Was this (the '70-'71 "second season") where ABC programmed only 7:30-9:30 ET
on Saturday nights, having moved Lawrence Welk from 8:30 back to 7:30?

5:30 Call Of The West (selected "Death Valley Days" reruns)

Maybe they should have called the show "Death Valley Days Again". ;D (Aaaaaay!)
 
Did WXEX (WRIC) did the same thing for Dark Shadows' replacement Password when broadcasting the whole episodes on tape-delay on Saturdays or not cleared? And why?

I know that ABC ceased making B&W Kinescopes of Dark Shadows episodes around October 1970.
