What's on TV? Sunday, December 12, 1965




It's hard to imagine a more normal Sunday than today; three football games in the morning and afternoon, and some entertainment in prime time. Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea has a plotline that sounds like it borrowed from Fail-Safe, as the men of the Seaview try to figure out why an unmanned, remote-controlled submarine has malfunctioned, heading toward New York with all missiles armed and ready. Meanwhile, Efrem Zimbalist Jr. and Stephen Brooks try to head off a mad bomber who threatens to blow up a passenger train unless he's given $100,000. And on Amos Burke, Secret Agent, Burke and his fellow agents are in trouble. Kind of vague there, but at the end of the day I suspect all three of these stories will have happy endings, don't you? Today's listings are from the Northern California edition.
