1964–65 United States network television schedule

This is the first full season in which NBC broadcast more than 50% of its schedule in color, a fact which the network emphasized during its September 19–25 premiere week.[1] CBS and ABC, still mostly in black and white, continued rolling out rural sitcoms; in fall 1964, the networks added Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.According to television historians Castleman and Podrazik (1982), critics objected to CBS's rural sitcom-heavy schedule, particularly the Gomer Pyle character, but the "high ratings earned by the silly gimmicks and simpleton heroes would assure rural sitcoms spots in the network schedules for years".Only NBC avoided the escapist trend during the season,[1] with the exception of The Man From U.N.C.L.E.. All times are Eastern and Pacific.On CBS, Bill & Martha was originally supposed to have aired 9:30 p.m., but it was replaced by The Joey Bishop Show before it ever began.
