Lee Bailey in the first half-hour; the second half was turned back to local stations.<br />Bailey was the first flop of this season; ABC gave the whole hour back to the locals in January.<br />Meanwhile, ABC also moved <i>Hollywood Palace</i> <b>back to Saturdays in its old slot</b>, in place of <i>Iron Horse</i>.<br />Apparently, the ABC station where you were living put <i>Palace</i> on Thursday; did they do this in the fall or in January?<br />ABC was having more problems than usual getting its affiliates to carry shows; this was a .factor in the early cancellations of <i>Good Company</i> and <i>Iron Horse</i>.<br />I'll make the guess that your local station ran a movie on Saturdays . When did they start?<br /><br />Still probing the past.<br />Where will I strike next?Mike Dorannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042603612494762084.post-40135362258753591252014-03-17T15:28:13.968-04:002014-03-17T15:28:13.968-04:00Wasn't "Don't Count The Candles"...Wasn't "Don't Count The Candles" actually produced by the BBC but aired by CBS thanks to an agreement between the two to swap news film?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042603612494762084.post-70183260174798974682014-03-16T17:16:51.024-04:002014-03-16T17:16:51.024-04:00I am pretty sure that I, too, was watching "A...I am pretty sure that I, too, was watching "A Night to Remember" in '68, or maybe it was during a repeat in later years, but whenever it was, the movie made a big impression on me. I can still see those shots of the ship rearing up in the ocean, and hear my mother remarking on how terrible it would be to see it go down. I don't believe I've seen it since. jbhttp://jabartlett.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
