Funny that KHQA would show "The Partridge Family" just before "All In The Family", given that PF had just been canceled on account of AITF.
 
WGEM - 10 Quincy (NBC)

7:30 PM Adam-12

delay from Tuesday at 7:00 PM

Did they pre-empt Emergency! because they were showing Lawrence Welk at 6:30 PM? Did they air it on another day like they did with Adam-12?

KHQA Hannibal-Quincy 7 (CBS)

11:00 Death Valley Days

These were new syndicated episodes that featured Merle Haggard as narrator.

I thought about mentioning the pre-emption of "Emergency!" when I posted this. Yep, it was aired on Tuesday from 6:30-7:30 (Central, of course ::)) at least for the '74-'75 season. I have a vague memory of watching it at least once and then going outside and tearing around on my bike, pretending to be Gage & DeSoto ;D

Thanks for the info on the two westerns, I have no recollection of them, 11:00 being past my bedtime at age 8 :) My earliest memories of late Sat. night on KHQA is 2 solid hours of country music, the lineup I remember being:

Marty Robbins' Spotlight
That (Good Ol') Nashville Music
Nashville On the Road
Pop! Goes the Country

My Dad liked all these, especially Marty Robbins. This was probably from about '76 to '79 or '80.

The movie at 8:00 was almost certainly NBC Saturday Night at the Movies. And a 2 1/2 hr. one on this particular night

Seems like they aired the reruns of TPF for several years at various times. Someone at the station must have liked it ;D. They ran "Bewitched" pretty hot 'n heavy, too.

Pitting anything against AITF in those days had to be the kiss of death. "Emergency!" hung on for quite awhile, but as noted, our NBC affiiliate pre-empted it to Tuesday, during this season anyway.
 
Was KHQA running "Hee Haw" during this period? I had always kind of assumed KHQA picked up the show in syndication when it left CBS in 1971, but I was just a baby then. Throughout the late '70s thru '90 or '91, KHQA ran "Hee Haw" on Saturdays at 6PM. I seem to have a vague memory of "Hee Haw" being on Tuesday nights back in the mid-'70; can anybody verify if and when it was on and what CBS show(s) got pre-empted or delayed?

I'm also to young remember when "Hee Haw" was still CBS property (I was 5 in '71), but I'd be willing to make the assumption that KHQA carried it from begining to end, both network & the lonnnnng syndication run. It was on Tuesdays from 6:30-7:30 for a few seaons, most likely from '72 to '75. They pre-empted first "Maude" and later "Good Times", and aired them on Sunday night at 9:30, which was an empty spot in the CBS schedule during those seasons. Not sure exactly when it began its long stay on Saturdays at 6:00, probably not long after this.

KTVO aired it on Sundays at 5:00 for quite awhile in the 70's, but I think they had disowned it by the begining of the 80's. KHQA even aired the short-lived (and pretty awful) spin-off "Hee Haw Honeys" in '78-'79, Sundays at 10:30 I believe.
 
Thanks for the "Hee Haw"/KHQA info. I also recall the Sunday 5PM airings of "Hee Haw" on KTVO. KTVO dropped the show in the late '70s (I think), and then brought it back for a time later in the '80s, running it Saturdays at 10:30PM.
 
The wrestling was either Bill Watts or Bob Geigel's Central States. Am I right?
 
Actually the wrestling may have been Leroy Mcgurk's Tri States group. Watts did not start promoting the Deep South until the late 70;s.

It was Bob Geigel's Central States from Kansas City. Bill Kerstin was the long time announcer (Hellooooooooooooo Wrestling Fans!! ;D) and the memorable stars were Harley Race, Bulldog Bob Brown, Rufus R. Jones, Bruiser (King Kong) Brody, and many, many others that came and went. WGEM and KTVO both carried it for a time, the late Sat. night run on WGEM is the last I remember. Disappeared in the early-mid 80's, coinciding with the advent of major cable and Vinnie's soap-operatization (My own word ::)) of wrestling :mad:
