What's on TV? Tuesday, April 30, 1974

I don't know much about the Burt Bacharach special airing on WCCO at 8:30 p.m., but it has all the earmarks of being a non-network (i.e., syndicated) special: the lack of any ad, not being labeled as a special, and its very presence on WCCO, which was known for pre-empting network shows in favor of programming like this. In fact, a little interweb research tells us that it's Another Evening with Burt Bacharach, first shown in 1970 as an episode of The Kraft Music Hall, and originally made for British TV. The NBC special Love from A to Z, with Liza Minnelli and Charles Aznavour, on opposite Burt, is very much new, however, and as you can see, it's very good.
