This week's international issue reminds us that the United States and Canada aren't all that different, at least when it comes to television. Sunday features pro football, just as it is south of the border. And a good many American programs make the lineup on both CBC and CTV. No matter which way you look at it, it spells entertainment. This week's issue covers Washington and British Columbia, with Ted Turner's Superstation thrown in as part of the bargain.

What's on TV? Sunday, September 14, 1980
This is your lucky day: since Saturday's postponed issue debuted earlier this morning, you're getting two for the price of one today. And this week's international issue reminds us that the United States and Canada aren't all that different, at least when it comes to television. Sunday features pro football, just as it is south of the border. And a good many American programs make the lineup on both CBC and CTV. No matter which way you look at it, it spells entertainment.

What's on TV? Tuesday, July 5, 1966
Someone once wrote that travel broadens the mind, and that's why I always enjoy visiting a new area via TV Guide—in this case, the Eastern Washington edition. Our home base for the week is Spokane, although the reach is as far as Idaho and Oregon. I wish there was time for me to delve into the television history of these different areas; I know more about some of them than others, but never as much as I'd like. Many of you have been good enough to chip in with your memories, and I hope you continue to do so. For all that, though, looking through the network programs, combined with things like local movies, just goes to show, as Roddy McDowall found out in The Twilight Zone, "People are alike all over."
