Year of notable TV moments from 1966 in color and ratings
The year featured CBS stage adaptations like Death of a Salesman and The Glass Menagerie, NBCs Frank A Man and His Music, and ABCs To Save a Soldier. Color TV reached about nine million sets, with Bridge on the River Kwai drawing large audience blocks. Yet many new series failed and drama offerings were scarce, setting up a choppy 1967 season.
