What's on TV? Wednesday, May 5, 1965

I'm sure I've commented on this in the past, but then after so many years at this, you kind of run out of new things to say. I can't help but notice, though, how different daytime programming is today as opposed to the classic era we look at here. We know that soap operas and game shows have virtually disappeared (there remain three of the former and two of the latter), and that news/entertainment programs have expanded (ABC's Good Morning America now has a one-hour afternoon segment, while NBC's entire daytime schedule consists of four hours of Today and one hour of NBC News); meantime, the rest of the time has been returned to affiliates. But what do they show? Are there any local stations, for instance, running movies in the morning or afternoon? Most of what I see are local "news" shows, reality shows, talk shows, infomercials, and sitcom reruns. Children's shows are long since gone, as are local variety programs, educational programs, non-sitcom reruns, exercise shows, or, really, anything of substance. If you read through the listings from this week's Northern California edition, you'll see what I mean. Not that I'm saying things were better then—or am I?
