2* Movie "The Daughter of Rosie O'Grady"
 
I noticed the movie "Don't Push, I'll Charge When I'm Ready"
on the schedule. That movie was filmed in 1969 and had not
aired prior to NBC's telecast of it on its Sunday-night late movie
on this very date. I bring it up because Soupy Sales (RIP) was
in it, and Gil Fates mentions it in his book about "What's My Line?"
The movie also had Dwayne (Dobie Gillis) Hickman, and Enzo Cerusico
("My Friend Tony," which aired on NBC earlier in 1969). I've often
wondered what happened to Cerusico; I think NBC was high on him
in '69 but his career in the U.S. never caught fire.

I remember Enzo Cerusico as well at that time..."My Friend Tony" was supposed to be his "breakout series", but it didnt happen..

18 Wrestling
...this was, of course, the All-Star Wrestling from Verne Gagne's Minneapolis-based American Wrestling Association. On most weeks, it would simply be a repeat of the same program WVTV/18 ran the previous day at 5:00 PM. However, on Sundays following a monthly house card in Milwaukee (which Gagne made sure to always hold on a Saturday night in MKE), WVTV would invariably substitute Mean Gene Okerlund's Minneapolis-taped interviews with filmed post-match interview clips from the locker room at the MECCA, sometimes conducted by the AWA's Milwaukee-based promoter/advance guy Dennis Hilgart...
