I added twenty more ads today, from December 1960 and January 1961. There are eight in the the Channel 11 gallery including five more prime-time lineup ads. There's a 12/9/60 ad for Friday night shows, Rawhide "Incident at Poco Tiempo," Route 66 "The Berylium Eater," The Garlund Touch, (all on CBS), Manhunt (syndicated) and Eyewitness to History "De Gaulle's Algerian Mission," also on CBS. Next is a 12/10/60 ad for Saturday night CBS shows, Perry Mason "The Case of the Red Riding Boots," CBS Reports "Rescue - With Yul Brenner," Have Gun - Will Travel "The Legacy" and Gunsmoke "The Wake." There's a Sunday, 12/11/60 ad for Children's Spectacular and a 12/12/60 ad for Monday night shows, Navy Log "Buzz Boy" (syndicated) and CBS shows, Pete & Gladys "No Man is Japan," Bringing Up Buddy "Poppa's Eagle," The Danny Thomas Show "Fugitive Father," The Andy Griffith Show "Ellie for Council," Hennessey "The Underfed Fullback" and Face the Nation.
