I've mentioned before that sometimes the most interesting things are hidden in the details; I'd like to think that it's more than just an excuse to talk about things that only interest me, and we'll test that this week. For instance, you'll note that Walter Cronkite is off the noontime news this week, and John Daly is also missing from ABC's evening news. They're accompanying President Eisenhower on his trip to Europe and the Middle East, "the most extensive foreign tour ever undertaken by an American chief executive." And then there's Art Linkletter's guest on House Party, Dr. Carlton Williams. The topic of the day's show is the flouride controversy, and if you think this has to do with different ways of fighting tooth decay, then it's time to introduce you to the Communist plot to use fluoride as a mass tranquilizer. It's worth looking into further, but I'm not sure we're ready to drag the John Birch Society into this discussion. Maybe next week. As for this week, the listings are from the Minnesota State Edition.

It's my understanding that Red Skelton's show was occasionally broadcast in color from 1955 until 1965, when it went color every week.
ReplyDeleteSkelton was said to have bee very enthusiastic abiut about color TV.
I've heard the same on both those points. With that red hair, I can understand why!
