Inside the Guide: Next week, we go back 70 years! (August 20-26, 1955)

Next week, we'll start looking at a TV Guide from 70 years ago: The August 20-26 issue seen below:




One thing about going this far back in time is that every page of the listings is an adventure. It's so early that you see lots of obscure/forgotten/rare programs. We will get to those listings and try to line up more or less with what was on 70 years ago to the day, but there is a lot more in the issue, including the remarkable cover story. This cover hit newsstands mere weeks after The $64,000 Question debuted and became a sensation.

Stay tuned!
