Gunsmoke Executive Producer John Mantley, who had finished ten segments before violence was de-emphasized, says that he spent the whole summer in the cutting room.

...Sunday Evening News, Harry Reasoner reported the outcome of the game: "Heidi married the goatherder." The ABC Evening News staged its own electronic "bedtime story," with Anchorman Frank Reynolds reading excerpts from Heidi while Sportscaster Howard Cosell repeatedly interrupted with film clips of the game and suitably frantic commentary.
