What's on TV? Saturday, May 9, 1964

We may be going back 60 years here, but it's impressive how many of these programs we can still watch today. It's a feast for classic TV fans, really: Tennessee Tuxedo, Supercar, The Alvin Show, Sky King, Rin Tin Tin, Quick Draw McGraw, The Defenders, Gunsmoke, Riverboat, Tightrope!, Fireball XL-5, Dennis the Menace, Fury, Bullwinkle, Soldiers of Fortune, The Lieutenant, The Joey Bishop Show, Wire Service, 26 Men, Ripcord, Mr. Lucky, Naked City, Sea Hunt, Range Rider, Captain Gallant—these series have all had at least some of their episodes, if not the complete series, released on DVD or available on YouTube. You can go through this entire issue and find more examples—Combat!, The Fugitive, Route 66, Burke's Law—but as far as this Saturday from the Minneapolis-St. Paul edition, you could (with the exception of sports and local programs) replicate a great deal of what was on, including the movies. Remarkably well-documented, don't you think?
