In the 3/7 Twilight Zone episode "Profile in Silver", about a time
traveler who goes to the Kennedy assasination, there is a scene where a
TV is playing in the background. It is a special news report, which
ends with the traditional "We now return to our regularly scheduled
program." After this line, you can here the Twilight Zone theme.
Does anyone know whether Kennedy's assasination took place on the same
day of the week as TZ was on in that year? This question reminds me of
last year's question about the original air date of the Honeymooners
episode that was used in Back to the Future.

This question reminds me of > last year's question about the original air date of the Honeymooners > episode that was used in Back to the Future. J. F. Kennedy was shot on a Friday, Nov 22, 1963, around 12:00 p.m. If ANYTHING would have been interrupted on network TV, it would NOT have been TZ. It would have been a soap opera. In particular, if you were watching CBS, it would have been AS THE WORLD TURNS (which was what my mom was watching at the time). Now maybe if it was on Friday noght and there was a special report re: Oswald's capture, etc., then maybe it could have been interrupted. I don`t have my TV book with me. Tom O'Connor
