Subject: What aired in that last 5 minutes

I bet I know exactly what aired, based on the date of this. That's a few days before the elections of 1956, so I guarantee it was a five-minute national political ad, for either Eisenhower or Stevenson.

Wait, what's the matter with me? I have the old TV schedules. Let me check ... be right back.

Yep. At 9:25, it says "Republican Talk." :)

By the way, "Shower of Stars" was in color. Contrary to what most people think, CBS did show some shows in color in the 1950s.
