This may actually be its animated spinoff, "Partridge Family: 2200 AD", which featured the family about 230 years into the future.

Given the time slot, you're probably right...the Herald's listings weren't what could be called overly detailed :D
 
Wasn't there a law at the time where Canadian cable systems were limited to two US network affiliates (excluding PBS)? This may explain why there was no NBC.

There never was such a law. Most cities carried at least one, if not two or even three each of the NBC, CBS, and ABC affiliates. London, Ont. carried three NBC affiliates (WKYC, WDIV, WICU) originally.

There were, however, some cities located far enough away from the border that only carried a couple American stations back then; perhaps this was due to the cost of relaying the stations long distances to areas like St. John's.

From what I've read about Calgary, prior to 1975 both CFAC and CFCN aired very limited local news, and CBRT aired the market's first hour-long newscast.
 
The Santa Claus Parade may be Eaton's department store-
sponsored parade in Toronto. CBS used to show highlights
of it on its Thanksgiving Parade Jubilee.

Also, I see International Badminton. Bet that was exciting. ::)

I can see that Canada was way, way more sexually liberated than Western Pennsylvania
in 1974! Could not have imagined that running here without howls of protest from the PTA
and Knights of Columbus.
