"MTM" was at 9:30 before "Mannix"--the rest of the night before Mary was
"Mission:  Impossible," "My Three Sons" and the new Herschel Bernardi
sitcom "Arnie."  On NBC against Mare was "Saturday Night at the Movies"
(before the movie was Andy Williams in the Chris Bearde/Allan Blye
incarnation with Prof. Irwin Corey and the Cookie Bear and "Adam-12").  ABC
started the season with a flop drama series called "The Most Deadly Game"
at 9:30.  Mid-season, the time was given back to the affiliates.  "Let's
Make a Deal" and "The Newlywed Game" started the night, followed by
Lawrence Welk.  The game shows moved to Monday night in mid-season before
getting their prime time walking papers in the fall (with "Deal" continuing
in first-run syndication for six more years), the Champagne Music Makers
moving up an hour before getting their rural purge cancellation (and then
running in first-run syndication for over a decade) and a Pearl
Bailey-fronted variety show crashed and burned at 8:30.
