What's on TV? Tuesday, October 3, 1967

Yes, it's a return to the Minnesota State Edition of TV Guide this week. and the listings you'll be seeing come from the Twin Cities and Duluth, with one-station markets Alexandria and Mankato thrown in to round things out. It's not a spectacular day of television, but one that I enjoyed reviewing nonetheless. Hopefully, you'll feel the same way.

A pretty routine programming day on KTCA, which took very seriously the mission of "educational" television. We probably could use a few more of them nowadays.

A measure of how talk shows have changed over the years: Orville Freeman, Secretary of Agriculture during the JFK and LBJ administrations, is one of Mike Douglas' guests. Now, I've met Orville Freeman. We didn't agree politically, but he was a nice, decent man. He was formerly governor of Minnesota. And there is no way you can make a case for his entertainment value. He would be a miserable failure with Jimmy Kimmel or Jimmy Fallon. He was a "serious" guest. Do they exist on talk shows anymore?

According to the TV Guide, tonight's Red Skelton show marks the first time Red and Bert Lahr (the Cowardly Lion in The Wizard of Oz and a longtime comic actor) have ever performed together. That would have been like going to a baseball banquet and finding out it was the first time Hank Aaron and Mickey Mantle had ever appeared together. It doesn't compute.

It's always odd to see The Hollywood Squares without Paul Lynde, but of course he wasn't one of the regulars when the show started, and Charley Weaver and Wally Cox did quite nicely without him. Of course, once Lynde became a regular, the show reached another level.

I've probably mentioned this before, but I don't really have anything to add to KCMT other than to note the late afternoon block from 3:30 to 5:30 when, with the exception of the local variety show Welcome Inn, the ABC part of the affiliation appears. General Hospital and The Dating Game every day, and a different ABC morning cartoon at 4:30.

I would never have thought of Gypsy Rose Lee as host of her own program - at least, not anything that could be shown on home television - but her talk show was, in fact, quite passable. Here's a clip of an interview she did with Ethel Merman.

According to the always-reliable Wikipedia, Everybody's Talking, the game show ABC aired at 11:00 a.m., was, along with The Family Game, "the last American daytime television program aired in Black and White," as the networks converted to all-color in September. It premiered in February, but apparently not enough people were talking about it, as it went off the air at the end of the year.

I think I've shared TV listings where WTCN showed part of The Woody Woodbury Show in late-night and the rest of the show the following morning. This appears to be a time at which they decided to show the entire show all in one shot.
