TV Guide, November 7, 1964 (Volume 12, Number 45, Issue #606) [Western New England Edition]
There is no E at the end of Orson Bean, meaning that either [a] you made a mistake or [b]TV Guide did! If the latter is true, you should add a [sic]! The same holds for Mickey Manners!
I’d love to blame TV Guide but this was my mistake. Thanks for the correction.
It’s interesting how you have resource to the Western New England TV Guides. I am from the Hartford area, and I recall missing the CBS programming on Monday nights between 7 and 9. Channel 3 here (then WTIC-TV) ran a local movie (know as AFTER DINNER MOVIE) Monday nights, pre-empting CBS’s programming. The station did, however, run a kinescope of TO TELL THE TRUTH on Tuesday nights for a while.
