WMAQ 5-NBC Chicago
3:30 Mike Douglas (co-host Don Meredith/guests Howard Cosell, Frank Gifford, Alan Sues, Ray Stevens, Hyman Jampol, Heather Menzies, and a trained snake)
...I'm assuming the appearances of Ms. Menzies and the trained snake (no, not Mr. Cosell!) were to promote the film Sssssss, in which Ms. Menzies played the daughter of a snake researcher played by the late great Strother Martin...
 
Where were all the asinine "court" shows and the bloated, idiotic "news" shows during the day? Where was "I banged everyone within five trailer parks, who my babydaddy?" Where did it all go so horribly, horribly wrong? (BTW. Small claims court is NOTHING LIKE THAT!)
 
Don't you know that the court and "trash talk" shows
didn't start taking over daytime until the '80s? :) In
the '70s it was still soaps, games, and (with the exception
of Phil Donahue), celebrity-oriented talk shows. I miss those
days.

BTW, I noticed the Lee Phillip show on WBBM. For those who
don't know, she was married to Bill Bell; the two of them created
what--come this Friday--will be the last two soaps left on CBS:
"The Young And The Restless" and "The Bold And The Beautiful".
 
I think the James Garner show on ABC late night was part of the "Wide World Of Entertainment" series that included "In Concert", "Goodnight America" with Geraldo Rivera, and lots of specials like the Garner special and retrospectives on "What's My Line?" and "Candid Camera".

Also, this must have been near the end of the line for "The Ann Colone Show" on Channel 15 in Fort Wayne. It was similar to shows like Bob Braun's in Cincinnati, with lots of audience participation, and some occasional visits from CBS stars.
 
The Garner special did air on "Wide World" (notice the time).
IIRC, at the time ABC was still airing Dick Cavett one week
out of the month, Jack Paar one week, and the other two
devoted to "Wide World Specials," "Wide World Mysteries,"
and "In Concert."
 
IIRC, the first Monday-night football game of the season
aired the following Monday; September 17 was my first
night living in a college dorm and I could hear the game
from the TV room down the hall. Remember that at the
time the season was only 14 games.
