10 PM Dean Martin Summer Show With Rowan And Martin (COLOR)

By January 1967 the NBC Thursday Lineup would be:

7:30 Daniel Boone
8:30 Ironside (Premiere Sept. 1966)
9:30 Dragnet (67, 68, 69, 70)
10:00 Dean Martin Show..

And would remain so until September 1970, when Dragnet and Daniel Boone were Canceled..

 

[bpatrick]

"Ironside" didn't debut until September 1967. The fall 1966
NBC Thursday-night lineup was:

7:30 Daniel Boone
8:30 Star Trek
9:30 The Hero (Richard Mulligan, better known from "Soap",
as a TV Western hero who's a klutz at home--this was
replaced by the new "Dragnet" in January 1967)
10 PM Dean Martin Show

The biggest disaster of the entire 1966-67 season involved a
Thursday-night show on ABC: "The Tammy Grimes Show," about
an heiress whose near-compulsion to spend has to be checked by
her rather stuffy brother, played by Dick Sargent. The show lasted
only four weeks (Sept. 8-29) and was replaced on Oct. 6 by a primetime
version of "The Dating Game."

Your absolutely correct..And I knew that Ironside debuted a year later..

And that stinker was a natural for inclusion into the 1980 book The Worst TV Shows Ever. YouTube has one of the episodes up (albeit in the form of a B&W kinescope), where Dick Sargent was actually credited as "Richard" Sargent.
