Was there ever a special titled, "It's Earth Day, Charlie Brown"? ::)

Also, "Britannica" was a regular TV series, and not pre-emption of regular programming? (I see it on WJZ, as well.)

...I'm guessing Twiggy was using the week to kick-start promotion of her self-titled LP, the one with her version of the Country Joe & The Fish cover "Here I go again" on it, which Mercury Records had issued in the States after that track became a Top 20 hit in the UK...
 
The LA/Montreal hockey game was most likely part of a nationally-syndicated, time-buying TV package the league had starting in the mid-70s(after NBC dropped coverage). This was a weekly Monday-night game, airing mostly in markets that already had a team. (Known as 'The NHL Network', but not connected to the current cable channel of that name). Marv Albert called some of those telecasts, in addition to his local NY Rangers work. The Monday night package had the same problem hockey always has on network TV; lack of interest in non-NHL markets.

...one non-NHL market where the package ran was Milwaukee, but WTMJ-TV/4 stuck the thing in a tape-delay at 1:00 A.M. Tuesday mornings, right after Tomorrow with Tom Snyder from NBC...
