What's on TV? Wednesday, October 13, 1965

I thought about spotlighting Monday's programming for this week's feature, but since the networks are probably preempting most of it for the papal visit, that obviously won't do. What days of the week haven't I done yet? Oh, what the hell - let's just pick one.

Wednesday it is!

The listings are from the Minnesota State Edition, including the Twin Cities, Alexandria, Duluth, and Mankato. If you've followed these editions over time, you'll notice that WDIO, the ABC affiliate in Duluth, isn't listed; it doesn't take the air until January of next year.

I've heard enough about Danny Kaye to know that he wasn't always the easiest person to work with, and there are many stories about how he resented it if guests on his show upstaged him. That would ordinarily be enough to color my opinion of him, but he's such an all-around great entertainer - singing, dancing, acting, comedy, drama - it's difficult to hold it against him. He has a pretty good lineup tonight, with Caterina Valente (who was quite visible on television in these days) and the great Benny Goodman.
