Events

• January 15
  • The inaugural Super Bowl is simulcast on CBS and NBC
  • The Rolling Stones appear on CBS's The Ed Sullivan Show, where, at Sullivan's insistence, they perform "Let's Spend the Night Together" as "Let's Spend Some Time Together."

• March – Gunsmoke is renewed by CBS for the fall 1967 season. Aging (it was completing its 12th season) and declining in the ratings, CBS planned to cancel the western, but protests from viewers, network affiliates and even members of Congress and especially William S. Paley (Gunsmoke was Paley's wife's favorite show), the head of the network, lead the network to move the series from its longtime late Saturday time slot to early Mondays for the fall—displacing Gilligan's Island, which initially had been renewed for the fall but is cancelled instead. Gunsmoke would remain on CBS until 1975.
• March 6 – Mark Twain Tonight! starring Hal Holbrook as Mark Twain, premieres on CBS.

• May 15 – CBS News and BBC host the "Town Meeting of the World" with governor Ronald Reagan and senator Robert F. Kennedy.
• May – David Dortort appoints himself executive producer of Bonanza, a move which takes him out of the day-to-day running of the show but allows him to spend his efforts on another NBC western, The High Chaparral.
• June 12 – The fourth Peanuts special, You're in Love, Charlie Brown, with a springtime theme, has its premiere on CBS.

• July 1 – With live coverage from the Wimbledon Championships of tennis, BBC2 becomes Europe's first color TV broadcaster, although still in the experimental stage.

• September 17 – The Doors appear on The Ed Sullivan Show and perform "Light My Fire". Sullivan had requested that the line "Girl we couldn't get much higher" be changed for the show, but Jim Morrison performs it the way it was written and the band is banned from the show as a result.
