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. -2- WCBS (CBS) MORNING 7:45 PREVIEWS 7:50 GIVE US THIS DAY—Religion 7:55 NEWS 8:00 PRIVATE SECRETARY—Comedy 8:30 MY LITTLE MARGIE—Comedy 9:00 PEOPLE’S CHOICE—Comedy 9:30 WAY TO GO—Religion 10:00 LAMP UNTO MY FEET 10:30 LOOK UP AND LIVE 11:00 MONTAGE—Education 11:30 CAMERA THREE 11:45 NEWS—Richard Bate AFTERNOON 12:00 MOVIE—Comedy “Penrod and Sam” (1937) 1:00 MOVIE—Western Picture for a Sunday Afternoon: “Gallant Bess” (1946) 2:30 MOVIE—Adventure Picture for a Sunday Afternoon: “China Seas” (1935) 4:00 FYI—Documentary “Third Parties, Present Tense” 4:30 NEW YORK FORUM Guest: Rep.
