I have tried to cut and paste that grid into DU many years ago and it didn't work, so you will have to hit the link if you are curious.

remember only 3 networks and no PBS. Prime time started at 7:30 PM Eastern and went to 11 PM.

Looks like lots of movies. If you look real close you will see a summer replacement named "All In The Family" on Tuesday at 9:30.

Thought this might bring some memories

Some Wiki links use characters that are not recognized by some browsers, like parenthesis.

Replacing ( with "%28", and ) with "%29", usually works.

Anyway, thank YOU for sharing this walk down memory lane with us.

That was the year our color television broke and my parents couldn't afford to get it repaired so my dad bought a black and white television on sale at K-Mart for sixty-something dollars. That's about $450 dollars in 2020 dollars. The same size color televisions were about $350, which is about $2,300 in 2020 dollars.

My dad used to come home from work, pop open a beer, and watch CBS news. He's still a television news junkie. So is my wife's mom.
