Another week, another day. I didn't say much about today in my Saturday review (hey, what a great name for a magazine!), but it wasn't because Saturday didn't have anything to offer. As you can see, it's the era of CBS's absolute killer lineup, it's when Saturday Night at the Movies still ruled, and, well—The Partridge Family, which still belongs on Friday nights. But I'll bet you can still find your favorites, from this Minnesota State edition.

So I will bite. Why would KDAL in Duluth pre-empt virtually the entire #1 rated CBS Saturday night lineup to show decidedly conservative fare like "Hee Haw" and "Stand Up And Cheer"? Was it to be different and garner more local ad dollars with syndicated programming? Or was it that they were catering to the sensibilities of the local community?
ReplyDeleteYou know, I'm not sure. I'd have to guess a bit of each. They did show them; All in the Family was on Sunday at 9:30, Bob Newhart Tuesday night at 6:30, Mary Tyler Moore Wednesday at 6:30, and M*A*S*H Friday at 6:30. Perhaps they brought in more revenue by carrying the syndicated shows in primetime and showing the CBS programs in the local access slots during the week? Or perhaps they were just jealous that MTM was set in Minneapolis instead of Duluth?
DeleteThe CBS affiliate in Evansville, IN did the same thing for one season, I believe '73-'74. They ran the sitcoms at 6:30 during the week.. All in the Family on Mondays, M*A*S*H on Tuesdays, MTM on Weds and Bob Newhart on Thursdays. They ran a movie for the 7-9 period on Saturday and left Carol Burnett on at 9. As a kid back then, it was aggravating as I loved camping out in front of the TV on Saturday nights and watching that lineup.
DeleteThere was an affiliate in Spokane, KXLY Channel 4, that did the same thing with CBS's Saturday night lineup except they ran Lawrence Welk. That angered a lot of Spokane-area viewers and, ultimately, CBS itself who eventually dropped KXLY as an affiliate in 1976 after they fiddled with CBS's prime time schedule one too many times.
DeleteThe "Movie-Cartoon" early on CBS' schedule is a rerun of The New Scooby-Doo Movies with this particular episode starring an animated version of The Three Stooges (voiced By Pat Harrington Jr. and Daws Butler). As the cowardly Great Dane was a popular fixture on Saturday A.M., one has to wonder why his name is omitted from the listing.
ReplyDeleteHe's just included in the program description, almost as an afterthought.
DeleteTVG always took the word 'movie' a bit too seriously when it came to that title.
