This was The Lucy Show. The main reason I come to this conclusion is because at 5:30 PM the listing reads "I Love Lucy" if it reads I Love Lucy in one place it would read that in both places if its the same show.

> 5 PM I Love Lucy

I think you're right. Anyway, the Atlanta newspapers
could have done its readers a big favor by simply saying

9:30 Lucy Show

(and they'd have done me one for sure).

It has. I've posted other Atlanta daytime listings for 1977
(don't think it was this particular date). Ch. 5 never
showed much enthusiasm for daytime Match Game. In fact,
there were times between 1973 and 1976 when neither 5 nor
11 carried their 3:30 network show (11 liked to pre-empt
One Life To Live in favor of a movie, then run OLTL in the
morning). Reason: Another World, then on Ch. 2, was a
monster lead-in to whatever followed it, depending on the
year.

Ch. 5 displayed even less enthusiasm for Tattletales.
I remember they carried it at 1 PM in 1974, but that
was about the extent of it. If you'll look in the June 6,
1983, listing I posted in tandem with this one, you'll see
that Ch. 36 is carrying it.

I'll also call your attention to the fact that Ch. 2 did
not run the daytime Gong Show, but did air the syndicated
version Fridays at 7:30 in 1977.
