What's on TV? Sunday, June 12, 1960




You'll often notice, especially on Sundays, a program simply called Christophers. This program, which ran on ABC and in syndication from 1952 to 2012, was a production of The Christophers , a Catholic religious group dedicated to the doctrine of religious tolerance. It's all in a very noble cause, but with that said, I can't resist commenting on today's program (11:30 a.m., WPIX), "Develop a Love of People," featuring John Daly, Jack Hailey, and Jack Bailey. Great gentlemen all, but my first thought was that this sounded like the cast of a movie being promoted by Johnny Carson's character Art Fern on his Tea Time Movie. (If you've seen the bit, you'll get the joke.) Ah well, I guess once you're a smart ass, you stay that way the rest of your life. Today's listings come from the New York Metropolitan Edition.
