As Stanley Frank mentioned on Saturday, the networks start their special programming early on Thanksgiving, and in come cases it's even earlier when you're dealing with the Northern California edition. It all begins at 7:00 a.m., with CBS's parade coverage from four cities: New York, with Mike Douglas and Bess Myerson reporting on the Macy's parade; Philadelphia, with Jack Linkletter and former Miss America Marilyn Van Derbur covering the Gimbel's parade; Detroit's J.L. Hudson parade, where Kukla, Fran (Allison) and Ollie do the honors; and Toronto, for taped coverage of Eaton's Santa Claus Parade, with Arthur Godfrey and Beth Brickell. That was always my favorite of the parade shows. If you're only interested in one parade, however, NBC has the Macy's parade, shown on the West Coast on a two-hour tape delay, with Lorne Greene and Betty White back again for the hosting duties.
We're certainly not lacking for football, which is how it should be on Thanksgiving. At 9:00 a.m., the Los Angeles Rams take on the Lions in Detroit's traditional Thanksgiving game, part one of CBS's NFL doubleheader; I'm afraid the Lions don't put up much of a fight, losing to the Rams 31-7. Over on NBC, the AFL is playing its own Thanksgiving doubleheader for the first time, and it starts in Kansas City with the Chiefs and their own traditional Turkey Day classic, this year against their bitter rivals, the Oakland Raiders (11:00 a.m., Raiders 44, Chiefs 22). And ABC's in on the act as well, with yet another Thanksgiving tradition, as the Oklahoma Sooners travel to Nebraska to play the Cornhuskers (12:00 p.m., Oklahoma 21, Nebraska 14). At 2:00 p.m., NBC's AFL doubleheader concludes in San Diego, with the Chargers hosting the Denver Broncos, and defeating then 24-20. All these games are live, but the second half of the CBS-NFL doubleheader is not. Dallas's traditional game, this year against the St. Louis Cardinals, actually kicks off at 6:00 p.m. ET, but because it's a big part of CBS's primetime, it's being shown at 6:00 p.m. PT, a three-hour tape delay. It's not as if fans were left with nothing to watch, but it's a good thing the Internet didn't exist back in 1967; it's likely viewers won't find out in advance that the Cowboys win, 46-21.
For those not into parades and pigskin, you'll still find festive family favorites. At 3:00 p.m. on KOVR, Bremen Town Musicians relates the fairy tale about an overworked donkey who wants to become a musician. At 4:30 p.m. on KRON, A Light Here Kindled presents a re-enactment of the Pilgrims landing at Plymouth Rock in 1620. The Rufus Rose Marionettes present Washington Irving's classic Rip Van Winkle (7:30 p.m., KLOC). The seasonal programs aren't limited to specials; on a first-run Bewitched (8:30 p.m., ABC), Aunt Clara transports the Stephenses back to the first Thanksgiving, where Darrin is accused of being a witch. That's followed at 9:00 p.m. by That Girl, where Ann tries to cook Thanksgiving dinner for her parents and Don. Do you have to ask how that turns out? Let's just hope your Thanksgiving is a better one!
