Recreating the 1959-1960 TV schedule.
Airdate info is best available so don't blame me if you travel back to Oct 3rd 1959 and the wrong Gunsmoke episode is on.

@televisionaryZW That two-part Alcoa Presents/One Step Beyond about Peter Hurkos is basically an early version of Stephen King's The Dead Zone. It's pretty good!

@televisionaryZW Looks like I didn't have Tales of Wells Fargo and The Danny Thomas Show at that point! Cheyenne's a repeat and syndicated shows vary too much. I'd pay small dollars for that day's episodes of Hennesey and The Steve Allen Show!

Is this an uncredited Robert Duvall on the bottom left in THE WITNESS episode "Louis 'Lepke' Buchalter" (17 Nov 1960)? #1960TV

Australia now has some of the democratic world's most draconian anti-protest laws. Today a man was arrested as an "agitator" simply for peacefully yelling "shame" in the direction of the visiting Israeli President, on the basis it may have "incited fear" https://t.co/jZJ59cRU02

You do not need to be an Olympic athlete or astronaut to value yourself and others enough to wear a mask.

Every day of broadcasting has a story to tell. What were Australians watching on Christmas Eve 65 years ago? And why does it still matter today? @UniversitySA https://t.co/xUkSq2bLeu

Leslie Lee III, an educator, critic, and Long COVID advocate, died on November 10.

“He was one of the few voices in leftist spaces that refused to buy into COVID denialism," Taylor Lorenz told us. "He was such a strong voice..." https://t.co/NDzRXXa3YW

"I wasn't dirt to him like I was to everybody else." Sad backwoods role for June Lockhart.#Gunsmoke "Dirt" 1 Mar 1958

The reason disabled people are pissed is because you keep spreading a virus that you were told specifically would kill massive amounts of disabled people.

The enduring legacy of the 1925 film – with Lon Chaney as a villainous Phantom – is complicated by its tangled release history and multiple versions. @UniversitySA https://t.co/UHSka2wYsb

100 years since the official premiere of The Phantom of the Opera with Lon Chaney on 6 September 1925.
