February 1, 2012: Burlesque!

 

I added 20 more ads today, all from February 1971 plus two more Random Pages gallery additions from two Blade Peach Sections. The first one is a Wednesday, 2/3/71 "One Viewer's View" by Norman Dresser titled, "'All in the Family' Still Funny" along with three other stories, "'First Tuesday' Tells Janis Joplin Story," "Apollo 14 Coverage Exciting" and "Radio's 'The Shadow' Revived by WCWA." The second one is a Thursday, 2/4/72 "One Listener's Ear" also by Norman Dresser, titled "Toledo Area Cloaked by 'The Shadow'" along with two other stories, "Movies and The Moon: a First From WSPD-TV" and "Ch. 24 to Telecast 'The Photographers.'" There are nine ads in the Channel 11 gallery including two for The CBS Thursday Night Movies, a 2/11/71 ad for "The Cincinnati Kid" (Steve McQueen, Tuesday Weld) and a 2/18/71 ad for part one of "The Battle of the Bulge." There's also a Saturday, 2/13/71 ad for a National Geographic Special, "The Great Mojave Desert," a Monday, 2/15/71 ad for The David Frost Show and a Saturday, 2/20/71 ad for a Bowling Green vs. Toledo Basketball game. There are four more for movies, a Saturday, 2/13/71 ad for "The Black Castle" on The Late Show, a Tuesday, 2/16/71 ad for "An Affair to Remember on The Big Show (Cary Grant, Deborah Kerr), a 2/21/71 ad for "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" on The Sunday Show and a Tuesday, 2/22/71 ad for "The President's Lady" on The Big Show (Charlton Heston, Susan Hayward). There's one more channel 11 ad in the News/Special Reports Ads gallery, a Monday, 2/22/71 ad for a Carol Saynisch five-part series of reports on News/90 called "V.D., the Silent Epidemic." There are also two channel 13 ads in that gallery for reports on The Venner-Ward Report. The first is a Tuesday, 2/9/71 ad for "The Unwanted Child," a series of Gordon Ward reports and a Tuesday, 2/23/71 ad for a Jim Rudes report on "Burlesque!" with Rose La Rose. There are three more ads in the Channel 13 gallery, including a 2/13/71 ad for "Male of the Species" on Saturday Evening at the Movies. Next is a Monday, 2/15/71 ad for that week's Perry Mason episodes, "The Case of the Frightened Fisherman," "The Case of the Arrogant Arsonist," "The Case of the Garrulous Go-Between," "The Case of the Woeful Widower" and "The Case of the Sleepy Slayer" (Raymond Burr). There's also a 2/20/71 ad for two Saturday programs, a Western Michigan vs. Kent State basketball game and "Winchester '73" on Saturday Evening at the Movies. There are two more ads for The Venner-Ward Report in the Channel 13 News gallery, a Thursday, 2/4/71 ad (June Miller, Frank Gilhooley, Frank Venner, Gordon Ward, David Drury) and a Friday, 2/12/71 ad (Woody Hayes, Frank Gilhooley). There's one ad in the Channel 24 gallery, a Saturday, 2/13/71 ad for the season premiere of ABC's The American Sportsman. There's also one in the Radio Station Ads gallery, a Tuesday, 2/16/71 ad for Paul Harvey Comments on WTTO-AM 1520. Today's last ad is in the Other Vintage ads gallery, a Friday, 2/12/71 ad stating that Toledo Trust would be closed on President's Day. More ads from the online archives of The Toledo Blade are on the way...

I'd also like to add a few notes about ME-TV on WTOL: Because Channel 40 in Toledo has the local rights to several of ME-TV's shows, Toledo's ME-TV schedule differs somewhat from the national schedule. The following shows are not being aired on WTOL in Toledo: Petticoat Junction, My Three Sons, I Love Lucy, Bonanza and The Brady Bunch. Weekday mornings WTOL runs a second airing of The Beverly Hillbillies instead of Petticoat Junction, a second airing of Family Affair instead of My Three Sons, and The Lucy Show instead of I Love Lucy. Weekday afternoons they run a second airing of The Big Valley instead of Bonanza. On Sundays they'll be running Love, American Style and That Girl instead of the 2-hour Brady Bunch block. Channel 40 also carries Get Smart but on-line listings indicate that Get Smart is on WTOL's schedule on late-night Saturdays.
