Note on NBC: when The Baseball Game of the Week was in season, Western
affiliates aired the 12pm and 12:30pm ET shows at their discretion or
not at all. Some aired them beginning at 2:30pm PT, some delayed them
to Sunday mornings at various times.

NBC had bad luck in the fall of 1978 when the Krofft Superstar Hour,
a show ABC had as The Krofft Supershow the previous season, tanked
in the ratings. Later in November, the show was split into two half hours
as The Bay City Rollers Show and The Krofft Superstar Show.

Adding to its troubles, the 90 minute Yogi's Space Race also tanked
and was pulled. In November, Yogi was cut back to 60 minutes, a spinoff called
Galaxy Goof Ups premiered, and Daffy Duck headlined his own half hour.
