What's on TV? Saturday, June 22, 1968




As I mentioned on Saturday, today's program schedule is still being impacted by the news coverage of Robert F. Kennedy's funeral a couple of weeks ago—look at all the "Postponed from an earlier date" notices. This is most likely due not to the content of these programs; episodes with excessive violence were generally pushed off to sometime later in the year. What we're seeing here is a domino effect of sorts; since news coverage on June 8 ran throughout the day and into the evening, several episodes scheduled to run on that date were pushed to the next week, which in turn pushed those scheduled episodes to the following week. This is what I call "between the lines" history; it wasn't uncommon to see those "Postponed from an earlier date" notices from time to time, but when you have a large number of them on the same date and across the networks, that should be a clue, even to someone with no knowledge of the context, that something unexpected had happened. Of course, you wouldn't have that today, what with online programming guides, and it's little things like this that we lose in the digital era—the sense that history leaves a paper trail, especially where you least expect it. These listings come from the Northern California edition.
