That could have been some interesting viewing.

I remember Channel 27 preempting The Waltons until Saturday afternoon. What did Channel 27 air Thursday night?
 
Movies from 7 to 9. I should add that at that point
"The Waltons" was getting clobbered by Flip Wilson,
and that around Christmas an ad ran in The New York
Times, the major newsmagazines, and perhaps other
big-city papers, urging viewers to "Save the Waltons".
No one will ever know if that ad campaign did the trick,
but by the summer of '73 "The Waltons" cracked the
top 20; it was the number-two-rated primetime show for
1973-74, and it knocked Geraldine, Rev. Leroy, et. al., off
the air.

I also didn't realize that "I Am Woman" became the number-
one song that weekend; I knew it was popular at the time,
but that was news to me.

...as far as Cash Box's chart goes, it only cracked the Top 10 that weekend; it didn't hit #1 until http://cashboxmagazine.com/archives/70s_files/19721216.html December 16, five weeks later. Dunno what the situation was on the Billboard Hot 100, but I suspect it wasn't radically different...
 
My mistake; I misread what you put up. Interestingly,
Helen Reddy became so identified with that song that
many people thought she was some sort of radical
feminist; she spent years denying it.
