The "Honeymooners" installment of this night's Gleason show was the very last original show of the series: an episode entitled "Operation Protest," with Tom Ligon as Alice's protesting nephew Clifford. From then until the last network airing of The Jackie Gleason Show on Sept. 12, 1970, it was all reruns, all the time - and all Honeymooners. As for the others on WCBS-TV's prime time lineup: The My Three Sons episode was "The Honeymoon Is Over"; Green Acres' installment was titled "The Case of the Hooterville Refund Fraud"; and the Petticoat Junction episode aired on this date was "Whiplash, Whiplash." At WNBC-TV, the Adam-12 episode was "Log 124 - Airport."

There is a link below to a New Jersey newspaper which will give you all you need on the New York City movie umbrellas as of this date (scroll down to p. 46 and go from there - alas, this was from the prior week, but you'll get an idea as to what was used by whom and when) :

But in a nutshell:
WCBS-TV: 11:30p - The Late Show; 1:30a - The Late Show II; 3:35a - The Late Late Show I; 5:05a - The Late Late Show II
WNBC-TV: 1:15a - The Great Great Show
WNEW-TV: 10:30a - Shirley Temple Theatre; noon - Eastside Comedy; 8:30p - Creature Features

WOR-TV: 11:00a - Mad, Mad Movie; 12:30p - East Side Kids; 2:00p - Movie 9; 4:00p - Million Dollar Movie; 11:30p - The Late Movie
