What's on TV? Sunday, January 19, 1969

Well, here we are back in Philly again, back-to-back weeks. (I'll bet these two issues came from the same lot.) The professional football season finally comes to an end, with both leagues playing their all-star games, one week after the Jets' titanic Super Bowl upset of the Colts. If you're not in the mood for pigskin, there's also hockey, and if you want something a little brainerer, you can check out G-E College Bowl. Let's see what else there is.

The AFL All-Star Game is being held in Jacksonville; no AFL team exists there, but I suspect the game is being used as a stalking horse to test the area's viability for a future franchise. They got one, decades later.

Since the college football season ended on January 1, I can only think that the college football highlights at 3:00 p.m. are either from the bowl games, or from the various all-star games that still played a role in college football before the flood of televised games and scouting combines that exist today.

The NFL Pro Bowl comes to us live from Los Angeles, where it was usually played before it was moved to Hawaii. Back in 1969, the all-stars took this game far more seriously than they do today.

The legendary columnist and television personality Irv Kupcinet's television show, based out of Chicago, ran from 1959 to 1986 and was nationally syndicated. The running time for tonight's show was three hours; the late Carol Channing could probably have filled most of that time herself.
