movies.〔(The Dinah Shore Show at The Museum of Broadcast Communications )〕 The program was well-received and renewed the following fall as a weekly Sunday night series, broadcast in color, where it remained until Bonanza, another Chevy sponsored hour, moved from Saturday at 7:30 p.m. into that time slot for the 1961-62 season. Dinah ended her decade-long association with Chevrolet in 1961 and returned as part of an alternating Friday night lineup, with the show retitled simply ''The Dinah Shore Show,'' Purex becoming her primary sponsor. In its final season, from October 14, 1962, to May 12, 1963, it appeared on Sunday nights following ''Bonanza''. In 1970 Dinah Shore returned as a staple of American television in various daytime talk shows for NBC and syndication for more than twenty years after the conclusion of this series.〔 The show won four Emmy Awards during its run. Beginning in 2011 black-and-white kinescope episodes of the series have aired on the Jewish Life Television network. Original color videotape episodes were added to the JLTV line up in 2015. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Dinah Shore Chevy Show」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
