Championship Bridge Was Example of Walter Schwimmer Genius

One of the forgotten icons of early TV was Chicago based producer Walter Schwimmer. It was Walter who teamed with fellow forgotten icon Frederic Ziv to bring The Cisco Kid to TV viewers in the early 1950's. Walter had the foresight to shoot it in color, and the show endures to today. Walter also created the highly successful Championship Bowling, a show that was so successful that ABC helped the bowlers form the PBA, which endures to this day! Championship Bridge, All Star Golf, All Star Racing, and Let's Go to the Races were all Walter Schwimmer creations. The Championship Bridge show was wonderfully produced, with Chicago newsman Alex Drier as the host and Bridge legend Charles Goren as the expert anylist. The show only lasted a few years, and it was never succeeded by another TV bridge show. It lives in the Arts Channel of TV4U.Com, which can be found at TVS Tele.Net, one of the TVS Television Network IPTV channels.
