Wouldn't it be great to see this schedule on some cable station today?

Notice the 90-minute timeslot for the noon movie. I remember that these consisted of those 90-minute "Movies of the Week" which were made for TV in the 1970s. This was the era before TV movies became "relevant" (women in peril, disease of the week, etc.), so we got lots of suspense and comedy. Also, many 90-minute TV pilots weren't included in the syndication runs of their respective series, so in this time slot we got to see pilots for "Charlie's Angels", "The Rookies", "Starsky & Hutch", "The Love Boat", etc.

Romper Room still on then? Gosh I thought it romped off the seen in the early 70's. It would be nice to see the programs they had then on now.

If this schedule still existed, these would be the shows I would watch and at least "try and catch it".

As it stands, the schedule is better off not existing, IMHO.

I'm pretty sure Romper Room ran here in Cleveland unitl the late 80s, 1990 at the latest.

and that is why I thought that was pretty cool since I am a big fan of both programs.

Because Starsky & Hutch is one of my favorite shows, and I also liked One Day at a Time, but I have not seen that sitcom in a long time....
