ISO: Tues. night line-up in 70s? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

My sister and I are racking our brains trying to remember what the line-up was back in the late 70s/early 80s. We used to watch Three's Company and the rest of those shows, but we can't remember what they would have been. Anyone know? Thanks in advance!

Every Tuesday night on ABC in the late 70's to the 80's viewers tuned into the most popular night of that time featuring such classics: "Happy Days" at 8pm, "Laverne & Shirley" at 8:30pm, and "Three's Company" at 9pm. This line-up is considered one of the greatest line-ups in TV History.

"Taxi" followed "Three's Company" for a few years, and then "Too Close for Comfort" got that time slot. "Oh, Madeline" (with Madeline Kahn) followed TC during it's final season. "Hart to Hart" was in the 10:00 pm slot for a lot of the years that TC was on.

Opps! I gave the wrong 1983-1984 Sked:

At the beginning of the season, the sked was:
8:00 PM: "Just Our Luck"
8:30 PM: "Happy Days"
9:00 PM: "Three's Company"
9:30 PM: "9 to 5"
10:00 PM: "Hart to Hart"

"9 to 5" and "Just Our Luck" were cancelled after a few weeks. JOL was a new show, 9 to 5 was in it's third season.

After that, this was the sked:
8:00 PM: ????
8:30 PM: "Happy Days"
9:00 PM: "Three's Company"
9:30 PM: "Oh, Madeline"
10:00 PM: "Hart to Hart"

"The A Team" murdered "Happy Days", and "Riptide" slashed "Three's Company" and anialated "Oh Madeline". Mr.T ("The A Team") didn't pity the fools who wouldn't move 'Days' and 'Company' to a safer night!

Ratings didn't fall that much BTW between TC (1983-1984) and TAC (1984-1985)

Thanks, everyone, for your responses!!

Sean Snow, where did you get all of those schedules?? Could you point me to any websites that would have that sort of information for other line-ups? Or did you just compile them all yourself? Thanks so much! My sister will be thrilled when I send her this link!

The following sites have Primetime Line Ups (Though they are from the beginning of the seasons, and some aren't currect. Like when I looked up the 83-84 lineup, I was shown the 82-83 line up) Here are the links:
