The lovely Priscilla Presley graces this week's cover, while inside we read about the return of one of the longest of (and most mismanaged) miniseries, big-name movies, a big-time strike by the actors' union, the presidential debate that almost was, and more!

As always your comments, positive as well as negative, are most welcome.
Today's listing is from Sunday, September 21. There's a presidential debate scheduled for tonight, but at press time it's in doubt, as President Carter is refusing to appear if independent candidate John Anderson is included. In the event, the debate did occur and was televised by at least a couple of networks (ABC indicated they would only cover it if Carter participated; I don't know if they went through with that or not), but the listings below are those that appeared in the issue - in other words, not including the debate.
Also, in the interests of time, I've only included the Twin Cities stations, although the issue itself was the Minnesota State Edition. No offense intended if you're a fan of one of the outstate stations.
