What's on TV? Friday, June 13, 1980




There's a space-filler box with "Vital Statistics" in today's listing that tells us, "Cable systems now offer their subscribers a maximum of 36 channels. However, some companies are presently testing a 54-channel system." Can you imagine? This will keep viewers happy forever! We don't have 54 channels in this Memphis issue, but we do have an example of how many stars have "friends." You can see Carol Burnett and Friends in the picture above; there's also Bugs Bunny and Friends, and in other issues we've seen Fred Flintstone and Friends, Tom & Jerry and Friends, etc., etc. Most of the time, it's just an excuse to put together a mashup of different cartoons with recognizable names in the title; with Carol Burnett, I suppose it's a matter of coming up with a title suitable for syndication. (Hard to believe those same Carol Burnett episodes have been rotating around for more than 40 years under the same title, although MeTV thankfully introduced some early episodes a few years ago.) Here are your shows from the end of the week; have at it.

  1. Something I Noticed:
    It's June, so we're in rerun season.
    ABC's Friday Night Movie is "Panic At Lake Wood Manor", from three years earlier.
    Curiosity won out, so I looked it up.
    In 1977, this TV-movie aired under its original title - "Ants!"
    This was the Gilded Age of Disaster Flicks in all media: they had casts that were roll calls of familiar faces from past and present, economical special effects, and lots of fun for adolescents of all ages.
    When I looked this up, there was a surprise in the midst of the roll call: playing the owner of Lake Wood Manor - Myrna Loy.
    Honest - Nora Charles her own self, 72 at the time of filming, and obviously game for anything (even a paycheck movie like this).
    "Ants!" can be found on an old DVD at Amazon - and I just ordered it! (My curiosity knows few bounds, even at my advanced age.)
    That was what I noticed at first glance; maybe I'll go back and look for more ...
