What's on TV? Saturday, November 1, 1969

You'll notice that at 5:30 p.m., WCVB is airing It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, which didn't air the previous week when it was shown by the rest of the CBS affiliates. (The station was showing the movie Bus Stop.) I say this because it is now November 1; Halloween was yesterday, which is a bit like showing Rudolph or Frosty on December 28; it loses something in the translation. Perhaps this is one of those cases where they should have thought twice before pre-empting The Great Pumpkin for a two-hour movie. The listings, in case you haven't already figured it out, are from the Eastern New England edition.
