Retro: Fall 1959, 50 years ago

Question: If Rocky and His Friends didn't debut until November of that year, what exactly was the checkerboard schedule for the 5:30 slot before then?

Good question. I remember the original R&HFs on ABC but it seems to me it aired in 1959/60 on Monday,Wednesday and Friday with the other days airing reruns of Rin Tin Tin and Circus Boy.
...but that is what my memory serves me after fifty years.

But I still to this day remember the debut segments of the Rocket Fuel/Mooseberry Bush episodes of Rocky and Bullwinkle. The Counterfeit Boxtops were second in the series.

The "rabbit outta my hat" bumpers by Bullwinkle originally had Rocky introducing the Fractured Fairy Tales and Mr. Peabody at the end.
