What's on TV? Tuesday, May 23, 1961

One of the night's more interesting half-hours is CBS's Red Skelton Show, which features an all-Western guest lineup of Don "Andy Griffith" Knotts and Amanda "Gunsmoke" Blake, who star with San Ferdando Red in a skit. Considering the rest of the night's lineup, it's obvious that Red's show had to have a Western theme; ambitious viewers could make it all the way to 9:00 p.m. tonight watching nothing but Westerns: Laramie at 6:30, Wyatt Earp at 7:30, and Stagecoach West at 8:00, with as The Rifleman available as a backup. Your rootin'-tootin' lineup comes from the Minneapolis-St. Paul edition.
