This was the "Saturday Superstar Movie", but is always identified in TV Guide merely as "movie".

This was actually "The New Scooby Doo Movies", also merely ID'd as "movie".

Another "Saturday Superstar Movie", but seen directly off the network (WFTV delayed theirs a week).

Were these the same episodes, or was WFTV's delayed?

A theatrical version of a TV kiddie show, with "Officer Joe" Bolton hosting some Three Stooges shorts.

Since this was the ABC Saturday Superstar Movie,I wonder if the real-life cast of Lost In Space voiced the characters.

The way it was back then without the hoopla and the halftime shows at all. Miami won 24 to 7 to win their 2nd Super Bowl in a row,the previous season is where Miami had their perfect season and won Super Bowl VII.

Where were WAWS and WNFT at the time?

Probably the same. Make A Wish aired at 11:30 AM on ABC.
WFTV had the First Baptist Church of Orlando from 11-12, IIRC.

To answer some other questions:

"Roller Game" is a different organization than "Roller
Derby," based in Philadelphia, IIRC. Channel 17 in Atlanta
used to show "Roller Game" on Saturday mornings. It's the
same "sport," just a different group of teams.

WAWS and WNFT were not yet on the air.

During the 1973/74 season, NBC broadcast Sunday-afternoon NHL games.

However, due to Super Bowl VIII (although on another network), I seem to recall that instead of a game on Sunday the 13th of January, there was one on Saturday the 12th.

Which means that at least that week, NBC's NHL coverage was not available in northern Florida. Whether the NBC stations in the area carried the games in the usual Sunday-afternoon timeslot, maybe someone can find that out.

According to Shrp sports.com, here was the NHL schedule of January 12th, 1974:

* Montreal at Boston
* St. Louis at Toronto
* New York Rangers at Vancouver
* New York Islanders at Minnesota
* Los Angeles at Detroit
* Buffalo at Pittsburgh

I suspect the games in Toronto and Vancouver were at night as regional "Hockey Night In Canada" telecasts on CBC (this was back before "HNIC" started broadcasting doubleheaders every Saturday), and the games in Minnesota and Pittsburgh were between teams that were (at the time) not among the league's more elite clubs.

I would think the most likely NBC telecast that day was Montreal at Boston, since both were among the top teams in the league at the time.

You are correct, sir, in both recollection and the teams involved. It was a 3:30 telecast (source Syracuse Herald Journal).<P ID="edit"><FONT class="small">Edited by mmb5 on 01/13/06 07:36 PM.</FONT></P>

After checking the TV Guide, I found to believe that the episode that aired on WFTV was not the same as the one on WJKS (WJWB) and WCJB. While the episode listed for WFTV gave no description, there was a description for the episode that aired on WJKS and WCJB.

And, yes, "Make a Wish" aired at 9:30 a.m. on all three ABC stations listed in this edition, because WFTV and WCJB were airing Church services during the 11:00 hour. WJKS, on the other hand, aired "H.R. Pufnstuf" and "Underway for Peace", which was probably a religious show.

On a sort-of-unrelated note, one of these (I think "Roller Derby") was seen on then-Classic Sports Network in the late-'90s (at least during the time ESPN acquired the channel and added the ESPN branding to it, later renaming it ESPN Classic)

Maybe, or maybe WFTV forgot to give the information to TV Guide.
