Channel 2 has a limited programming schedule during the summer, while school is out. You can see the seeds of PBS' very successful daytime children's programming, what with Mister Rogers, Sesame Street, and The Electric Company. In the evening there was Evening at Pops and Jean Shepherd's America. Those were the days, weren't they?

For some reason, Channel 4 chose to pass up CBS' Thursday Night Movie, "The FBI Story: Alvin Karpis" in favor of its own movie, "The Lion." Not sure why this was, as the material itself couldn't have been particularly objectionable. I'd have to look at some additional listings from this part of 1975 to see if it was a regular practice by WCOO; likely it had something to do with increasing their own ad revenue.

Gladys Knight and the Pips was, as I mentioned Saturday, part of a trend among the networks to substitute several limited series for one long summer replacement. Next week, Gladys will be replaced by an equally limited-run series starring Ben Vereen, a really great entertainer and Tony Award winner who won't become really well-known to the viewing public until his unforgettable performance as Chicken George in Roots.

"Smile, Jenny, You're Dead" is the pilot for Harry-O, which normally airs in part of that time slot. It's ironic that two of David Janssen's series after The Fugitive were called Harry-O and O'Hara, don't you think? Or maybe not.

What kind of deal did WTCN and KTCA have where they both ran NEW ZOO REVUE?
ReplyDeleteA good question. My memory tells me that New Zoo Revue was syndicated, which would explain how it wound up on WTCN. But KTCA? I know from reading the old issues that educational channels occasionally aired syndicated commercial programming, but I have no personal memory of it myself. At this point KTCA is starting to pick up more of the NET schedule, which does make this interesting. Perhaps one of our other readers will know more?

DeleteWhy in the world would the PBS station air New Zoo Review at 8:30 p.m.? That's late for a show for little kids.
DeleteFor those who wonder who Bob Monkhouse is (in the listing for Hollywood Squares), he was the host of the British version, Celebrity Squares. (He's done about as many British game shows as Bill Cullen has in the US)
ReplyDeleteA game show host's game show host, in other words. Thanks for the additional info! Kind of like when Eamonn Andrews would appear on the American version of What's My Line?
DeleteBob Monkhouse was one of England's most popular comedy stars for many years, at least on a par with the Goons, Benny Hill, and Morecambe & Wise.
DeleteHe started out in variety, moved on to radio and TV, and did the occasional movie as well.
When GB started using comedians as game show hosts, Monkhouse was at the forefront (he also hosted the British Family Fortunes - or Feud if you will).
Around this same time, Monkhouse did a syndicated variety show called Bonkers!, which headlined the Hudson Brothers; this was his attempt to crack the US, as Benny Hill had around the same time (it didn't go, but that wasn't his doing; he got the best reviews).
Not long before his passing a few years back, Bob Monkhouse was feted by his fellows in British comedy for his years as an all-rounder in the business.
This was his big quote of the night:
"You know, people used to laugh when I told them I was going to be a comedian.
Well, they're not laughing now!"
I see that ch. 9 was tape-delaying You Don't Say, opting to air the syndicated To Tell the Truth at 3 p.m. I supposed they continued doing this when You Don't Say was replaced by The Edge of Night? If so, that's a shame; stations not airing Edge in its late-afternoon time slot really hurt the show's chances of success.
