Newsday TV Book, December 8-14, 1974

Well, I'm a little late on this one, but these old TV Books are worth a look any ol' time...
This week's cover, for the second week of December 1974, features a sultry Faye Dunaway (between Chinatown and Three Days of the Condor) in an Arthur Miller TV adaptation.

The TV Line at last introduces Newsday readers to the guy who writes those humorous, snarkilicious movie reviews (but of course you and I already know him to be John Cashman)...

Takashimaya then introduces readers to scary Japanese Santa Claus.

Christmas + Disneyland = happiness, just as Record World + cheapo LP's = shopping finished!

Some Christmas specials make for festive Sunday night viewing, plus Lou Grant tells us about Chanukah and Sonny replaces Cher with Rufus.

Another ad, from Farmingville's ever-loving Pudgies. This sounds great--I love all different foods!

Rent your holiday shindig from Huntington Village's Good Time Party Rentals. Free coat rack, sweet!

Elliot Gould goes Out to Lunch with some Muppets and the Electric Company, and again Ed Asner breaks down Hanukkah for us, just with a different spelling this time.

Illustrator Gary Viskupic gives the Earth some shapely gams for the Miss World 1974 close-up.

Here, Viskupic (a WWII buff, I've read) depicts Hitler's familiar salute as the barrel of a cannon for a multi-part bio of the that lunatic. Elsewhere, Christopher Connelly Paper Moon-lights on Ironside.

Here's Saturday's late listings, just for fun...

...and that day's movies, plus sports and specials for the week.

Next week (and hopefully sooner than this one arrived): Tony Orlando and Dawn!
