53 years ago today. My mom was home with a screaming three-week old baby. Fortunately, I don't scream as much now as I did then.

Odd that at 7 PM Chs. 4 and 6 would list the show they were
airing as "The Betty Hutton Show," and Ch. 11 would list its
show as "Goldie," since it was the same show. Ms. Hutton played
Goldie Appleby (AFAIK, no relation to Carolyn Appleby on "I Love
Lucy") and "Goldie" was the alternate name of the show. Not that
it matters; "The Donna Reed Show" on ABC clobbered it.

"Star Performance" is the name of a popular syndicated '50s anthology
series (actually reruns of the 1952-56 "Four Star Playhouse" with David
Niven, Charles Boyer, Dick Powell, and Ida Lupino) and was 30 minutes
long. I suspect Ch. 4 signed off right after the show. Ironically, Powell
played the recurring character of nightclub owner Willie Dante; that character
got his own show, "Dante," in 1960 but the actor playing him was Ida Lupino's
husband, Howard Duff.
