Paul Anka, who appears on Password this week, was a teen idol in the late '50s and '60s with a string of hits (including Johnny Carson's Tonight theme and the English lyrics for Sinatra's "My Way"), but he was also an avid guest on the Goodson-Todman game shows of the time. Anka was a very good Password player, and it's fun to see a big star doing a game show. Can you imagine Beyoncé doing something like that today?

Interesting that Channel 4 doesn't carry The Munsters at 6:30, preferring a local program on outdoor sports. Perhaps that Channel 2 program on Girls in Conflict was too much competition?

Ah, Fred and Mickie Finn. They're the husband-and-wife contestants on You Don't Say! at 2:30, and they have their own summer replacement show (for the failed Mona McCluskey), based on their successful theme-inspired nightclub. I remember that show, which was mildly amusing for a six-year-old, but in later years I'd see him without her, going by the name Mickey Finn rather than Fred. I could have sworn that Mickie was female, not male. Easy answer - divorce, and he apparently got custody of the name. But I was right - Mickie was a girl.

Don Mankiewicz, who is plugging his latest book on Today, is a brother of Frank Mankiewitz, who was Robert F. Kennedy's press aide and became head of NPR, which means he's an uncle of Ben Mankiewicz, the movie host on TCM. Don's own uncle was Joseph L. Mankiewicz, the famed Hollywood producer/director. Quite a family.

"The Breaking Point" is not to be confused with the series of the same name (well, except for "The"), which was a spinoff from Ben Casey, and starred Paul Richards and Eduard Franz. That was a pretty good show - we could use something like it on TV today.

The Rowan and Martin show you see at 9:00 is not to be confused with their show Laugh-In, which premiered a couple of years later. It's the summer replacement for Dean Martin, but there's no doubt that its success put Rowan and Martin in position for Laugh-In. TV

ReplyDeleteDid this by any chance involve mud or Jello?
"The Hideous Sun Demon" - doesn't that sound like something you'd see on MST3K?
ReplyDeleteFunny you should mention that - Rifftrax (MST3K alumni) just did that one last month.
I think I know the real reason WCCO pre-empted "The Munsters".
ReplyDeleteMaybe it couldn't compete against "Batman".
"Munsters" was cancelled in the spring of 1966. I had heard a story that the cast and producers went to England to finish work (filming on-location footage) of a full-color "Munsters" movie, and that they had expected to come back to Hollywood and after a few months' break, begin filming in color a third season of the TV show.
The story I heard was that a CBS executive intercepted the cast and producers as they got off their jet at LAX (Los Angeles International Airport) after they returned from England to tell them the show had been cancelled at the last moment, mainly due to "Batman"'s success.
It's my understanding the Thursday episode of "Batman", which went head-to-head against "Munsters" in most of the country, finished the 1965/66 TV season as the fifth most-popular prime-time network TV show of the entire season (despite a January, 1966 premiere).
The movie, "Munster Go Home", was released to theatres as scheduled, but instead of coming between Seasons Two and Three of the TV series, it served as the finale of the original "Munster" saga.
I hate to seem a scold, but ...
ReplyDelete... didn't I mention, a number of entries back, that there's a book about the Mankiewicz family, titled My Life As A Mankiewicz, by Tom Mankiewicz (son of Joseph, nephew of Frank, brother of Don, uncle of Ben, et al.), co-written by Robert Crane (son of Bob "Col. Hogan" Crane and author of his own book about same)?
I wonder sometimes if I'm making any real impression here at all ...
"The Hideous Sun Demon" has a strange reputation of its own: it's The King Family Monster Movie.
Robert Clarke, the co-producer/writer/director/star of this Klassik, was married to Alyce King, of the Sisters; another Sister, Marilyn, sang the movie's "love theme".
Clarke held on to the rights to this, and years later his son Cameron Clarke (who was a little kid in the days of The King Family show) wrote and redubbed the movie into What's Up, Hideous Sun Demon; one of the actors he used was a then-unknown stand-up comic named Jay Leno.
Not much else I can add this time out ...
Oh yes, you do make an impression! Although with the Mankiewicz family, I'll always think of Joseph and his pretentious direction of "Carol For Another Christmas" and his version of "Julius Caesar," and Frank's announcement of RFK's death.
DeleteNow The King Family Monster Movie - I've never heard of that! Notwithstanding some of the obvious jokes about the King Family show, that is something to know. And the tie-in to Jay Leno!
I don't say it often enough, but I'm in awe of you, Mike Doran! And that's no snark, either.
Actually, Walter Cronkite, not Lawrence Welk, was on the cover of the next issue (7/2/66).
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see a color recording (or even B&W kine) of Mickie Finn's. I found a little taste of their act from Hollywood Palace (unfortunately just B&W kine here) on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7m_oAKYPcGw
According to this website, the episode listed for June 30 was not shown on that date but was held until the show finale on Sept. 1, so I'm not sure which episode, if any, aired on June 30:

Actually I'm referring to my next issue - which you'll see on Saturday!
DeleteWhenever I see old TV listings like this, specifically ones that appeared after I was born (naturally) I like to guess which ones I was watching. Since I was five years old on this date I’d guess it was the CBS lineup.
ReplyDelete• “Munsters” (probably because I’d missed this episode when it originally aired, because it was up against “Batman”. Remember those days when you anticipated summer reruns because it was your ONLY chase to catch episodes you missed when they originally aired?) then “Gilligan’s Island” and maybe “My Three Sons” (though that was 8:30 EST and I may have had to go to bed. I was five after all)
Also, I see that NBC aired “Daniel Boone” on Thursday at 6:30 (7:30 my time). I don’t recall ever watching this when I was a kid. METV’s been running it for quite awhile now so I watched an episode or two. I checked online and was surprised the show ran for six seasons. All the way to 1970! I wonder, is it possible that “Daniel Boone” is the longest running show that took place in the 1700’s?
