Movie – “Ellery Queen, Master
Detective”
|
|
Yes, this is back in the day when baseball's All Star Game was played in the afternoon. It was just a year or two before that there was not one, but two All Star Games each year (you'll be reading about that in a couple of weeks), and back then the game really mattered. There was no interleague play, few interleague trades, and a real sense of rivalry between the two. Besides, there wasn't that much on TV, so if you lived in an American League city as I did, it was one of your few opportunities outside of the World Series to see the National League.

Politics
’64 – GOP Convention Preview
|
|
ABC, like NBC, has preview coverage of the Republican National Convention, which begins next week. The outcome of the convention isn't known for sure, although Barry Goldwater is the presumptive nominee, and the party platform still matters. Boy, how things have changed. I may or may not be right on this, but if memory serves Lisa Howard, anchor of the 1:55pm news update, was the first woman to anchor a network news program, even if it was only five minutes long.

One
Step Beyond
|
|
WTCN starts late in the morning, as befits an independent station of the time. Pretty good syndicated lineup; I particularly like the midnight showing of One Step Beyond. A perfect time for that show. TV
Remember that post of a few weeks back, in which I beefed a little about how my comments might not be getting through to you?
ReplyDeleteYou just gave me a prime example.
I put up a comment just a few days ago about the Donald O'Connor show, stating that it was a special. In my haste to post, I missed the part of the listing that said that the show originally aired on CBS in 1960.
I further stated that this was part of CBS's "summer replacement" for the just-cancelled Garry Moore: i.e., a string of one-shot specials that included shows with Esther Williams, Henry Fonda, Keefe Brasselle, Meredith Willson, and a now-legendary comedy revue called The Nut House, produced by Jay Ward of Rocky & Bullwinkle fame, fully three years before Laugh-In.
OK, that's a little more detailed than my original comment (I had time to go back and check more stuff) - but you did reply to the second part of the overall comment ... and that makes me wonder ...
I'll note in passing that the ABC pre-election special aired on the network just after the 10:00 news, at a quarter after the hour; channel 9 delayed it to post midnight.
This was the year that channel 7, the Chicago ABC affiliate, sent Frank Reynolds (who was ch7's principal anchor at the time) and Hugh Hill (the station's chief political correspondent) to the national political conventions. Whether this was the idea of Elmer Lower (who was running ABC News) or Red Quinlan (ch7's general manager and an ABC vice-president) in unclear, but it doesn't matter, does it? Frank Reynolds sufficiently impressed the ABC brass that his network future was assured - although it wasn't made official until the following year.
Not much I can add ... at least here.
But did you see my comment at The Senator post?
You might want to take a look at that one ... just askin', is all ...
