Lotta oddball time slots in these listings: MacNeil/Lehrer at 8am, Dr. Who at 6pm, and the gritty Australian drama "Prisoner: Cell Block H" in the afternoon (right before Bewitched!). Plus thanks for reminding me of PBS's "Art Cart". I remember that from childhood but there is no trace of it online and I was wondering if I had imagined it or it was a strictly local show.

Yes, I will. Sorry for not doing so. For these, they are the Buffalo News, Rochester Democrat and Chronicle, Ithica Journal (from newspapers.com), and Syracuse Post Standard (from newspaperarchive.com). Again, my apologies for omitting my sources.

I tried messaging you, but it seems you don't allow that.

I'm adding the sources to my previous posts. I hope we're still good.

I hope I didn't offend you, by the way you're messaging.

Thank you. I am not offended and I hope I did not offend you.

Thank you. I am not offended and I hope I did not offend you.

From the way you phrased your reply, it seemed like an annoyed tone. I'm very fragile with such responses. Anyway, thanks for responding kindly.

As always, thanks for sharing @RandTV !!

Sad only WIXT aired Edge of Night and in an AM time slot at best.

WUHF’s 9PM movie, Call Me Bwana was famous for its movie poster being seen in From Russia With Love along with the classic “she should have kept her mouth shut” after Bond shot a sniper hanging out of Anita Ekberg's mouth.
