How strange.............

Ch. 30 has Abbott & Costello at 9AM -- then King & Odie at 9:15... then Snap Judgment at 10AM ????? Was that the shortest version of that movie in history? Or did they merely play one of those Super 8 preview films? ::)

Then,--- 40 Film “Charlie Chan at the Winter Olympics". I know one of his movies was ..."at the Olympics"...NOT the "Winter" Olympics :D

Channel 30 serialized the movie throughout the week at 9a. The Abbott and Costello movie also ran on Tuesday and Wednesday @ 9a-9:30a; Thursday and Friday it was "Trail of the Vigilantes".

As for Charlie Chan - that was the listing. I had to look at it twice myself, as it didn't seem to make much sense to me either.
