The Redskins weren't playing? Or were the mandatory blackout rules (all home games blacked out regardless) still in effect?

To answer both posters' questions:

1. Re the football schedule, I have to believe the blackout
was in effect. At the time the NFL still had a 14-game schedule,
and I don't recall teams getting a bye week.

2. Can anyone who lived in a market with a Metromedia station
help on the Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour question? I still see them
occasionally on KTTV, chopped into two-parters and running as
We Love Lucy.
