What's on TV? Thursday, March 4, 1965




Tonight Perry Como takes his Kraft Music Hall Americana road show to Boston for a live telecast from the new Boston War Memorial Auditorium, now known as the Hynes Convention Center. Once Perry stepped down from the weekly grind of hosting Music Hall, the show returned as a monthly series of specials, held in different parts of the country. Dating back to 1963, the show was staged live from cities including Pittsburgh, San Francisco, Dallas, New Orleans, Minneapolis, Chicago, and even Burbank. I know we don't have variety shows anymore, but it would be nice to see the country like this again; I think some of the late-night shows have gone on the road from time to time, usually to team up with some other event, like the Super Bowl, being carried on the network. Of course, Carson used to take The Tonight Show to California for a couple of weeks while he was still based in New York, but it would be nice to see some occasional on-location shows from American landmarks. I mentioned that this show was live, but because we're looking at the Northern California issue this week, it's being shown on tape-delay. These listings are certainly live, though!

  1. These listings are from Thursday, March 4, 1965. March 9 was the following Tuesday. HAZEL was beginning its last month of original shows on NBC, with the original Baxters, George & Dorothy, tonight.

    THE BAILEYS OF BALBOA on CBS is included in Bart Andrews' book of THE WORST TV SHOWS OF ALL TIME. It was produced by CBS President Jim Aubrey's friend, Keefe Braselle. Aubrey had just been fired at CBS the month before, partly due according to Andrews to having gotten his friend Braselle 3 pilots on CBS that fall, all of which ended up flopping.
