What's on TV? Tuesday, July 10, 1962

On Saturday, we discussed, at what was probably excessive length, the feature attraction of the day, baseball's All-Star Game; surely, however, there are other things to attract our attention. So let's take a look at The Verdict Is Yours, which ran on CBS for five seasons, starting in 1957. It must be one of the more unusual daytime dramas on a network: a 30-minute courtroom drama, using real lawyers and judges, with the defendants and witnesses being played by actors ad-libbing their lines from an outline. Not only that, but the court reporter was played first by Jim McKay (before heading to Wide World of Sports and greatness), then newsman Bill Stout, and, this week, CBS sportscaster Jack Whittaker. That's the kind of courtroom show we need today! And you read about it here, in the Eastern New England edition.
