Adam-12 ended in 1975, so this must be a syndicated rerun.
 
Yikes! I remember this summer in the Bangor market. B-O-R-I-N-G. Eddie Driscoll was down to just one half hour of "Dialing For Dollars", and no "My Backyard". Syndicated programming was boring on the first run level and the off network stuff was even worse. "Ironsides"? "Mod Squad"? I do remember laughing at "Happy Days" at 4:30. 7 would record it from earlier in the day. It always looked like a medium speed VHS copy with red and green prominent colors.

At least there was ABC captioned news on MPBN at 11:00.

Thanks for posting Bluenoser, but I'd rate this schedule a 2 out of 10.

Is the heat making me crabby or am I getting old?
 
Speaking of WVII (known in the Maritimes for putting the K in quality ;D), their logo at the time was somewaht unusual...thaink of a hybrid between the traditional Circle 7 (which the station has used since around the mid 90s IIRC) and the WKBW circle 7 (used through much of the 80s and into the early 90s), and you've got the idea...

Just curious..would you rather have the Bangoor channels back on Maritimes cable or are you happy with the Detroit/Boston lineups?

I don't mind the Boston ones (the Maritimes have had strong links with the New England states for years), but I'd rather see the Bangor ones on cable here, given there's a lot in common between Maine and the Maritimes.
