Review of The Great Adventure

This show was scheduled Fridays @ 7:30 in th fall of 1963. That meant than one episode was pre-empted on 11/22 after the events surrounding the assassination of John F. Kennedy. I distinctly remember a twinge of disappointment that what was becoming a favorite show for this 7th grader would not air that night. But I was glued, as most of the nation,to TV. Later that night,remember the rifle used by Lee Harvey Oswald parading through hallways as he was processed for his crime. Live on TV. I missed his murder the following Sunday by seconds. Live on TV.These were four days that showed just how effective TV could be in relating timely events. A history story bumped by history. The show would not return until 12/6.
