What's on TV? Thursday, September 30, 1965

This is one of those days that demonstrates the accuracy of NBC's claim to be "The Full Color Network." CBS boasts of only two prime time colorcasts (My Three Sons and Gilligan's Island), while ABC's curious choice is O.K. Crackerby, co-creator Cleveland Amory's failed sitcom (17 episodes), starring Burl Ives. Who knows why—it would take someone like Dick Tracy to find out, and hopefully that's a big-enough hint to you regarding something contained in today's listings, which, as you might have figured, are from the Minnesota State Edition.

  1. You picked the date of the infamous showing of “The Notorious Landlady” on CBS. At one point they had put up the wrong reel and skipped over part of the movie. They stopped the film and after a short break the announcer did a voiceover “we were out of sequence. We now return in sequence” (not the most well written announcement). I was watching that night and remember it well.
