In an otherwise quiet week we have the surprising story of how British viewers actually thought The Avengers was a serious spy show, how dueling psychiatrist shows demonstrate the change in TV drama, and what celebrities think of the state of TV, circa 1964. Plus Sullivan vs. The Palace and more!
http://www.itsabouttv.com/2014/05/this-week-in-tv-guide-may-9-1964.html
As always your comments, positive as well as negative, are most welcome.
Today's listing is from Monday, May 11, a day like pretty much any other day. Nothing special or unusual, but if you want to know what TV was like in 1964, this is as good a place to start as any.
