1964 marked the height of my television addiction. I sent away for a STAR ALBUM about the new season. 100 pages of colorful, full page photos of NBC's big stars!
It must have been my favorite channel--Channel 4 out of Detroit--because I sure watched a lot of these shows. Like the Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color. (Only we didn't have a color tv yet...I would not get one until 1985.)
Some of my favorite shows included Bonanza
and The Man From U.N.C.L.E.
Mom watched Dr. Kildare and I always watched what Mom watched
And my brother and I still enjoyed Mr. Magoo
We watched Daniel Boone
And Flipper
And even Hazel
I think Mom watched Mr. Novak
And Tammy
Mom stayed up late, but she watched old movies instead of Johnny Carson
But I remember the Huntley-Brinkley Report
I remember getting excited for Saturday Night at the Movies
Then they added Wednesday Night at the Movies.
Danny Thomas I knew from Make Room for Daddy
The News was big. NBC had 17 correspondents.
Their programs included the Today show, the Huntley-Brinkley Report, the Morning Report, the Day Report, the Mid-Afternoon Report, the Afternoon Report, Meet the Press and Sunday. Now we have CNN and continual news 24-7.
What was your favorite NBC show this season? If you don't see it let me know and I can upload the photos!
