What's on TV? Monday, November 1, 1965

Happy Halloween, everyone! We haven't done a Monday for awhile, so why not now? We're in Ohio, one of at least two states that can lay claim to being the Birthplace of Presidents (Virginia being the other), so it's an appropriate place to be one week before the end of the campaign that wouldn't end. There are more stations in this issue than you can shake a stick at (though why you'd want to do that is a mystery to me), so we'll concentrate on Cincinnati, Columbus and Dayton. And away we go.

The "Young Man from Boston" in the 10:00 p.m. documentary is none other than John F. Kennedy, of whom it might also be said that he was a Young Man in a Hurry.

Allan Sherman, whom we listened to last week, is all over the place today, appearing both on Today and Tonight to plug his autobiography, A Gift of Laughter. (He was also a guest on last night's Sullivan show, and for all I know there might be more.) Sadly, his career was now on the downside, which is truly unfortunate. He was a very funny man.

I never fail to be impressed by programs like Hullabaloo that are able to cram so many acts into a single half-hour. Lesley Gore sings "My Town, My Guy and Me"; I don't know if it was supposed to be ironic or not.

Ben Casey features a rare dramatic performance by Dick Clark, as a dedicated young doctor who returns from Africa with a mysterious ailment nobody seems able to diagnose. The episode has one of the more pretentious titles from an era in which pretentious titles were the norm: "Then I, and You, and All of Us Fell Down."

Here's another station with split affiliation. The programming seems to be about evenly split between CBS and NBC; this is about as well-divided a lineup as I've seen in some time.

Someone else who's all over the airwaves today is Otto Preminger. He's on first with Art Linkletter on House Party, and later in the afternoon with Mike Douglas. Earlier in October his latest movie Bunny Lake is Missing had been released; maybe that was it.

I enjoy checking out the local programs of the era when I can - Luci's Toyshop (9:00 a.m.) ran on WBNS from 1961 to 1972. when so many local kids' shows left the air, thanks to so many of the do-gooders trying to reform that kind of programming.
