I was 13 when the first show aired. I already had the book (and was reading it surreptisously in math class before that fateful sunday)
I even came home early from school on that Friday and watched the Dinah Shore Show to see the interview with Lorne Greene. They kept saying "We will show you previews later in the show." The last two minutes of the show had some previews and all the cast standing around on stage. I was so hooked, I didn't care! I wanted the show to start right then, and to wait two whole days was pure torture!
