What's on TV? Sunday, December 27, 1964

Today's listing gives us an opportunity to really appreciate what television was like nearly 60 years ago. Every so often this happens, when we have an unusual number of programs available either on DVD, streaming, or YouTube. For instance, from the Minneapolis-St. Paul issue, we have Car 54, Where Are You?, What's My Line?, Harbor Command, My Favorite Martian, Bonanza, The Rogues, Bullwinkle, Men of Annapolis, Profiles in Courage, The Roaring '20s, Surfside 6, 87th Precinct, The West Point Story, several movies—they're all out there, in whole or in part, for anyone looking for them. Depending on where you live, there might have been other shows on that are just as available.

You might like to know the titles of these episodes. Well, I don't have time to get them now, but I'll check them out and get back to you.
