The stars appear on daytime game shows, and nighttime specials. Politics rears its ugly head on the Sunday morning talk shows. Football, Letters to the Editor, Sullivan vs. The Palace, the problem with TV news, and more!

This week's listing is from Saturday, October 16. I don't remember this day specifically, but I do remember what Saturdays were like without wall-to-wall sports. Cartoons, semi-educational programming, local movies, and one big college football game. I'm struck, in looking at this listing, at how much cross-network programming there was. KCMT, Channel 7 in Alexandria, was formally a split affiliation (primary NBC, secondary ABC), but many of the outstate stations present shows from networks not represented in their broadcast area. (For example, Duluth featured American Bandstand, Jimmy Dean and Shindig, among others, on the CBS affiliate and The FBI on the NBC affiliate.) I think it perhaps tells us something about the culture of the time, and the shows that were seen as important to have running in a market. The delay in the airing of these shows is also quite interesting - there were three different episodes of Bandstand showing that Saturday!
