The Grinch premiered on Sunday, December 18, 1966.
I’d completely forgotten about the TV Guide layout itself, and check out the shows listed on just these pages—Mission: Impossible, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, Walt Disney’s World (full title: Walt Disney’s Wonderful World of Color), Wild Kingdom, and the always invaluable Your Astrology Guide. You will never see a description like the following for any TV show ever again:
The Seaview becomes a den of terror when a virus again transforms Admiral Nelson into a werewolf.
Instead we get shit like this:
The murder of a local military academy’s first female cadet is investigated after her body is discovered in a buried foot locker.
Kiss my ass, 21st century television programming.
