What's on TV? Monday, June 2, 1980




One of the things I've noticed doing this feature throughout the years is how the number of ABC affiliates has increased as we get into the 1980s. Some of this is due to location, of course; one never has a problem finding an ABC station in New York City. But ABC, along with DuMont, always lagged behind NBC and CBS; those two networks had the advantage of building on their many radio affiliations. Frequently, you'd see ABC having to share an affiliation with another network, and sometimes they had no affiliate at all, but had to wrangle what time they could for their more popular shows, which explains why a show such as The Hollywood Palace would be seen at 10:30 p.m. on Sunday night. No longer, though; this is the era of ABC dominance in primetime, and in this Southeast Texas issue of TV Guide, ABC affiliates dominate the landscape. I wonder how many of them had made a switch in the previous few years? I could find out, but that would require too much effort. In the meantime, hope you all have a restful Memorial Day.

  1. I was 13 and living in Houston at this time, so I remember those schedules for KRIV and KHTV well. Interesting now to see how popular those animated omnibus syndicated programs were at this time. What they consisted of was several one-season (usually) Saturday-morning cartoon series that were repackaged by their respective studios for five days a week scheduling. I see Groovie Goolies and Friends, Fun World (Hanna-Barbera comedies), Hanna-Barbera's World of Super Adventure, and the clumsy-titled Superheroes (Filmation DC Comics adaptions).

    In a few years, local stations would be glutted with first-run syndicated fare such as "G.I. Joe" and 'He-Man" and other barely-disguised half-hour toy commercials, and the Caspers, Popeyes and Bugs Bunnys of afterschool yore either transferred to cable TV
    or disappeared altogether.

  2. I never heard of this show on 39, "Jim Rockford, Private Infestigator." He must be an exterminator who chases down bugs in his gold TransAm
