I need to make a correction. I'm so used to listing Carol Burnett on
CBS stations Saturdays at 10 that I forget sometimes that she did not
move to that timeslot until December 1972. The 10 PM program on WCHS
should be "Mission: Impossible."

At the time (October) Carol aired Wednesdays at 8 (ET); Sonny and Cher
aired Fridays at 8. As of December, Carol moved to Saturdays at 10, Sonny
and Cher to her former Wednesday slot, and "Mission: Impossible" to Fridays
at 8 (although it was Carol's summer replacement in 1973).
 
and NBC aired an episode of "Emergency!" in that year called "Peace Pipe" too.
