This Week In '66

 

With Lynn Peril

The 1966 television season was particularly brutal for new shows. This week, we'll take a look at some of the ones that didn't make to a second season. Also, I misspoke when I was recording this episode. As some of you no doubt already know, "My Mother the Car" featured a 1928 Porter, not a Model T Ford.
