What's on TV? Sunday, April 11, 1965




Baseball season starts on Monday, and one of the most interesting programs on this Sunday is Requiem for an Arena on KGO (watch here), a documentary on the legendary Polo Grounds in New York, which was torn down last year. What makes it even better is that it's narrated by Horace McMahon, who played Mike Parker in that great tribute to New York City itself, Naked City. And why is this of interest to those in the area of this Northern California edition? Because the primary tenant of the Polo Grounds was the New York Giants, prior to their move to San Francisco in 1958.

  2. I want to see White Collar Farmer. Sounds like the perfect title for the pilot for Green Acres.

    No Lamp Unto My Feet or Look Up and Live on CBS stations, so maybe they were pre-empted or were on an alternating schedule?

    This was also the day of the deadly Palm Sunday tornadoes that ripped across the Midwest.
