Retro: Sacramento/Reno - Saturday, December 3, 1977

I spent that weekend at a Lake Tahoe house that a friend of my mom's rented out to. I remember having to wait for the Krofft Supershow on ABC, which was delayed to the afternoon by two NCAA football games.

Around the next month or so, C.B. Bears became a component of the two-hour Go Go Globetrotters show on NBC. Meanwhile on CBS, the Skatebirds show got splintered as the Robonic Stooges segment got its own time period (billed as The Three Robonic Stooges).

Beautiful PBS Special Holiday Programming like The Snow Goose, A Gift to Last!!
On this date is where many PBS stations (including my local PBS station: KPBS 15 in San Diego) continuing their "A Different Picture for the Holidays" Membership Pledge Drive-11 Nights of Outstanding Programming(November 26- December 6th, 1977)!!
 
I don't remember watching "Nestor" at that Tahoe cabin. The other Saturdays that late fall in which KOLO ch. 8 aired the "Krofft Supershow" at 4:00 PM were Oct. 15, Nov. 5, and Nov. 26. The latter date was the Thanksgiving weekend, so that may have been the most likely date of that trip, but it's a great retro schedule nonetheless!
