What's on TV? Tuesday, August 5, 1986




Saturday’s piece was, in a sense, about growing old, and the TV Guide of the 1980s is not for old eyes. With cable stations being listed, there are now so many channels, with so much information, that I’ve got my magnifier on extra-large to make sure I catch it all. And among the things we see in this San Franciso Metropolitan Edition is that there are a lot more infomercials than we've seen in the past, though not as many as we will see. Along with some timeless favorites of the past, more recent series like Simon & Simon and Magnum are now included in the syndication rotation. (KOFY has a particularly strong crime lineup throughout the day.) As for this week's choices, in addition to the main stations from the Bay Area, I've also added SuperStation TBS and USA to give you a flavor from those good old days.
