9 AM Phil Donahue (guests: the Statler Brothers)


WAGA Ch. 5 Atlanta (CBS)

Phil Donahue (Edwin Newman talks about misuses
of the English language, such as cliches, jargon,
and bad grammar.)


Kind of a change from his more 'controversial' topics in later years. Were episodes like these more typical of his show back then? As a youngster in the '70s and '80s, I only seem to remember 'that white-haired guy who interviewed weirdos'.
'Gay nuns on dope..on the next 'Donahue'! ' ;D

Newman wrote a book about the joys and pitfalls of the English language. I would assume it was published around that time; hence, the topic.

8 PM His Land (Billy Graham's musical director Cliff Barrows and
Cliff Richard conduct a musical tour of Israel.)

During the late-1960s and early-1970s, brit pop sensation Cliff Richard embraced Christianity, and released a series of Christian albums, alongside his secular hits. However, at the time, Richard was still an unknown in the US until two years later, when he scored his first American top ten hit, ironically called "Devil Woman":

'Gay nuns on dope..on the next 'Donahue'! ' ;D

Newman wrote a book about the joys and pitfalls of the English language. I would assume it was published around that time; hence, the topic.

The book was called "Strictly Speaking," and my parents gave it to me for Christmas that year. He later wrote a second book on the use of the English language (I think it was called "A Civil Tongue"). I highly recommend both books, as it seems to me,
from grading too many essays, that people (especially high school and college kids) have almost forgotten how to use the language properly (no offense if you're not guilty).

As for the content of Donahue's shows in those days, I can't generalize, but for the week of November 11-15, 1974 here
were the guests and/or topics:

Monday Channel 3: manners essential to the socially adept male
Channel 5: Angela Davis

Tuesday 3: Harvard psychiatrist Samuel Silverman discusses
psychosomatic illnesses
5: Author Elizabeth Janeway discusses women and careers

Wednesday 3: Cookbook author Sophie Leavitt tells how to cut costs
on food preparation
5: Psychotherapist Arnold Hutschnecker discusses his book
"The Drive For Power"

Thursday 3: Draft resistors discuss President Ford's amnesty plan
5: Dr. Neil Solomon discusses safe ways to lose weight

Friday 3: The Statler Brothers (a change of pace, anyway)
5: Edwin Newman

So nothing really 'way out that week; I can't say if this was typical
of the era for the show. I think the really far-out stuff started when
he had to compete with some of the shows that came along in the
early '90s, such as Ricki Lake's, but by then Oprah had become the
dominant daytime talk-show presence and Phil hung up his microphone
in 1996.
