I've been spending some video time lately looking at the late 1960s, at what a divisive and changed time it is. That's one reason why I'm struck looking at the listings for this Saturday morning, looking at how many westerns there are. The science fiction and superhero cartoons make sense—that is, after all, the future. But westerns? I understand the lure of the Lone Ranger, Roy Rogers and Hopalong Cassidy; I had my share of cowboy hats and six-shooters among my childhood toys. I'm just a bit surprised that the wild west is still seen as fodder for kids; it's so traditional, so conventional, so unlike everything that the end of the '60s is supposed to be about. Oh well; if that's what's on TV in Philadelphia, that's the way it must be! 3 3 KYW (NBC)MORNING 5:55NEWS 6:00ACROSS THE FENCE -C- 6:30CANTERBURY TALES 7:00MOVIE—Comedy“The Big Broadcast of 1936” (1935) 9:00SUPER 6—Children -C- 9:30COOL McCOOL -C- 10:00FLINTSTONES -C- 10:30BANANA SPLITS -C- 11:30UNDERDOG -C- AFTERNOON…
