Spring 1973
Certainly the issue which most directly references broadcast television; in fact, it is almost a celebration of 1950s and 60s TV. Interviews are the strong suite, chronicling the careers of Dennis James and Bill Gray (who created the role of Bud Anderson in Father Knows Best); interviews with television viewers talking about their favorite programs. There are even interviews with a store owner who acts in TV commercials for his clothing store, a TV repairman, and a guy who rents TVs for a living.
The issue is rich in off-screen photographs of famous and infamous television personalities. Wrestling, baseball and football are covered. There is a section on “TV Stuff” featuring photos of everything “TV” from TV stands and TV chairs to TV dinners.
