What's on TV? Tuesday, August 22, 1967

There was really only one choice to look at this week; tonight is part one of the two-part Fugitive finale. I mentioned this on Saturday, but it bears repeating: holding back the final episode until the very end of the show's run, after the summer reruns, is brilliant. Yes, I know that it may have been an accident, that once the decision to end the series had been made, there wasn't time to write a final episode before the summer; still, felix culpa, happy fault. It's clearly the highlight of this week, probably one of the greatest highlights of any summer season. Not, however, that there's nothing else to watch—just see for yourself. The listings, as you might have known, are from the Twin Cities.

John Gunther was one of the 20th Century's great sociopolitical historians, a foreign correspondent who wrote a series of "inside" books looking at the political, social, and business climates of each continent. The Lost City, which he discusses on tonight's Book Beat, covers his years in Vienna between the world wars. His most famous work is Death Be Not Proud, the story of his son, Johnny, who died of a brain tumor at the age of 17; it was made into a TV-movie in 1975, with Arthur Hill as Gunther, Jane Alexander as his wife, and Robby Benson as Johnny.

Dr. Renatus Hartogs is Merv Griffin's guest this morning; they're likely discussing Hartog's recent book The Two Assassins, on what drove Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Ruby to murder. It sounds like an interesting book. It's a sure bet this didn't come up.

Strange, isn't it, to think of Burgess Meredith guest hosting on Today? Actually, it probably wouldn't be nearly as strange today, considering the show's mostly showbiz anyway.

You know, that lineup on ABC isn't bad; there may well be a few of you out there who have all of the episodes that were shown that night. ABC may have had a reputation for being a third-place network in the ratings, but in retrospect we see there was some real quality. I'll bet people who look at it today imagine the network was much more popular than it actually was at the time.

Ariane Sheppard, one of Virginia Graham's guests at 3:00 p.m., is the second wife of Dr. Sam Sheppard, who'd been acquitted the previous year in the famous retrial for the murder of his first wife. Fun fact: her sister, Magda, is better known as the wife of Joseph Goebbels. Small world, isn't it? TV
