For anyone who's wondering (or who cares), "Double
Life" is "The Double Life Of Henry Phyfe," with Red Buttons
in what was essentially a poor ripoff of "Get Smart."
 
Basically, there were more excellent shows to watch on TWO channels (2 and 7) on this very day in 1966 than there is on over 130 channels today! That's progress for ya! :(
 
From what I could tell, WNEW-TV was the last of the indies to "go color," in this year of 1966. (WOR-TV was the first, in 1960; WPIX followed in 1965.)

Meanwhile, on WABC-TV, their late afternoon/early evening movie series was still called The Big Show at this point; it had been at 6 P.M. since Jan. 3, 1966, but it wasn't until the fall (probably October or so) that it adopted the title The 6 O'Clock Movie - which in its essence anticipated the eventual titling of The 4:30 Movie after 1969 (though WABC played movies at 4:30 since Jan. 8, 1968).
