What's on TV? Monday, December 7, 1964

I don't suppose this is the right time to wax pjlosophical about how TV was better when there were only three networks and five, at most, channels to choose from. But I'll say this much: it makes things a lot easier for yours truly when it comes time to list them all here. Each of the five Twin Cities stations had a unique personality, a distinctive style, a way of relating to viewers through their own local personalities I don't know if the programs themselves were better, but the experience certainly was.
