This week: Shirley Temple, the Kentucky Derby, Boxing, Billy Graham and Liberace. What more could you possibly ask for?
http://www.itsabouttv.com/2013/05/this-week-in-tv-guide-may-3-1958.html
As always your comments, positive as well as negative, are welcome.
And now - the programs for Saturday, May 3. Although this was the Minneapolis-St. Paul edition of TV Guide, it includes stations from Fargo, ND to Duluth, MN. I know we in the Twin Cities liked to think that we had everything, but this is ridiculous!
A couple of miscellaneous notes: look at the Westerns! We know they were still big in the 50s, but Westerns dominate Saturdays, especially in the morning and afternoon. Most of the movies are Westerns, and the CBS combo of Gunsmoke (soon to be an hour) and Have Gun, Will Travel will soon be joined by Wanted - Dead or Alive. A throwback to the days of the serials.
Baseball's also big, with NBC and CBS presenting their dueling games, as back then networks signed deals with individual teams rather than MLB as a whole.
And we've got many stations with shared affiliations - mostly, perhaps, ABC trying to squeeze in a program or two wherever they can.
