6. It's not accurate. That is a 1962-63 schedule. JFK died that fall, so it would be the 63-4 season.

I was alive then and watched both Mr. Ed and Judy Garland's program. Mr. Ed was on earlier in the evening on Sundays. As for Judy Garland, she sang "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" in honor of JFK on her show.

It aired Sunday nights, and it was canceled because it couldn't compete with Bonanza.

Here is the schedule for 63-4:

Mr. Ed was on around 6:30 p.m. on Sundays, as I recall. It was on earlier in the schedule than the link shows. It's in a footnote at the link.
