Thanksgiving-1967

WFMJ-21 Movie ad


Channel 49 (soon to be 23) ad for College Sports Specials and a WKBN-27 Movie Ad..


TV Guide Ad for the ABC Friday-After Thanksgiving Cartoon Block, which they did through at least the 1970's..This may have been the first year for it.

Today we'll look at Thanksgiving week in 1967..A few random notes:
Most of the TV shows of this period were in color, though there were still pockets of Black and White Local shows such as WJW-TV's Rex Humbard and some short newscasts,,On ABC, Game Shows Everybody's Talking and Family Game were also Black and White...
WVIZ-25 was all Black and White at this point. WJAN-17 and WAKR-49 Local shows were still monochrome, though WJAN showed a few off network reruns in color..

WJAN was still broadcasting 4-11:15 Monday-Friday 12-9 Saturday and off the air Sunday..

Franz The Toymaker was airing on WJW-TV 10-10:30 Sunday Mornings and weekdays 9-10..

WEWS' Upbeat with Don Webster was in the middle of its run..also airing in Youngstown, Erie and Toledo..

WKYC-TV countered with "Big Ralph" Saturdays at 6..With host Jay Lawrence (who, when asked about the name Big Ralph, said it was the name of his horse)

The Captain Penny Noon Show was 12:20-1 Monday-Friday and Comedy Clubhouse 4-5 PM weekdays on WEWS. The Noon Show would be gone by February, 1968, after a 13-year run, replaced by ABC "Bewitched" reruns and local news at 12:30..

"Sherlock Holmes and The House Of Fear" (1945) was The "Hoolihan and Big Chuck" Show Movie Friday, December 24, 1967 on Channel 8.

WAKR-49 moved down the TV dial to Channel 23 December 1, 1967

A young Jenny Crimm did news updates daily on WJW-TV at 3:25 PM after To Tell The Truth..She would move over to Channel 5, where for many years she did News Updates on the Morning Exchange and also the Noon News..
