The Edge of Night was, as I've mentioned in the past, the only soap that had a majority male audience, due to its emphasis on crime and courtroom drama (it was actually a spinoff from the radio version of Perry Mason), and also because it traditionally had a late afternoon timeslot. By 1974, it had been moved to early in the afternoon (it would leave CBS next year), and the beneficiary was the raunchy Match Game and the celebrity Tattletales, always a fun combo.

That's the quintessential NBC daytime schedule you see there: game shows in the morning, soap operas in the afternoon. Speaking of which, I sometimes forget about the nighttime version of The Hollywood Squares, which was very successful both on the network and in syndication. Wally Cox, one of the original regular panelists, died last year, and Cliff Arquette, aka Charley Weaver, died the week before this show was broadcast, leaving Paul Lynde, who was not one of the originals, the last - and probably most memorable - of the original Squares.

As I've mentioned before, the CBS Morning News aired for many years on the Twin Cities' ABC affiliate, as Channel 4 was the only local station to still run children's programming. The ABC Wednesday Movie of the Week was dedicated to made-for-TV movies, and tonight's "world premiere" is no exception. "Death Sentence" tells the story of a woman on a jury who comes to suspect that the guilty party is not the defendant, but her husband! If you find this happening to you sometime in the near future, he's the movie so you can tell how you might handle it.

When cable TV finally came to The World's Worst Town™ in 1977, one of the first programs I latched onto was Merv Griffin. I'd seen it in the CBS version back in the day so I certainly knew who he was, but I didn't really get to appreciate him until watching the syndicated version on Channel 11. Channel 11 also carried The Andy Griffith Show, and really they could have saved time on the schedule by running this version.

Today KTCI carries a full 24 hours of programming, but in 1974 it had a very limited schedule, consisting mostly of reruns from its parent station, KTCA. TV
That pacing for "Death Sentence" is just that!
ReplyDeleteGreat cast and 1974 was a good year for Cloris.
I believe Jeopardy at 12:30 on WTCN was punted over from KSTP.
