What's on TV? Thursday, August 15, 1963

Today's is a pretty typical lineup for a Thursday in the dog days of Minnesota's summer.   There's not a lot to add from a local angle (which I hate, because it's always great to go trolling in the memory banks) but that doesn't mean there aren't some memories to be had here, so let's go right to the programming.
