This week’s listing comes from Friday, May 8. Until I saw these listings, I’d completely forgotten about the old John Davidson show, which was supposed to groom him as Mike Douglas’ replacement. Didn’t work, did it? And look at that – an early TV appearance by Dr. Laura! Let’s see what else was on TV the day I celebrated by 21st birthday.
