I find this movie listing interesting considering the date and subject matter- the crash happened in 1929..Also early starring roles for two screen legends-Crawford and Gable.


EDIT:I did not realize till after typing this that the September 8 date is exactly 42 years ago today. I got this listing from a visit to the Akron Public Library weeks ago..

Likely a local production as with most exhibition games. Lahr was a Browns player of the 1950s.

Interesting that the AFL season started a week before the NFL

One of the great game-show flops ever - two experts on a subject writing out answers in twin isolation booths. This was supposed to be the "return of the big-money quiz shows" but didn't last long. Neither did "Arrest and Trial" for that matter.

Then again, it might just be somebody else named Jim Brown. Maybe Jim Ed Brown, the singer.

(One wonders what the difference was in these two shows)


> 1:30 Changing Times-Kiplinger-Low Key Informercial
These used to be all over the place, filling in 15-minute blocks where needed. Kiplinger is still in business publishing magazines and business newsletters. Changing Times was its magazine for investors ; the infomercials always featured somebody named Doug (last name forgotten) who would emphasize the magazine could NOT be found on newsstands.


> 6:30 Littlest Hobo-Cartoon (CBS Mr. Ed)
Cartoon or filmed series? I think it was about a German Shepherd dog.

Highly unlikely since this listing was SPORTS and the name would be too much of a coincidence not to be the Browns Running Back and there was also a sports report with a regular anchor during the 11:00 news

I think that's a typo. Littlest Hobo was a series filmed
in Canada about a wandering German Shepherd dog named London.

That was a typo-in more ways than one-The plot description actually described the 90 minute Shirley Temple Movie from 1936-Captain January-which is impossible because Lassie followed on channel 8 at 7:00 But it did say "Littlest Hobo-Cartoon" With the Movie description following. Probably the Canadian series..

And Dick Wolf resurrected the title for his short-lived syndicated legal reality show in 2003(or was it 2002).

Was this "Dan Hackel, Mutual News"
from some years later?

That's a possibility..Hackel is one of the few Cleveland TV News Names over the years I hadn't at least heard of
