A few years ago, at a flea market, I bought an old TV schedule supplement to Chicago Daily News.  It’s for April 27 – May 4, 1968.  Leslie Uggams is on the cover, and the interview is with Betsy Palmer (sadly, best known for her later work as psycho killer Mrs. Voorhees in Friday the 13th). It’s interesting to see what was on the tube at the time.  At least we had Star Trek – and a shitload of westerns.  And whatever happened to The Doodletown Pipers?
