Usually, on many PBS stations during this era, when multiple episodes of Sesame Street and Electric Company are scheduled on weekend mornings, they're different repeats of successive episodes shown during the week, not the same episode over and over again.
 
Always good to see more SF Bay Area TVG listings, especially from the '70s! :)
(This is from a few months before I was born, so it's kind of like a history lesson.)
Interesting to see two English-language independents, San Jose's channel 36, and Sacramento's channel 40, carrying some Spanish-language 'peliculas', and other programming.
In that era, channel 14 was a PBS/educational channel,(its call sign refers to the College of San Mateo). Apparently, like many smaller PBS stations in that era, they were dark on weekends, even though they carried PBS children's shows, and might conceivably have re-aired them, as KQED 9 did.

KEMO, channel 20, ran some Spanish-language sports, variety programs, and 'peliculas', mostly from Mexico, on weekends and at night, and carried syndicated stock-markrt programming(the forerunner of Financial News Network, which was eventually taken over by CNBC).

In 1976, KDTV, channel 60, would sign on as a Spanish-language affiliate of SIN, now Univision. In 1979, KCSM, and KDTV swapped transmitters sites, and channel frequencies.

As for this program...

5-10-46 Flintstones (Comedy Hour?)


Pretty sure this was 'The Pebbles and Bamm Bamm Show', which was on for an hour. The Flintstone Comedy Show/Hour' came later, on NBC in the early 80s. As far as I know, CBS did not rerun the original '60s Flintstones cartoons. I've seen later TVG listings that gave the correct title for 'P & BB', so TV Guide must have corrected itself by the second season(believe this version lasted until 1977, when the 'Fred Flintstone and Friends' syndicated reruns began.)
 
Thanks for the correction/clarification; I went by early memories of the 'Fred and Friends' format in syndication, which lumped everything mentioned in that link under one, not-so-easy-to-keep-straight title.
At any rate, the 'Comedy Hour' title was changed to 'Comedy Show' in the fall...and so that was the title that lived on for the next (NBC) version in the '80s.
(Cue some Bedrock household animal wisecracking, 'Frankly, TV hasn't been the same since they cancelled 'Shinrock'!) ;D

I mainly remember when SS episodes were rerun on the weekend, it would often be that the first episode shown was the Monday episode, the second episode the Tuesday episode, etc. WGBH in Boston did that as late as 1995.

That ain't what TVG said :D...all the later listings refer to the first airing...
