Xne of the things I notice in these older TV Guides is the sheer number of programs that used to be on. Almost all of the daytime shows are a half-hour, and a couple of the soaps on CBS are still 15 minutes long. Then there are the five-minute news updates, and the programs like The Children's Doctor and Doctor's House Call. Add in the 10 half-hour shows in primetime, including two half-hour dramas, and compared to today, or even to the 1980s, it makes for a long list of programs. (Though not as long as the listings from the 1950s, when it seems like everything was 15 minutes long.) Now, the remaining soaps are an hour, the remaining game shows are an hour, local news programs are at least an hour, and Today is what, eight hours long now? But then, since just about everything we consume has been super-sized, why should TV shows be any different? Your lengthy listings come from the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul.
