What's on TV? Wednesday, September 6, 1961

At first glance, nothing seems to pop out from today's listings, but a deeper look gives us some gems. For instance, this afternoon's Science Fiction Theater features Vincent Price as a police scientist; Ian Hendry, one of the originals on The Avengers, is being blackmailed into treason on Kraft Mystery Theater; future Oscar winner Beatrice Straight is on Route 66Naked City highlights Martin Balsam as the guest star; more powerful, and more disturbing, are the turns by Frank Sutton and Robert Blake as a pair of psychopath brothers who meet a bad end; and Rhonda Fleming is "The Woman in Gray" on Hong Kong. Not bad, hmm? The listings this week are from the Utah-Idaho edition.

  1. I've seen that NAKED CITY episode w/ Sutton & Blake when it was on MeTV. They played an evil pair who ended up either dead or on death row (Maybe one for each). I can see why it was hard for Frank Sutton to go back to villainous roles after playing Sgt. Carter for so long.

    I can see that the MTZ daytime schedules are an hour behind CT, so TODAY was usually just 1 hour there. I imagine MTZ had lots of tape delays & shows on kine, since they rarely got much consideration from the East or West.
