This was the day Schoolhouse Rock debuted Grammar Rock with "A Noun is a Person, Place or Thing". My previous schedule from Chicago was for Multiplication Rock. I will be listing the stations I received that time in Bay Area.

NOTE: All UHF stations were independent then.

P - (Series) Premiere
SP - Season Premiere
The networks' Saturday morning schedule premiered the week before. New programs will be marked with a 'P' as well.
