Would you actually watch that Sunday morning religious block, or is it part of your schedule only because that's what TV stations used to do on Sundays 50 years ago? Me, I'd find room for a syndicated country music show there ("Nashville on the Road" or "Pop Goes the Country") and that installment of "Championship Bowling" from Akron that you have running in the afternoon, or, in season, a one-hour condensed replay of the previous day's Notre Dame football game (with Lindsey Nelson on play by play). Limit the religion to "Davey and Goliath" and one of the four shows you have running from 10 to noon.

On weekdays, I'd drop the first half of the local morning show in favor of "Bozo" and "Romper Room" for the kids, then, after the truncated morning show, run a couple of a.m. game shows, "Concentration" and the original "Jeopardy!," and "Donahue." Sorry, morning movie, you're history.

Can't find much fault at all with your prime times. Near perfection, but "Get Smart" deserves to be in there somewhere.

Instead of classic pro wrestling add either Ring of Honor Wrestling or TNA Xplosion or Impact Wrestling in that time slot.
 
...after the last 40 years of junk that passes for televangelism (Pat Robertson, Jimmy Swaggart and Jim Bakker are STILL on OTA in the Los Angeles market!), I certainly would watch that Sunday morning religious block. No Bozo in the mornings, but I would consider the Bob Keeshan run of Captain Kangaroo, depending on how many episodes actually still might exist, and/or Bill Jackson's Gigglesnort Hotel. Perhaps a half-hour of Bozo at Noon and the news pulled back to 30 minutes. I truly miss the gentle, easygoing atmosphere of the Hugh Downs-era Today and that's part of why I put a two-hour Morning News at 7:00 AM. I also miss the classic-era theatrical movie slots being on OTA stations, rather than the dump-'em-somewhere-on-the-weekend attitude there is nowadays. I could easily see having The Addams Family do alternate weeks with The Munsters (let's face it, they're almost identical concepts with different characters) and putting Get Smart in that Friday night slot; I'd also consider having The Jack Benny Program, which indeed did alternate weeks in its first decade or so, share the Sunday slot with The Phil Silvers Show. And I just might consider adding episodes of The Name of the Game and the 90-minute NBC Mystery Movie to the Movie of the Weekend slot...

...NO. Absolutely not. If ROH or TNA were food, I wouldn't serve it to a starving buzzard. Maybe an hour of CMLL or AAA with English commentary, or Championship Wrestling from Hollywood, but NOT those Junior McMahon clones...

Way too much thinking for me to come up with a 7 day a week schedule. SCTV would air Thursdays at 9 though. Garner Ted Armstrong on Sundays (no, I'm not a disciple of his, but he and his Dad were a fixture).

What no Fox or My Network TV programming to pad the schedule.

...it's bad enough that Rupert owns Batman and the MTM titles, as well as a lot of the ABC Movie of the Week items. I wouldn't put any more money in his pocket than absolutely necessary...
 
Just realized, there's no educational content on these schedules. How about moving "Sunrise Semester" (or its off-season replacement, "Summer Semester") into the weekday morning lineup before the other stuff starts? Or maybe finding a weekend hole for "You Are There," CBS News' re-creations of major historic events (two I remember vividly were the sinking of the Titanic and the death of Socrates) hosted by Walter Cronkite?

...wouldn't Jack LaLanne's show qualify as E/I? Sunrise Semester would certainly work, but how many tapes of it still exist anywhere?...
 
My dream programming would be as follows:
Roger Ramjet
The New 3 Stooges
Dodo The Kid from Outer Space
Speed Racer
Force 5
Voltron
Sailor Moon
Laff A Lympics
Krofft Supershow
Hello Kitty
Rayearth
Cardcaptors
Power Rangers
Space Pirate Captain Harlock
Volts 5
