What's on TV? Wednesday, October 5, 1955

I may be mistaken here, but I think this is the first time we've looked an issue from Portland, Oregon, and—unlike the Northern California issues from a decade later—there are some significant differences we can see, due primarily to the time difference. For instance, the final game of the World Series at nine in the morning? Garry Moore and Arthur Godfrey as afterschool entertainment? (No wonder he stayed popular for so long!) Still, there are some things that never seem to change, including the Yankees and Dodgers in that World Series, soap operas in the morning, and a Bob Hope special in the evening. Television is television, after all, no matter the era.
