Bob Gordon's Popcorn Theatre on November 16, 1968
Sometimes when time permitted, Bob Gordon's weekend shows ran more than four hours.

On Friday September 9, 1966, Bob Gordon's long weekday run on WSJS 12 came to an end. On Saturday afternoon September 17, 1966 Bob Gordon moved to weekends where he stayed until August 15, 1976. Bob had done several Saturday "Popcorn Theatre" shows in 1965 which were very popular. Popcorn Theatre aired on Saturday afternoons during Pro Football season. Then he would switch to Sunday afternoons during Major League Baseball season. When the two ball seasons overlapped or there were special sporting events, Bob might be pre-empted or if time permitted he might air a shorter version of his show. The longest Bob Gordon weekend show I remember seeing was about five hours in length with the shortest being one hour. It just depended on how much time was available.
