What's on TV? Sunday, February 2, 1969

How many of you, besides Mike Doran, remember My Friend Tony? (10:00 p.m., NBC) I must confess that, until I saw a few episodes of it pop up on YouTube last year, I had never heard of it. No memory whatsoever, not even of having run across it in Brooks and Marsh's Complete Guide to Prime Time Network TV Shows, and I used to browse through that just for fun; I can assure you that doesn't happen very often. At any rate, James Whitmore stars as John Woodruff, a criminologist assisted by Tony, who was a street urchin in Italy during WW2 (where he met Woodruff while trying to pick his pocket) and later emigrated to America. Sixteen episodes; I watched a few minutes of it last month and was not impressed. But hopefully you'll be impressed by the rest of this lineup from the Northern California edition.
