What's on TV? Tuesday, February 16, 1960

On of the interesting things about tonight's prime time schedule - perhaps the most interesting thing - is the weakness of CBS's early evening lineup. The network has nothing scheduled for 6:30 p.m., which is very unusual for this era, and follows that up at 7:00 with The Dennis O'Keefe Show, carried by only one of the four CBS affiliates in our area. By 7:30 it's back to normal with Dobie Gillis, carried by three of the four, but I don't think I've seen that much bleeding on a CBS schedule with this many affiliates to choose from. Not that interesting, perhaps, but the kind of item that ought to appeal to TV nerds like us.

  1. Was stunned that Johnny Rivers was a guest on "American Bandstand" in February of 1960, as his first hit record didn't occur until 1964.

    1. His first hit was a cover of the late-Chuck Berry hit "Memphis," which peaked at #2 during the weeks of July 11 and July 18, 1964. The Beach Boys (I Get Around) and Frankie Valli and the 4 Seasons (Rag Doll) kept that song going to number one on the Billboard Hot 100.

  2. "THE DENNIS O'KEEFE SHOW", sponsored by Oldsmobile, was placed in a BAD time period: Tuesdays at 8pm(et), with nothing scheduled nationally before it came on. Affiliate clearance was somewhat weak, and the series was cancelled that June. CBS continued to have problems scheduling shows in that time period for the next five years..................
