Both shows would eventually become series that fall -- the latter as "Moving On".

"Lucas Tanner", a drama taking place at a high school, starred David Hartman in the title role -- he would go on to become the first male host of "Good Morning America" when that started up a year later.

Yes he did, though I think he since sold it by this time.

The "Jack Paar" on at this time was a nationwide ABC program, as part of the "Wide World of Entertainment". Jack's show was seen only as a rotating qwheel that rotates once a month -- this month, it was Jack; Dick Cavett and someone (or something) else was part of that wheel. Jack and Dick would be off ABC by 1975.
