What's on TV? Thursday, August 18, 1966

That article about game shows that we were looking at on Saturday got me thinking about the daytime network schedules in general. You'll notice that NBC has the most game shows, CBS the fewest. Perhaps not surprisingly, NBC also has fewer soap operas than the other two, a number that got smaller during the summer when Chain Letter and Showdown replaced Morning Star and Paradise Bay, respectively. What the Peacock Network doesn't have is a block of primetime reruns, unlike CBS and ABC, which each have two-hour blocks. ABC generally starts their daytime schedule later than the other two by at least an hour, but they also run later in the afternoon, with Where the Action Is. It's quite different from today's network schedules, but I'll leave that to you as to whether or not that's a good thing. The listings come from Northern California.
