Now under Fox ownership, is that still their address today?

> 8:00 My Favorite Martian (animated)
> 9:00 I Dream of Jeannie (animated)

I think these were live-action reruns, which replaced CBS's animated fare locally. The animated versions were called "My Favorite Martians" (note the plural) and "Jeannie", respectively.

Did the listings say what was Lou's topic that night? He was known for stirring up controversy.

I also see an omission of another show in here that aired on Saturday mornings on CBS in 1974-1975 and that is the animated version of The Partridge Family called Partridge Family 2200 A.D. in which the family lived in outer space.

-----------
I doubt that was ever their address to begin with. They moved to 16550 West Nine Mile Road in 1970, where they remain today.

The only possibility I can see is that there was a Storer Place that was originally a municipal street that became merely a driveway off Nine Mile. CFTO-TV in Toronto is located on Channel Nine Court to this day, but technically they could change the address to McCowan Road, as Channel Nine Court is really just a long driveway running off McCowan nowadays, and CFTO is the only building there.<P ID="signature">______________

> While the names of the animated versions of "My Favorite
Martian" and "I Dream Of Jeannie" are, indeed, "My Favorite
Martians" and "Jeannie," CBS did air them at 8 AM and 9 AM,
respectively, in the summer of 1975 (Castleman and Podrazik,
"The TV Schedule Book"). I tend to believe it's a mistake
on the part of the Detroit News TV editor, who probably used
the more familiar titles out of habit or some other reason.
(I notice, too, on the Detroit listings for the preceding Tuesday
that the live-action "I Dream Of Jeannie" aired on Channel 9.)
