(After WBAP's remote unit broke down they were offered the use of KTVT's, in return for KTVT being allowed to use the NBC feed from WBAP.)
Interesting that the ABC station didn't air Burke's Law, The Farmer's Daughter, or The Fight of the Week (unless they were DBed to other times in the week.)
ReplyDeleteA little note from my half-vast store of nickel knowledge:
The show on NBC at 1pm was People Will Talk, a game show of sorts from Heatter-Quigley, with Dennis James as host.
The premise: a debate subject was posed, and two contestants would take each side and present their cases.
Then a panel of fifteen people selected from the studio audience would vote Yes or No; whichever contestant convinced the plurality of panel members would win cash & prizes.
If this seems familiar, maybe you remember The Celebrity Game which H-Q mounted as a summer replacement on CBS a couple of years later.
Same premise, but with a panel of nine, all celebs (hence the name).
And from there, H-Q further revised this into a straight (sort of) quiz, and called it Hollywood Squares.
Something I just happened to remember.
Now back to trying to anticipate which year you're going to land in for next week's TV Guide ....
H-Q switched PEOPLE WILL TALK to an all-celebrity format not long before NBC cancelled it in December. My copy of the first edition of THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF TV GAME SHOWS has a picture from this version, with an impressive array of celebrities for a daytime quiz show, including Lloyd Bridges, Gloria Swanson, and Lee Marvin. According to what I have read, this format functioned as sort of a pilot to THE CELEBRITY GAME, which CBS premiered on Sunday afternoons in January.

DeleteThe episode of "Burke's Law" that was due to run on November 22, 1963 was "Who Killed Jason Shaw?" It is in public domain, and is widely available through various DVD re-packagers and is on several compilation discs. I believe it was re-scheduled for air on January 4, 1964.
ReplyDeleteMany ABC affiliates during the 1960's (and beyond) either didn't show the Friday night programs or buried them on Sunday afternoon, figuring they could make more money on showing a movie and getting local ad money from it.
ReplyDeleteI am Bill Rosecrans, and I remember everything about Friday Afternoon, November 22, 1963 like it was yesterday. I was 39 days shy of my 5th birthday (b. December 31, 1958). My Mother, Nancy, and I were in the downstairs family room area of our house at 310 East 4th Street, Deer Park, N.Y., Suffolk County. We were seated on a Brown Futon, watching "To Tell The Truth" on a television network program from the City of New York. We were sharing the large texture style of Frito's Corn Chips from a scratched up, white tupperware bowl. It was a bright sunny day; the air temperature was around 62 degrees F. A local news bulletin interrupted the television program. Walter Kronkite then appeared from the CBS newsroom with news of a possible assassination attempt on JFK in Dallas, Texas. The "To Tell The Truth" program reappeared in progress for about one minute. Walter Kronkite reappeared from a bulletin announcement, telling the world that JFK was dead.
ReplyDeleteI was 5 years old and I was sitting in the floor of my family's livingroom at our house in Central Ohio. My mom and grandmother (who lived with us) were all watching "Father Knows Best" on ABC (it was an episode where teenage "Bud" was going on a date with an older woman). The ABC affiliate (Channel 6 WTVN out of Columbus) interrupted the show with a "BULLETIN" across the screen and a voiceover by their reporter Nick Basso announcing that "President Kennedy has been shot while riding in a motorcade in downtown Dallas, Texas." I remember turning to my mother and grandmother and asking them what a "motorcade" was and my mother said, "It's a parade of cars." It was very scary to me because it was the first time I ever remember my mother and grandmother (who was born in 1890 and remembered hearing of President McKinley being killed in 1901) crying. I will never forget that! Three days later, on Monday, November 25, my mom got me up early (I hadn't started kindergarten yet) and insisted that I watch all of the President's funeral because "it's history and history is important and I don't want you to ever forget it. Plus, you will have to study it in school." She was right on all counts!
