60 Minutes
CBS, 7:00 p.m. ET
Last Sunday, the day after Mike Wallace died, Morley Safer opened that evening’s 60 Minutes by noting the passing of his longstanding friend and colleague, and promising a full tribute the following week. Tonight, Safer and 60 Minutes make good on that promise, with the entire program devoted to the man who was there at the beginning of this invaluable TV newsmagazine when it launched in 1968, and who, more than anyone else, was responsible for its mainstream, Top 10 success. This hour is not to be missed; Wallace, in terms of TV history, will be. In both cases, though, attention must be paid.
