Can you find the one show that was NOT on the air in 1969?

Which one of these classic shows didn’t air new episodes that year?

 

By any measure, 1969 was a good year for TV. Whether you wanted to watch sitcoms, science-fiction series, dramas, or variety shows, there was plenty to choose from!

Eight of the shows below aired new episodes that year, but one did not — either because it had already ended or it hadn't yet been created. Can you find the outlier in three guesses or less? Keep picking until you find it!

I knew Gilligan's Island went off about 1966, was only on 2 or 3 years.

The answer was obvious to those who knew G.I. only ran for 3 seasons (1964-Apr. 1967), so there was no new episodes in 1968 as well as 1969. It was supposed to be renewed, but the wife of the CBS programmer demanded "Gunsmoke" stay on, so G.I. was axed to keep it on (1955-75) in the Fall of 1967. G.I. could have filmed color episodes in the Fall of 1967, and the Dick Van Dyke Show would have probably done so in the Fall of 1966, for its 6th season, had it stayed on past June 1 of that year.

If I had THOUGHT about it I would have gotten it on the first try. I knew "Gilligan's Island" was one of the shows in production at the time of JFK's death in 1963, the show only lasted 3 years, so it COULDN'T have a new episode in 1969. DUH!
G.I.'s pilot was filmed that very sad day, Friday, Nov. 22, 1963, and you can see the flag flying at half-staff in the distance on its afternoon filming.
