If you’re a longtime viewer of PBS North Carolina in its many and various incarnations, you may have been watching our airwaves back in 1981. If so, here’s what you would have seen on that particular Monday…
The evening began at 6pm with DOCTOR WHO, followed by WILDLIFE ADVENTURE. THE MACNEIL/LEHRER REPORT was at 7 with a repeat of NORTH CAROLINA PEOPLE after.
The night’s main fare were shows and series that have long been forgotten by anyone but the most savvy of PBS viewer. WAR AND PEACE was at 8pm. This was a 19-part adaptation of Tolstoy’s masterpiece and was originally broadcast on PBS stations in 1973! DANCE OF TWO COUNTIES: CHINA AND AMERICA was at 9 with HOT STUFF: THE RESTAURANTS OF NEW ORLEANS at 10.
Rod Serling’s classic TWILIGHT ZONE aired at 11pm with a special called THE URBAN LEAGUE’S NATIONAL CONFERENCE at 11:30.
And that’s what we aired 42 years ago today!
