Back in the early days of television, pretty much all TV was live, due to expense in filming as well as a [[ItWillNeverCatchOn belief that nobody would want to watch the same episodes twice]]. Among the first shows to be pre-recorded were ''Series/YouBetYourLife'' and ''Series/ILoveLucy'', but it wasn't until the late-1950s/early-1960s when it became common and normal for television shows to be pre-recorded. Today, live TV is pretty much limited to news, variety shows, talk shows, game shows, telethons, and reality shows, and even then, a lot of those are pre-recorded.
