NOTE: This particular issue of TV Guide debuted a new look for the TV listings section which emphasized Helvetica with Medium, and designated color shows with a (C) symbol which was the same shape as the channel designations; this replaced the listings layout which (except for some alterations over the years) was basically in effect since 1956; the new layout, with numerous modifications big and small, will remain in place through 1985.
