Newsday TV Book, July 23-29, 1972.
UPDATE! "New" stuff added, July 2022!
This week's cover is by "Sudduth," but I've been unable to find any info on this artist. The drawing has something to do with sports. I'm really not much of an athletic supporter, although I have been called worse. (Click on pics to enlarge/make legible.)
NEW! Here's the cover story about the upcoming MLB All-Star Game, just so you'll have something to read if all your Gowdy friends are coming over tonight! (You think that joke's bad, just hold on...)
Timbulas, senior citizen soul songs, werewolf makeup, John Bartholemew Tucker and the Fickle Finger of Fate award are all topics in the TV Line this week.
You know, if you buy cheap toilet paper, you're almost certainly going to poke through while using it--I call that the "fecal finger of fate." (That half-assed joke has been dormant in my head for many years. The FFoF Award just doesn't come up as often as it used to, so this was my only chance to employ it. Thank you, and you're welcome.)

Larry Storch [R.I.P.!] is seen wailing on sax in the poorly-written close-up for
Tuesday night's "Jerry Reed When You're Hot You're Hot Hour"--whatever
that means?
Shatner fans have a tough choice come 9 o'clock: Stick with The People or switch to the Enterprise?

This staple-spanning ad for WCBS-TV (New York City's channel 2) News features almost-Cub Jim Jensen, football-sucking Earl Ubell, and Jerome Wilson interviewing a young Larry "Bud" Melman.
Thursday brings Bobby Darin stepping in for Dino, and he's seen here (sans toupee) playing Groucho. Some good John Cashman reviews on this night too.
Staff artist Gary Viskupic offers an odd little doodle for the College All-Star Football Game on Friday night, which was up against the pilots Bobby Jo and the Big Apple Good Time Band with Forrest Tucker, My Sister Hank with Edgar Bergen and Jodie Foster (!?), and Miss Stewart, Sir with Joanna Pettet.
Here's Saturday morning, mostly for the hell of it, but also because it features the perennial CBS Children's Film Festival favorite "Skinny and Fatty," referenced by David Sedaris in one of his short pieces.
NEW! The rest of Saturday now follows, with a nutty Viskupic illustration (already found elsewhere on this blog) and other neat stuff!

Last but not least (the back cover is the same as last week's so we'll skip it), here's an installment of...
Suburban Dream: The perfect summer beach body!
To quote top Republican political strategist Scott Baio: Wah, wah, wah!
(Wha?)
See you next week for more old crap!
