CBS airs the new comedy Big Eddie ahead of the official fall start. Shel don Leonard stars as Eddie Smith, a tough arena operator with a soft heart. The pilot centers on his whiplash injury as family and cast interact during a magazine interview.
The listing outlines an evening slate with shows such as I Love Lucy, Dragnet, The Dick Van Dyke Show, The Beverly Hillbillies, The French Chef, The Tonight Show, and game shows like Truth or Consequences and Jeopardy style formats. Also notes specials on News and various regional programs including South Texas Today and World of Animals.
A dense TV lineup lists programs by time from 7:00 P.M. to 2:30 A.M. featuring Sanford and Son, The Mark of Zorro, One More Time, The Blue Max, The Rockford Files, Monty Python, The Crimson Canary, The Night Strangler, The People Next Door, Tribes, Jungle Woman, Don Kirshner, and Sunset Boulevard among others, with films, news, sports, and talk shows in between.
A sprawling old television schedule lists daytime and late night programs, including film titles such as Here Come the Coeds Not of This Earth Charlie Chan in Reno and The Comancheros, plus talk shows, sports, and musical programs across channels with numerous time slots and varied content. Names like Abbott and Costello Warren Beatty John Wayne Marilyn Monroe and Larry Welk appear among many others.
A jammed listing shows Medix and many shows across dayparts including NFL related content, sports warmups, international programs, movies such as The Crowded Sky and The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and news segments. Notable entries include Bonanza, McHale's Navy, World of Disney, 60 Minutes, and National/Gospel programming.
The review skewers the TV show Big Eddie for lacking reality, topicality, bite, and laughs. It notes tired, punchless jokes and flat performances, while recalling Leonard’s long career in film and radio and his shift to behind the scenes work in earlier decades.
Bob Sparks, 39, and hitchhiker crew chief G Hadden Wood were rescued after a red, white and blue balloon leaked and drifted 145 miles southeast of Nantucket while attempting a one man cross from Cape Cod to Europe. Sparks vowed to retry later, despite the failed attempt and last year’s windbound voyage. Wood, 44, of Greenwich, Conn., clung to the gondola rope as spectators watched the craft disappear, and sponsors pledged support for a future crossing.
