What's on TV? Wednesday, August 5, 1970

Back in the Big Apple, we've advance one year since we were here a couple of weeks ago. It's a slice of life from 1970; Summer Semester is beginning to study the Eisenhower years, we're hearing the other side of the story of the Pueblo incident, Vietnam and drugs are still everyday parts of the scene. The entertainment is all about the era as well.

It's not a typo on the guest list for The Mike Douglas Show - the artist formerly known as "Bobby Darin" is in his social justice phase, singing folk and protest songs. By the time of his television comeback covering the last couple of years of his life, he's back to calling himself Bobby, wearing a tux, and singing "Mack the Knife."

The movie at 10 a.m., "Slattery's Hurricane," is not a sequel to Richard Crenna's political drama Slattery's People, describing what happened when the network cancelled the series. Obviously, there weren't enough of them anyway.

Lloyd Bucher, one of the guests on Today, is the former captain of the U.S.S. Pueblo which, if you remember your history, was captured by the North Koreans in January 1968, undergoing psychological torture for almost a year before being released in December 1968. Bucher, who was nearly court-martialed over the Pueblo incident, is on the show to promote his book My Story.

In 1973 ABC Theater aired a Missiles of October-like adaptation of the story starring Hal Holbrook as Bucher; Holbrook won two Emmys for the performance, one for best actor in a drama, the other for best overall actor.

The TV Guide Close-Up comments that Ike and Tina Turner recently opened for the Rolling Stones and "practically stole the show." After their performance tonight, I suspect people were talking about the Everly Brothers appearance on the Ike and Tina Turner Show.

Earlier this year we looked at an issue of TV Guide featuring Fred Williamson, the guest on today's Dating Game. Based on Fred's comments in that issue, I'm rather surprised he's appearing on the show; after all, it's not as if he needs any help getting dates...
