No, actually Doctor Max (local children's show) went from 4:00 to 5:30.
The Flintstones ran within Dr. Max.

I thought by this time, some fourteen months into Somerset's
run, that it was using Somerset as the title, and not Another
World/Somerset.

Somerset was a soap opera which lasted on NBC from 1970 to 1976. One of its supporting cast members would go on to become a huge name as Sam Malone on Cheers,Ted Danson.

The show took several characters from Another World, which
took place in Bay City, and moved them into a new setting.
Somerset, however, was more a crime show like The Edge Of
Night; I think its head writer had worked on Edge.

Somerset ran from March 30, 1970 to December 31, 1976.
