Things That Are Still Here [VHS]
Rick Sebak

Wqed Multimedia, 2003

Take a bite of an Oram?s donut. Go for a swim at Ligonier Beach. Sit and stare at the dinosaur bones at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History. You may start to understand some of the enduring historic charms of Western Pennsylvania. The area around Pittsburgh is full of intriguing old places, unusual family-owned businesses, a wacky set of colored "belts" that sometimes circles the city, and lots of other unexpected pieces of our past. In ...

Something About Oakland (Pittsburgh) [VHS]

My Oakland Experiences
Oakland is a beautiful Pittsburgh neighborhood! The last time I went to Oakland was in October 2004 when I went to a taping of the "Jeopardy!" College Championship at the Petersen Events Center (unfortunately, there was no Petersen Events Center when this came out). When my aunt Michele had my cousin Angie, I went into Oakland to go to the "O", or the Original Hot Dog shop. I got a hot ...

Flying off the Bridge to Nowhere [VHS]

Rick Sebak

Wqed Multimedia, 2003

A big winner!
One thing I may need to know is this: In the introduction, when they talked about the Bridge to Nowhere incident on 12 December 1964 (it's been 41 years since it happened), did they reenact the incident? This is my favorite program in the Pittsburgh History Series. Premiering on October 28, 1990, it won two Mid-Atlantic Region Emmy Awards (Rick Sebak won for Producer of the Outstanding ...

South Side [VHS]
Rick Sebak

Wqed Multimedia, 2003

Whether you live there, shop there, go out to eat and drink there or just enjoy people-watching there, South Side is an unforgettable place, one of the liveliest neighborhoods around. You can get great pretzels there, too. Rick Sebak takes you on a tour of this part of town that?s divided into "flats" and "slopes." Along the way, we check out some used book stores, go to the huge Terminal Buildings, stop for lunch at Cupka?s, take a dip in ...

Wqed Multimedia, 2003

Another winner from Rick Sebak!
This video was entertaining and informative at the same time. It gave us lots of great ideas for places to visit while we're in the Pittsburgh area. As I mentioned in my other review of Rick's "Downtown Pittsburgh", it's rather like visiting Pittsburgh and its environs with an incredibly knowledgeable good friend. Wonderful!

Great Old Amusement Parks [VHS]

4 reviews
Rick Sebak (narrator)

Warner Home Video \ PBS Home Video, 1999

For lovers of old amusement parks
It was fun to watch the old rides that are still in amusement parks, and it had good interviews of those who run old amusement parks. The length could have been longer. I was suprized that it didn't mention the almost 200 yr old park that existed in our area. It was called Lincoln Park and it had alot of the old rides they discussed in the video.

Sandwiches That You Will Like [VHS]

Rick Sebak, Holly Moore

Wqed Multimedia, 2003

In love with a sandwich
I am NOT one to sit down and watch a movie, but while I was flipping through the television one day a long time ago this show was playing on PBS. Not only was I enthralled enough to sit and watch it then, but several times over the next few weeks while it aired. Recently I just put it on my Netflix listing, watched it repeatedly until my husband made me mail it back so I had to breakdown and buy ...

From the Courthouse to the Oyster House, this documentary takes you on a tour of some of Downtown's most notable landmarks and delicious destination. We go shopping, look up at the skyscrapers, stop for treats at CandyRama, and go for a ride with a bicycle messenger. You get to see places that aren't open to the ...

A Hot Dog Program [VHS]

Rick Sebak (narrator)

Warner Home Video \ PBS Home Video, 2000

It's a Weiner!
We just loved this video! We first saw it on late night television and then were thrilled to find it on Amazon.com. The movie focuses on an American tradition - the hot dog stand...in all of its forms...from the street vendor in Alaska to the Nathan's franchise on Coney Island and everything in between. Perhaps what we liked best was that the video not only concentrates on the stands/stores ...

Holy Pittsburgh [VHS]

Pittsburgh?s churches are full of sacred treasures, unforgettable people, and wonderful ways of preserving important traditions. HOLY PITTSBURGH! takes you on a tour of some of the city?s most memorable and unusual houses of worship. You?ll see the extraordinary murals at St. Nicholas in Millvale, the dazzling collection of holy relics on glass windows.

Mon the AL & the o [VHS]
Rick Sebak

Wqed Multimedia, 2003

Whatever happened to that B-25 that crashed into the Monongahela in 1956? That?s just one part of this slightly wacky documentary. Most cities are happy with one river, but Pittsburgh is blessed with three! And they?re three dammed good ones: the Monongahela, the Allegheny and the Ohio. This somewhat zany program looks at the dams, the locks, the history, and some of the good stories that are told on and about Pittsburgh?s rivers. We ...

Pennsylvania Diners and other Roadside Restaurants [VHS]

Rick Sebak

Wqed Multimedia, 2003

Great Video !
I have owned this video since it was available and it is one of my favorite . I have played it so many times, I'm almost due for a new one. The subject just seems to take me back to my childhood of neighborhood grocerys, milk men and of course, mom and pop restaurants. Rick Sebak's easy narration style adds the right touch, making the whole documentary feel not so documentary-like. The ...

Things We've Made [VHS]
Rick Sebak

Wqed Multimedia, 2004

THINGS WE?VE MADE Maybe we are what we make. We?ve been as distinctive as Iron City Beer for more than a century. We?ve been as sweet as Betsy Ann Chocolates for decades. And everybody knows we?re as strong as steel and as useful as aluminum too. In this documentary, WQED producer Rick Sebak and his Pittsburgh crew consider some of the history of manufacturing in our area, celebrating products past and present. The delicious as well ...

Kennywood Memories [VHS]

Rick Sebak

Wqed Multimedia, 2003

a timeless work of art
Rick Sebak is a master at documentaries. You will not be disappointed with this entry. I bought the vhs when it first came out and this dvd is exceptional because of the bonus material. Any fan of Kennywood has to have this dvd and I strongly urge Mr. Sebak and/or WQED to consider a sequel to catch up on the advances in the park. Thanks for a great documentary on this marvelous amusement park and ...

A Flea Market Documentary [VHS]

1 review
Rick Sebak, Frank DeCaro

Pbs (Direct), 2001

A coast-to-coast journey
I actually came to add this video to my Wish List, and am horrified to see no reviews yet! This documentary is a favorite; my best friend (read: travel accomplice) and I love it. It is a virtual road trip, scouring the continental US for its most intriguing flea markets, from the miles-long yard sale to the urbane open-air market. Lighthearted and fun, with unbelievable merchandise (and the ...

Happy Holidays In Pittsburgh [VHS]
Rick Sebak

Wqed Multimedia, 2003

When winter arrives, people around Pittsburgh have ways of coping with the gloom. Like people everywhere, we celebrate: Christmas, Hanukah, Kwanzaa, Ramadan and Eid, among other things. We cut our own trees, and we decorate them. We love to visit the Miniature Railroad at the Carnegie Science Center, the Nationality Rooms in the Cathedral of Learning at Pitt, the old home sin Allegheny West, the zillions of lights at Hartwood Acres, and now ...

A LIP LICKING EXPERIENCE!!
I really enjoyed learning all about the ins and outs of the history of Ice Cream. My children and their classmates love to watch it over and over again.

Stuff That's Gone [VHS]
Rick Sebak

Wqed Multimedia, 2003

There?s just not enough room in Pittsburgh to keep everything, and we?ve gotten rid of some things that people miss a lot. It?s fun to be reminded about stuff that?s gone. Remember Winkys hamburger joints? All the drive-in theaters that used to be around here? The Gazebo restaurant in Shadyside? Did you ever sit up late listening to Party Line on KDKA radio? Or stop to gawk at the KQV window? Remember when you could wave goodbye at the old ...

It's the Neighborhoods [VHS]
Rick Sebak

Wqed Multimedia, 2004

IT?S THE NEIGHBORHOODS Where you live is important. What makes it a pleasant and unforgettable place depends on many factors. In this new Pittsburgh History special, producer Rick Sebak and his TV team look for some of the reasons why neighborhoods around here are so memorable, from Aluminum City Terrace in New Kensington to Polish Hill to Collier Township (where the Hi Neighbor! Club has been meeting once a month since 1958.) We check out ...
