Networks film conflict coming as schedules shift to one film night on Wednesdays while double features collide on Mondays and Tuesdays. Networks struggle with ratings as films, stars, and pre-sold products diverge from the effort of fresh productions, reducing involvement and cost.
Hollywood reports two major networks ABC and NBC plan a direct Monday night movie showdown starting near Monday. ABC will move How a Steal a Milton to 7 30 p m CST while NBC counters with Texas Across the River starting at 8 p m CST. The shift aims to capture viewers but TV safety issues from a nursing home fire killed three elderly residents in Marietta Ohio, raising the death toll and prompting questions about fire safety regulations.
TV highlights include El Cid Part 1 at 8 pm with Charlton Heston and Sophia Loren, a repeat that promises epic battle sequences. Also, a 1960s automobile documentary tracks from velocipede to Model T, plus Red Skelton and Duke Ellington ensembles with Satin Doll and Take the Train.
