This week, TV schedules remain in flux in the aftermath of the JFK assassination. But Thanksgiving goes on, as does regular programming by the end of the week. Plus, TV Guide does hatchet jobs on Gene Barry and David Susskind, and Christmas (advertising) is in the air!

As always your comments, positive as well as negative, are most welcome.
The week's listing comes from Thanksgiving Day, November 28. By then networks were back to broadcasting regular programming - the final act in the week's drama had been LBJ's speech to a joint session of Congress on Wednesday - and I'm sure it was a welcome respite for a weary and shell-shocked populace. At that, it must have been very hard to try and return to normal, whatever that meant.
