What's on TV? Wednesday, November 19, 1975

I would have been a couple of months into 10th grade when this TV Guide came out, so I remember the programs pretty well. Not that I could see many of them; living in the World's Worst Town™, you recall, meant one commercial television station - Channel 7 - and Channel 10, the public broadcasting station from Appleton, which carried most, but not all, of that seen on KTCA. The way I look at it, it was spending part of my time in Purgatory here on earth. Let's see some of what I was missing, shall we?

I don't know if you think of Great Performances often, or at all, but whenever I think of it I think of opera, orchestral works, dance - things like that. But here, GP, which is a weekly rather than an occasional program, is showing the conclusion of "Jennie: Lady Randolph Churchill," with Lee Remick. Never fear; next week, Leonard Bernstein is back with the Philharmonic in Tchaikovsky's Fourth.

Later this week on Chico and the Man, Tony Orlando returns the favor with his own guest appearance: "Chico falls in love with an attractive accountant. But his overtures get a firm rejection: he is a dead ringer for her former, detested fiance." Guess who Tony plays?

Laurel and Hardy airs on Sunday morning as well as in the 6:30 p.m. timeslot, back in the days when the "local access" period wasn't simply filled with syndicated game shows and reruns of network sitcoms. Both the Sunday and Wednesday versions were hosted by John Gallos, a wonderful man who also plays Clancy the Cop at 7:30 a.m.

This week's issue features the stars of Starsky and Hutch, David Soul and Paul Michael Glaser, on the cover. What we find out is that the two are as inseperable as Siamese twins on the set, very much in unity against anything and anyone they see as a threat to the success of their show. From everything I read in the issue, they don't sound like particularly nice guys to work with. (I knew there was a reason I was never a fan of either one.)

Here's a good example of how Channel 7 fused together it's NBC/ABC affiliation: following the local variety show Welcome Inn, the remainder of the afternoon schedule consists of two programs from ABC's Saturday morning lineup - The Lost Saucer (a Sid and Marty Krofft production), The Adventures of Gilligan (the less said the better) - and the always-popular Let's Make a Deal. This was very typical of KCMT's programming at this point in time.

I checked out a video of You Don't Say!, which I had fond memories of from the mid-'60s. Even though it stil has Tom Kennedy as MC, it's sadly nowhere near the same show. I don't know, maybe some of you will prefer the new version. If so, don't say anything about it.

I love how, back in the days when you couldn't syndicate a program that was still in network first-run and use the show's title, syndicators would come up with such clever ideas. Robert Young, Family Doctor, for example - gee, I wonder what that show is? It was also done with Ironside, I believe, which resurfaced as The Raymond Burr Show or something like that. Happy Days was Happy Days Again, Wagon Train became Trailmaster, and so on.

A big week for George Peppard - tonight, CBS airs a rerun of Banacek in their late-night spot, and earlier in the evening he appeared in his own NBC series, Doctors Hospital. Of course, on Monday, he was a different kind of doctor: Dr. Sam Sheppard. TV
