Read "The Thurber Carnival".....or "My World- and Welcome To It", for James Thurber at his best!

+Chad Quick you obviously weren't watching that horrible Debbie Reynolds promo .

+jsilence418 That was painful, and I love Debbie Reynolds. She must've had some bills to pay.

+coffycup75 Total misuse of her talent - it was awful.

She had faith in the format (it was created by Jess Oppenheimer, who was the "architect" of "I LOVE LUCY")- but after she went ballistic over her primary sponsor, American Brands {American Tobacco} scheduling a cigarette commercial during her premiere episode [when they insisted they WOULDN'T schedule any ads for their tobacco products], they pulled out of the series.....and NBC was unable to secure another major sponsor. Plus the fact that the show was opposite the second half of ABC's "MOD SQUAD" just about guaranteed its cancellation after one season.

Barry I. Grauman That and the fact it was just bad.

It WAS "interesting". But (the original) "HAWAII FIVE-O" on CBS attracted more viewers, and the series was cancelled after one season.

BurkeDivine66+ I miss the old tv too

Those were excerpts from two of Andy's 1968-'69 specials.

Not tim. His father Jim

Well, "Chet Kincaid's" job as a high school gym teacher and coach was only a part of the overall stories. There were other episodes involving his family, friends and acquaintances- and the occasional absurd and touching experiences in his daily life.

How Many Stories about Innocent Women Those Stories He Couldn't Tell Except In Court and Even Their He Lied Shame Nobody Else Know That Even At That time He May have been Ruining Lives Including Is Own But The Law Has Finally Judged Him Not I And Some Day God Will Judged Him Too.

Ask Him The Stories About Those Poor Innocent Women

YES. P&G sponsored Cosby for two seasons, then dropped him in favor of "THE JIMMY STEWART SHOW" for the 1971-'72 season.

Someone noted that P&G sponsored the 8:30 to 9:00 program for eleven years. The previous show was "The Mothers-In-Law".

The NBC fall preview specials became somewhat "predictable" in the '70s, because the same writer/producer [Philip Minoff, of the "NBC Advertising Department"] and editor [Alan Smiler] worked on them. In fact, the 1974 and '75 previews are virtually the same- even though the "hosts" and new series are different. That's one reason why NBC lost ground in attracting new viewers in the mid-'70s, and why CBS continued to be the #1 network [until ABC upset the others by "winning" the 1975-'76 season].

I remember that the law enforcer segment of The Bold Ones was replaced with a segment where Hal Holbrook played a Senator.

Jason Jones y

Yes. That was originally used as far back as 1962 or so. The "closing theme" was previously used in their 1966 Fall Preview special.

That was during the 1970-'71 season.

Set em.up joe

Yet...thanks to those things...you're able to watch this 50+ year episode again!😂😂😂

Read James Thurber's "If Grant Had Been Drinking At Appomattox" to appreciate the full satire of that story.
