But Why Is This Important

Many of you have written in asking what TV shows I was watching in 1967, and why? Well, we were really an ABC kind of family. What does that mean? Well... remember how differently your buddy's mom made up tuna sandwiches from how your own mom made up tuna sandwiches, and how you liked your mom's much more. I think it mostly had to do with the pickle relish.
And it was like that with channels 3, 8 and 13. It wasn't good or bad, there was just something different about a family who didn't predominantly tune into ABC.

That said, I offer you a list of shows that ran in the Fall of 1967 with, of course, the occasional remark.
