7 PM Flintstones

It is weird to see this show listed at such a prime timeslot. I realize the show was not originally intended to be geared toward kids... but it just happened to end up being show in mornings or afternoons on many independent stations in the ensuing two or three decades.
 
"Action 69"? On Pat Robertson's channel?
Sounds like something you'd find on Cinemax along around 3AM. ;D
