I wondered if anyone knew in 1977 that in 2012 that Ch. 5 would own Ch. 9 ,Ch. 4 would own Ch. 47 ,Ch. 13 would own Ch. 21 ,Ch. 31 becoming an Indy station. That 1977 listings look great to watch better than what airs during the day these days. Ch. 9 was almost a ESPN-like station on prime time and weekends with their airing of Sports.
 
"WNEW 5-Ind New York (a station TVG ad claims that ch 5 had higher ratings than 2 of the Big 3 affiliates-which ones were they?)"

Back in 1977, ABC was the #1 network in daytime and prime time viewing nationally and in NYC, and WABC-TV was then (as AFAIK it still is today) the most-watched local news outlet in the market; so that means WNEW was in second place behind market-leading WABC in 1977--and that WCBS and WNBC were trailing it.

5:00 Los Tres Chiflados (bw/Stooges?)

Yep. This was the only way you could watch The Three Stooges in New York. WPIX pulled them off the air in 1970 due to Peggy Charren and her ACT nosybodies. 11 Alive brought them back in 1979, heavily butchered. :mad:

By the 60's, when the Stooges were rather aged and doing feature films, they had toned down some of the extreme violent schtick, partly in response to such criticism. This led to a delightful "in your face" in-joke in "The Three Stooges Go Around the World in a Daze" when they turn the tables on three would-be Chinese brainwashers, who emerge looking like the Stooges and replicating their physical slapstick. When one of them pokes the other in the eyes, Moe chides him paternally, advising him that "we don't do that anymore." ;D
 
WOR TV had Phil Donahue in mornings in 77???? I remember they had audio news at 730 AM, civic public affiars stuff at 8, Joe Franklin at 8:30, Lassie at 9:30, Romper Room still at 10, Straight talk still at 11, News at noon, and Donahue at 12:30...rest of teh day I do recall - I do remember they had Voyage to Bottom Of Sea at 6 p.m. in the beginning of 77 but switched to Daniel Boone at some point in the winter -- do not remember the week. Still 9 was the station I rarely watched --- But I kept track of what all the stations were running - I also recall Channel 5 moved Brady Bunch to 7 and My Three Sons to 6 in january after they dumped Lost In Space and switched from the old Mickey Mouse Club to the new one. WPIX seems pretty accurate but I swear they had Gilligan's Island sometime during the day....I do recall a week later that WOR TV dropped Celebrety Revue and added Topper at 130 and the movie then began at 2...
