What's on TV? Sunday, November 10, 1974




It's Veterans Day as you read this, and one of the smarter things the government did in recent decades was to exempt today from the Uniform Monday Holiday Act. In 1974, however, that was not the case, and Veterans Day would have been commemorated on the fourth Monday of October, in this case October 28. That has nothing to with today's listing, though, which has a little something for every sports fan: doubleheader football, a couple of basketball games, Boston Bruins hockey, and, since the World Series is over, a look at the 1957 Series on PBS's classic sports show, The Way It Was. If you overlook the fact that this spells the end of the weekend, it's a fine day for everyone, and the listing come from the Eastern New England edition.

  1. 1974 was the first year that I remember having Veteran's Day off school on Nov. 11 instead of 4th Monday of October. My dad still had Oct. 28 off for Veteran's Day, and he was working while the rest of us were home, so my mom took advantage of the situation by getting our family's first cat (at least in my lifetime) on this day 50 years ago today. Dad barely tolerated our black cat, Inkspot (a.k.a. Inky), at first, but eventually he became somewhat fond of Inky & others for the rest of their lives.

    Of all the programs I see from today, I'm most interested in SONNY COMEDY REVUE, which I thought ABC had already cancelled by this time. I figure Ed McMahon was there for comedy, Smokey Robinson for music, and Loretta Swit for both.

  2. You have WTNH Channel 8 listed as PBS instead of ABC.
