Look at that lineup..My grandmother, by the way watched The Doctors over House Party and Another World over To Tell The Truth, and Days of Our Lives over Love is A Many Splendored Thing. All other shows were CBS.....expect for Concentration.

4-6- Snap Judgment (an NBC show on WTEV, why?)

Because WJAR ran a movie -- well, part of one -- from 9 to 10:30.
