A rather dull listing, with dull programming, and 2, 4 and 11 off the air for the day.

Amazingly, there is still existing video of Sandy's Dream. Clips were shown on KTLA's 50th anniversary special, which was aired in 1997. The woman who was Sandy was also on hand with her memories.

Equally amazing, the video that was shown was of excellent quality. It looked like it was taped the week before. Sandy's Dream was a live broadcast.

Sandy's Dream was a cleverly-conceived program. It would show Sandy, a girl around 8, under the covers going to sleep. She was covered all the way up her neck so as not to show the clothes she was about to be seen wearing in her dream. Then, the wave effect would run, and a harp would start playing, then Sandy would have her adventure, and it was never a bad dream or a nightmare. Then she would wake up, and her wake-up scene would be semi-related to what happened in her dream, i.e.- she would dream about being in Ice Cream Land, talking to Mr. Ice Cream, and when she woke, a bowl of ice cream would be waiting for her and her brother.

Would that be such a bad show for today's children?
