Subject: Re: 1972 Syndication Question

August 29, 1972 is the earliest non-network syndication run that I know of? A few other shows besides Bonanza were syndicated while they were still in production.

I know in Sept 1961 CBS began re-running the first six seasons of the half hour episodes of Gunsmoke, calling it, "Marshall Dillon." CBS aired it until Sept 1964.
It ran on Tuesdays at 7:30 PM.

Then about Jan of 1965 the half hours went into national syndication still under the "Marshall Dillon" title.

Fury which ran from 1954 till 1960 is another show that started re-running their earlier shows under the title "Brave Stallion" in 1959.

When Fury ended, NBC started re-runs on Saturdays at 11 AM from July 1960 until Aug 1966.
And the Brave Stallion syndicted episodes were still being shown until 1964. In NYC anyway.

Yes, TVG was a bargain. I started saving them in Sept 1957. My father bought the TVGs and when I saw the advertisements for Shock Theater, I began saving them after the week ended.

I think the 15 cent price from the first issue in 1953 was raised to 25 cents in the 70s. I'd have to check thru the guides to find out exactly when.

I started working at 11 yrs old delivering groceries. The store owner would pay me 25 cents per delivery and the customers would tip me anywhere between 10 and 25 cents.
I usualy made about 5 deliveries a day excluding Sundays.

So I might end up with about 8 to 10 bucks a week, which bought me quite a bit back in the 1960s.
