September 20, 2012: Phil Donahue in Toledo

 

I added fifteen more ads today, all from September, 1978 plus three more Random Pages gallery additions from Peach Sections of The Blade, a Wednesday, 9/20/78 story, “Phil Donahue To Talk At Masonic Auditorium” and two by Norman Dresser, a Wednesday, 9/27/78 story “Phil Donahue Leads Panel Discussion On TV Impact” and a Friday, 9/29/78 item, “Pay TV System To Be 24-Hour Operation,” about Home Premiere Cinema on The CableSystem. There are four additional ads in the Channel 11 gallery, including a Tuesday, 9/19/78 ad and a Wednesday, 9/20/78 ad (in one image). Both ads are for their 7-8 PM shows, The Brady Bunch and Mary Tyler Moore and the Tuesday ad is also for CBS shows, The Paper Chase, “The Man Who Would Be King” and The CBS Tuesday Night Movies, “Are You In the House Alone?” CBS actually showed “The Shootist.” The Wednesday ad was also for CBS shows, The Jeffersons, “Louise's Painting,” In the Beginning, “Pilot” and the movie, “Are You In the House Alone?” The Wednesday ad still has the movie as being on The CBS Tuesday Night Movies, instead of CBS Wednesday Night Movies. Next is a Thursday, 9/21/78 ad for The Brady Bunch, Mary Tyler Moore and CBS shows, The Waltons, “The Empty Nest” and Barnaby Jones, “Blind Jeopardy.” There's also a Friday, 9/22/78 ad for again, The Brady Bunch, Mary Tyler Moore and CBS shows, Wonder Woman, “My Teenage Idol is Missing” and The Incredible Hulk, “Married.” There are seven addditions to the Channel 13 gallery, including a Monday, 9/18/78 ad for Liar's Club (Allen Ludden) and Tic Tac Dough (Wink Martindale) and NBC prime time shows, Little House on the Prairie, “As Long as We're Together” and the movie, “Audrey Rose.” Next is a Tuesday, 9/19/78 ad for Liar's Club, Tic Tac Dough and NBC shows, Grandpa Goes to Washington, “The Birthday Party” and part one of the movie, “Airport '77” followed by a Wednesday, 9/20/78 ad for Liar's Club, Tic Tac Dough and NBC shows, Dick Clark's Live Wednesday and the conclusion of “Airport '77.” There's also a Thursday, 9/21/78 ad for Liar's Club, Tic Tac Dough and NBC shows, Project U.F.O., “Sighting 4015: The Underwater Incident,” Quincy, The Last Six Hours” and W.E.B., “To Angelica with Love,” and a Friday, 9/22/78 ad for The Waverly Wonders, “Tate Vs. Tate,” Who's Watching the Kids, “Larry Moves In,” The Rockford Files, “Heartaches of a Fool” and The Eddie Capra Mysteries, “Where's the Smoke?” There's another one for Monday night shows, a 9/25/78 ad for Liar's Club, Tic Tac Dough and NBC shows, Little House on the Prairie, The Winoka Warriors” and the movie, “Overboard.” Angie Dickinson was 46 when she made this movie and looked great in a bikini! The last one is a Wednesday, 9/27/78 ad for Liar's Club, Tic Tac Dough and NBC shows, Dick Clark's Live Wednesday and the NBC World Premiere Movie, “Zuma Beach.” There are three additions to the PBS gallery, including a Saturday, 9/30/78 ad for a Penn State vs. Ohio State football game, shown on tape-delay.

There's one addition to the Radio Station Ads gallery, a Friday, 9/22/78 ad for a Michigan vs. Notre Dame football game on WTOD-AM 1560 and there's one addition to the Other Vintage ads gallery, a Monday, 9/18/78 ad for Phil Donahue's appearance at Toledo Masonic Auditorium.
