What's on TV? Saturday, October 25, 1969




An uneventful day in an uneventful week, and I suppose we should be grateful for small favors like that. Over on NBC, one of the two schools on College Bowl is the University of Minnesota at Morris, located about ten miles from the World's Worst Town™. They lost badly to Bradley, though, so I don't feel too bad about it. On the syndicated music show Upbeat (1:00 p.m., WGR), whoever edited the listings managed to misspell Lesley Gore's name, but considering the number of typos I make, I shouldn't complain too much. And on tonight's Boston Symphony concert, the narrator of Copland's "Lincoln Portrait" is Senator Ted Kennedy. I wonder when this was recorded; Chappaquiddick, after all, was only three months before. What would Honest Abe have thought?

  1. Marianna Hill, on DATING GAME, used her mother's maiden name professionally, as her actual last name was (still is) Schwarzkopf. She was a first cousin of Norman Schwarzkopf of Gulf War fame. I remember TV Guide profiled her in a story in the early 1960s called "A Schwarzkopf by Any Other Name".

  2. You should fix the call letters for channel 13 in Rochester, because those letters back then were WOKR (they are now WHAM-TV, unrelated to the radio station).
