Quite a few pre-emptions and delays on Tuesday nights
in those days: Channel 4, IIRC, pre-empted Jerry Lewis'
variety show at 7:30 and delayed Diahann Carroll's "Julia"
to Fridays at 7 (check this for me). Channel 13 delayed
"It Takes A Thief" to Sundays at 6, and I've forgotten if
"Mod Squad" was also delayed to Sundays (I'm thinking
it aired at 5).

However, Channel 13 did, starting in January, carry "Mod
Squad" and "It Takes A Thief" in pattern, moving its movie
to Monday night, moving "Peyton Place" from 8:30 to 9:30,
and delaying "The Outcasts" to a Thursday slot opened up
by ABC. Also, on Dec. 30, 1968, it began airing "Dream House"
at 1 PM, following "Funny You Should Ask," which moved to
12:30 when "Let's Make A Deal" moved to ABC. Mike Douglas
would move to Channel 4 in the summer of '69 to replace Merv
Griffin, who was moving to CBS.
 
1:30pm: Let's Make a Deal (Monty Hall, final year on NBC)
2:00pm: Days of our Lives
2:30pm: The Doctors
3:00pm: Another World

That's what my late grandmom watched, every day. That stuck even when LMAD switched to ABC.
