Vintage TV schedules from the 60s (US, UK, Australia, Canada

Thursday 11 February 1965 schedule for Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. All four networks are represented (NBC, CBS, ABC, NET), but sadly no independent stations. Fortunately though, all of them are on VHF. That's good because UHF stations rarely got viewers (I heard of one UHF station during the 50s/60s, I forget which, where a host offered money to the first person who called in. Nobody called in, meaning NOBODY was watching!!).

It's a fun schedule, mostly fluff, but it's highly enjoyable fluff. Any schedule with "Bewitched" is a great schedule if you ask me.

Unfortunately, many of the daytime shows on the schedule are lost.

I notice that many of NET's shows aren't on IMDb. Someone should correct this.

Amazing how long lived some of these series were, in fact a few of them are still running today.
