RETRO: NYC Metro - Monday, Nov. 10, 1969 (Coming Up)

The significance of this date will come as details envelop. Let's just say the main significance goes by the initials "S.S."

WB:
Unless I'm reading something wrong, You seem to have a Monday morning Schedule mixed with a Saturday afternoon Schedule..You might want to look at it..

Looks like you already have..

42 years ago today, "Sesame Street" went on the air. And in New York City, WPIX showed "Sesame Street" at 9AM, as CTW did not want the show against "Captain Kangaroo" on CBS, and WNDT (WNET) was unable to let go an hour of in-school television (though they did show "Sesame Street" in the afternoon).

Anyway, here's Part 1, pertaining to the New York VHF's, all revised and corrected.

Funny that when Bewitched reruns were first seen in daytime on ABC, all episodes, even those that were in color, were broadcast in black and white, even though all of ABC's daytime lineup was already full-color? Why was that?

on WOR-TV it only lasted about a year]

Also, the Chicago version was there from opening bell to closing bell, while the WOR version was only two hours, wrapping up while the stock market was still in progress.

In reference to Sesame Street, I think WPIX started showing it the next day, on a day-delay basis, to allow WNDT to show the program first.

Apparently, from what I can gather, WPIX's airings began three weeks after the premiere; as of March 31, 1970, I noticed that Channel 11 aired Episode #086 while WNDT/13 was running Episode #101.

That would've come as a surprise to TV Guide, if based on that terminology - or euphemism, if you will - they used in this case. They've had quite a few doozies in their listings over the years. In fact, some of the listings here came directly from the various newspapers, especially the WOR-TV lineup. (TVG had Circus, Circus, Circus on at 3:30, and a syndicated show hosted by "Cousin Brucie" Morrow at 5, but by the time of the date in question they were running what you saw here. With a net loss of a half-hour for their Stock Market Observer. What's more, the Daily News had an ad for Mad, Mad Movie.) This is why, on my retro postings, you (and everybody else) see multiple source references due to the contradictions inherent. The out-of-area papers are valuable to flesh out the numerous movie show titles (especially, if available, for the Connecticut movie show umbrellas).

The WNDT, WLIW and WNYE school TV listings came from the New York Post; the rest of WLIW's programming, from The Times; and WATR's local (non-NBC) programming, from the Meriden Journal and Record. (It wasn't until mid-to-late 1970 that WLIW listings showed up in TVG.)

3:30p Adventures of Superman - "The Stolen Costume" [original airdate 12/12/52]

Click to expand...

Based on a story heard in 1948 on Mutual Radio's Adventures of Superman radio program with Bud Collyer as Superman and Clark Kent, Joan Alexander as Lois Lane. But on radio it featured a guest appearance by Batman and Robin. You can see a review of this here

8:30p Catch 13 (a 90-minute fundraising drive, hosted by Alfred Drake; featuring Rodney Dangerfield, Joanne Carson,

It'd be interesting if this is still on video anywhere. Peter Max did a poster for it, which you can see here:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/PETER-MAX-Pop-Art-Poster-Catch-13-Fl-Radio-WNDT-Chan-13-/310338614692

A Google search reveals that on Friday, November 14, WNDT aired all three Catch 13 shows. Descriptions follow, taken from a copy of the Red Bank (NJ) Daily Register that you can find here:

http://209.212.22.88/data/rbr/1960-1969/1969/1969.11.14.pdf

7:00 pm - CATCH 13
The first of three special programs featuring entertainment and talk by leading performers of stage, screen and television. Guests: Rodney Dangerfield; Richie Havens; Gerry Mulligan and Peter Duchin and his orchestra.

8:30 pm - CATCH 13
This program features performances by: violinist Alexander Schneider; singer Nehama Lifschltz; folksinger Tom Paxton; folksinger Melanie; and Peter Duchin and his orchestra.

10:00 pm - CATCH 13
This program features The Clancy Brothers; Elaine Stritch; comic Robert King; singer Andy Thomas; Kukla, Fran and Ollie (taped); singer Maxine Brown; and Peter Duchin and his orchestra.

Not seeing any of them in the Paley Center archives, though.

Personally, that's a way fundraising for public television should have been -- as a traditional telethon (similar to Jerry Lewis'), and not a string of special made-for-pledge shows with segments to call if they would like to see more of it.

The 7 P.M. movie on Channel 3 went by the umbrella After Dinner Movie; apparently, even with Merv on CBS, then-WTIC's late night movie on this night was Monday Starlight.
