Network television schedules

The first "NBC Week" was in 1965, not in 1964, and My Favorite Martian premiered in 1963. I know you mean well, but that doesn't mean you can destroy the feeling of these schedules for the rest of us, especially when you ignore what the newspaper microfilms have to say, or disregard the ratings as listed by classictvhits.com.

Therefore, I am going to have to revert the schedules to what they were before; if you have a problem with that, please take your wrath out in the sandbox.149.175.37.202 (talk) 22:50, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

All reverted back to your (Firsfron's) version as pure edit-warring vandalism. Anon user should be blocked. - NeutralHomer • Talk • 23:35, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Not a problem :) Let me know if I can be of assistance in your updating of the pages. Take Care...NeutralHomer • Talk • 01:28, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Listen, wise guy:

I've had too much with your acceptance of the book "Watching TV" as gospel truth. You must refer to newspaper microfilms. They'll show you that there was no "NBC Week" in September 1964.97.120.137.22 (talk) 00:30, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

About those television schedules

Firs-

I realize now that you're too crazy about color coding the schedules, so I'm taking your suggestion and will show each of the top 30 programs of each season with its respective (rank/rating), as determined by Nielsen Media Research. I intend to use the ratings charts at classictvhits.com as my primary source.

In addition, if I find anything in your commentary to these schedules that I feel doesn't ring true, I'll let you know as reasonably as possible so you can dip into the appropriate further research.97.120.137.22 (talk) 05:30, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I discovered in the Brooks/Marsh book that Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts and You Bet Your Life were actually tied for 3rd in 1953-54, so I added bronze to the latter; I hope you don't mind. By the way, I'm using a capital "T" in the rankings to indicate a tie.97.120.137.22 (talk) 19:15, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I had to include Rawhide in the 1958-59 schedule because it finished in the top 30. Please try to understand.97.120.137.22 (talk) 13:54, 23 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In 1963-64 The Fight of the Week wasn't new; it was just on a new night. It had been running on Saturdays under that title since 1960. IYMK. these were the shows that the new ABC listed as new in fall 1963:

The Travels of Jaimie McPheeters Arrest and Trial 100 Grand The Outer Limits Breaking Point The Greatest Show on Earth The Fugitive The Patty Duke Show Channing The Jimmy Dean Show Sid Caesar alternating with Edie Adams Burke's Law The Farmer's Daughter The Jerry Lewis Show

I also suggest that you look further into Castleman/Podriazik's TV Schedule Book which does include mid-season schedules.97.120.137.22 (talk) 06:45, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Independence, Iowa

First off, let me state that this was an error on my part: I seem to have looked at the article about Independence, Kansas, as "governmentally independent" is a Kansas term that really does apply to the Kansas city, and I have a vague memory of thinking that this was a Kansas township.

Secondly — this Census Bureau map says the same thing as the map you provided. If you open this file and look at cities that really are separate from their township, such as Waterloo, you'll see a slightly more solid city border and a little º next to the city name, but neither is present in this map's version of Independence.

Between what I've said in the first and the second paragraphs, I've realised my error and reverted to what you wrote. Thanks for pointing out the error! Nyttend (talk) 00:43, 23 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
