Channel 6 passed up basketball for Questions for the Doctor??? That's almost as dumb as that station in San Diego running E/I instead of March Madness.

Channel 3 at noon: Your Senator's Report. A Republican and Democratic senator from Pennsylvania had combined their shows and did a weekly program together with civil debate and friendly banter. Respect. Courtesy. It would never happen today.

Doesn't seem the public television schedule has changed all that much.

11:15 Steve Allen (guests Fran Jeffries, Rosemarie, Roosevelt Grier, and Curtis & Tracey)
...I assume this was a rerun from the 1962-64 Westinghouse syndicated run; Allen's television work in 1966 was mainly hosting I've Got a Secret on CBS and guest shots, and his Filmways talk show wasn't introduced until 1968. Did the other Group W stations (WBZ-TV/4 Boston, KDKA-TV/2 Pittsburgh, KPIX-TV/5 San Francisco and WJZ-TV/13 Baltimore) rerun The Steve Allen Show this late after it ceased production?...
