What's on TV? Tuesday, October 8, 1968

The movie ratings system will be introduced to the public on Friday, November 1, and in anticipation of the event, MPAA boss (and former LBJ aide) Jack Valenti is making the TV rounds, which probably explains his appearances on Today and Tonight. He probably would have been on Tomorrow as well, except it hasn't started yet. Instead, you'll have to settle for seeing Tom Snyder on KYW's Contact. Is it better than Rip Taylor on It's Happening? You'll have to be the judge, after you've gone through these listings from Philadelphia.
