What's on TV? Thursday, September 15, 1966





We looked at bit tonight's lineup during Saturday's fall preview, but now we get a chance to see things in action. It's the full-color lineup, even though color won't help some of them a bit. (We're looking at you, Tammy Grimes!) The idea of showing a theatrical movie in two parts, as is the case with The Music Man tonight and tomorrow, must seem strange to modern eyes, but it was also a sign of prestige; only the biggest movies (and the ones most guaranteed to bring in big ratings) were spread over two nights. When The Music Man is repeated a few years later, it's all in one night, which really is the way to see it. You have to make room for all those commercials, though; given the choice between watching it uncut or watching it all in one sitting, I suppose I might choose the former, myself. Anyway, these listings come from the Northern California edition.

  1. I recall when CBS aired the TV premieres of the animated movies Charlotte's Web and Watership Down, those were likewise broken down into two separate evenings. Even as a young viewer, this made little sense --Both films barely reach the 100 minute mark. Did network execs really think the kiddos' attention spans were that low? Strangely enough, they never did this to the "Peanuts" feature films.

  2. Courtesy of the 1966/67 Nielsen pocketbooks, here's how the national ratings went that night of Sept. 15, 1966:
    ABC:
    BATMAN 18.8 rating/34.8 share
    F TROOP 17.7/30.2
    TAMMY GRIMES 12.8/21/1 (it would get even worse)
    BEWITCHED 19.3/31.0
    THAT GIRL 17.6/30.0
    HAWK 13.6/26.9

    NBC:
    DANIEL BOONE 17.1/30.3
    STAR TREK 18.4/29.9
    HERO 13.7/23.4
    DEAN MARTIN 17.9/35.4

    CBS
    JERICHO 16.0/28.4
    MY THREE SONS 22.7/37.5
    THE MUSIC MAN 22.4/39.0

    ABC won from 7:30 to 8:30 ET; CBS took over after that. GRIMES and HERO were real drags on the rest of the lineup right away
