WFTV Ch. 9 Orlando (ABC)

7:30 Beagles (delay from Sun 4 PM)

10:55 Children's Doctor
...was The Beagles still on CBS at that time (and WTVT pre-empted it), or had ABC picked up the reruns for that season? Also curious as to how many stations ran Dark Shadows tape-delayed/kinescoped in the mornings rather than the afterschool network pattern that led to its becoming a highschoolers' cult favourite. Also assuming that the Children's Doctor was Dr. Lendon Smith, who did a five-minute spot on ABC in later years, listed under his name in most editions of TV Guide...
 
"The Beagles" was rerunning on ABC after having
spent the previous season on CBS. At the time,
ABC programmed kids' shows late Sunday afternoons
against football on CBS and NBC during the fall.
"Tennessee Tuxedo" aired at 4:30, IIRC.

I couldn't tell you how many stations carried "Dark
Shadows" in the morning; I know WRAL Raleigh and
WBRC Birmingham did. But both stations, as well as
WFTV, eventually moved it to the afternoon.

And "The Children's Doctor" is indeed Dr. Lendon Smith;
some editions of TV Guide noted that fact. That series
lasted until 1969; he's probably best known as a regular
on "Good Morning America."
 
A note about "The Beagles":if CBS had still
been carrying it, and it was pre-empted in
Orlando, WDBO (WKMG) would have done so;
WTVT is in Tampa. The ABC affiliate in the Bay Area,
WLCY (WTSP), did not carry the show. It had movies
at that time on Sundays, and local programming in
the early morning Monday-Saturday, with religious
programs up to 9:30 AM on Sunday.

It's quite likely that Ch. 6 would have carried the
show on Sunday afternoons if CBS had had it; as it was,
it carried reruns of "Celebrity Game" at 5 PM, followed
by "Ted Mack's Amateur Hour" at 5:30. WTVT, by
contrast, carried Gadabout Gaddis's fishing show,
followed by "The 21st Century" on a week's delay.

BTW, at the request of its creator, the entire
series has been destroyed (go to ToonTracker).
Shame, since Stringer and Tubby are either an
animated Abbott and Costello or Martin and Lewis,
I was never sure which. The songs are passable.
But it's strange that CBS ever dropped the show,
since it was easily winning the 12:30-1 PM (ET)
slot on Saturdays in the 1966-67 season.
