Minneapolis-St. Paul TV Guide ad from April 1979 for the CBS Network daytime game show called "Whew!" hosted by veteran game show host Tom Kennedy. It had a fast-paced format, a cartoon intro produced by Hanna-Barbera, even a cartoon "gauntlet of villains" as part of the game. Alan Thicke composed the theme music, and announcer Rod Roddy would say at the beginning of the show, "Close calls! Narrow escapes! Split-second decisions! And a chance to win $25,000! All in a game that will make you say, WHEW!"
This was one of my favorites at the time, and that's probably why it only lasted for just over a year. It likely had more appeal to teenage boys than to ninny housewives at home watching daytime television. The show ended on May 30, 1980 and was replaced with reruns of "Alice."
Ad from TV Guide, Minneapolis-St. Paul edition, April 28, 1979. It's almost surprising that WCCO-TV even carried it, as they were known for running syndicated talk shows in place of many CBS daytime game shows, except for "The Price Is Right."

This is a parody ad that appeared in a paperback book called "Not Quite TV Guide" by Gerald Sussman, David Kaestle and Leslie Engel, published in 1983. The entire book is a hilarious dead-ringer for a TV Guide of the era.

Television violence, 1958 style. Sgt. Preston of the Yukon beats the crap out of somebody while his husky bites his arm off. And that's just in the TV Guide ad. Presented by Quaker Puffed Wheat and Quaker Puffed Rice. Seems to be an irony in there somewhere.
From TV Guide (Minnesota state edition), February 9-14, 1958.

During this show Ed Sullivan interviewed Rodgers and Hammerstein and four songs were performed from Pipe Dreams, including Judy’s solo number Everybody’s Got A Home But Me, and her duet with William Johnson, All At Once You Love Her.

From the Minneapolis-St. Paul edition of TV Guide. Yes, it's true. Sonny Bono did have his own solo comedy-variety show on ABC in the fall of 1974, after his split from Cher and the subsequent cancellation of "The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour" on CBS. The ratings were poor and the show was cancelled at the end of 1974. The following month, Cher's own solo show premiered on CBS and lasted a year with better, but still disappointing ratings. So, in early 1976 Sonny and Cher teamed up again on CBS for almost two years.
Red Owl Stores sponsored the Wednesday 9 p.m. movies on Twin Cities Channel 9, then called KMGM-TV. "Treasure Island" (1934) with Wallace Berry and Jackie Cooper was shown on June 12, 1957.
40 years ago, as the calendar was about to turn to 1980: NBC presented that loveable and harmless O.J. Simpson in a heartwarming made-for-TV movie, "Goldie and the Boxer." Meanwhile on Channel 9, a special profiling hopefuls of the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow--just weeks before President Jimmy Carter proclaimed the United States would not be participating in the Soviet games.

TV's Harriet Nelson models the Civil Defense uniform
Playing the unaccustomed role of tailor to 1,000,000 women volunteers, the Federal Civil Defense people came up with the sky-blue suit being introduced here by Los Angeles volunteer Harriet Nelson, of TV's Ozzie and Harriet team.
To guarantee the uniform's feminine appeal, CD called in the California Fashion Creators Association, fabric company and hat designer Sally Victor. The complete ensemble–the dress uniform (which is shown), a work dress, slacks and coveralls-will cost $75.75.
Something new here. This is the cover of the February 25-March 3, 1967 TV Guide for the Eastern New England region (covering Boston, Providence, RI, Connecticut and Manchester, NH), with comedienne Phyllis Diller on the cover.

The late Tim Conway (1933-2019) was the guest on the only episode that aired of the controversial comedy show "Turn-On," airing on February 5, 1969. Viewers and local stations objected to the sexual innuendo and irreverence to the point that at lest one station bumped out of it while it was still airing, and ABC announced its cancellation the next day.
Robert Culp and his then-wife France Nuyen were to appear in the second episode, which was listed and advertised in the following week's TV Guide.

The Nixon/Frost interviews aired in May 1977 on WTCN-TV in Minneapolis-St. Paul and other stations around the country. In spite of what Ron Howard history revisionists would have you believe, the former president never took second billing to David Frost.
Format change at KSFX-FM 104 in San Francisco was the topic of "Evening Magazine" on KPIX-TV on May 25, 1982. DJ is wearing an Anchor Porter T- shirt.
"It was a case of being talked to death! 'Evening's' Richard Hart joins in the zany, no-holds-barred last days of Bay Area station KSFX as they changed from rocker to talker and discovers if rock and roll is dead on the airwaves!
PLUS...Dr. Wayne Dyer's prescription for happiness! TONIGHT 7:30"
The station, re-branded KGO-FM, only lasted a couple of years running ABC's Talkradio Network venture. ABC-owned WABC-AM New York also went all-talk around the same time, although with much more longevity.

Pages from the Minneapolis-St. Paul edition of TV Guide from October 15, 1969. "Divorce, American Style" (1967) with Dick Van Dyke and Debbie Reynolds is featured in an ad and a TV Guide Close Up, followed by KMSP Channel 9's "Eyewitness News" with Jim Steer.
Also on that night, the Kraft Music Hall 3rd Annual Country Music Association Awards hosted by Tennessee Ernie Ford on NBC, "Medical Center" (this episode dealt with "therapeutic abortion"), and the original "Hawaii Five-O" (featuring guest victim Elaine Joyce) on CBS, among other things.
"C" indicated the show was in color.
Hey-Hey-Hey! Ad for the New Bill Cosby Show on CBS and WCAX-TV Channel 3 in Burlington, Vermont, from the September 16-22, 1972 TV Guide, Montreal Edition. Cosby's deal with CBS at the time had him doing a prime time variety show as well as a Saturday morning children's show, "Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids." The kids show proved to have more longevity, lasting a decade or so while the adult variety show only lasted eight months.
March 15, 1958. Amanda Blake and James Arness of CBS's "Gunsmoke." "FREE COPY" is stamped on the cover, indicating that this was a promotional giveaway. Since it's the local edition covering Los Angeles, I like to think this issue was in the hands of the West Coast president of CBS -- but it's more likely it was owned by some mid-level manager of an ad agency.
October 28, 1972. Snoopy, Woodstock, and Charlie Brown of the CBS special "You're Not Elected, Charlie Brown" (illus. credited to Charles Schulz).

Pages from the Minneapolis-St. Paul edition of TV Guide from New Year's Eve, 1970. Compare this to the wall-to-wall debauchery that was on television this past New Year's Eve. The CBS affiliate was running Laurel & Hardy's classic "The Music Box" in front of the Guy Lombardo Special, Johnny Carson had his own New Year's bash with coverage from Times Square (before Dick Clark started doing that) and even the Rev. Rex Humbard had his own religious-themed New Year's show. My how times change...
