Mondays, I've found, are usually the toughest days of the week to get through; to be able to come home from work (or school) and unwind in front of the TV is one of life's simple pleasures. If that's what you're looking for this week, then tonight's your night. Aside from the premiere of The Bell Telephone Hour (which I mentioned on Saturday), there's pleasant music on The Voice of Firestone (unfortunately, on at the same time as Telephone); Tony Bennett guests on The Danny Thomas Show (also on at the same time), and Danny Thomas is in turn a guest on Ernie Ford's show. If you're looking for action and live in the right market, you can watch Highway Patrol, Sheriff of Cochise, San Francisco Beat and Badge 714. You can probably find more of your favorites as you browse these listings, from the Minnesota State Edition.
