Phyllis indeed starred in "THE PRUITTS OF SOUTHAMPTON" on ABC, which became "THE PHYLLIS DILLER SHOW" in mid-season before it was cancelled at the end of the 1966-'67 season. She also had a short-lived NBC variety show, "THE BEAUTIFUL PHYLLIS DILLER SHOW", in the fall of '68.
I don't think she had her own show at that time - "The Pruitts of Southampton" ran 1966-7 but may have still been re-run in 1968 or 1969; otherwise she was guest starring on other programs.
Yes she had a '68 series, but not on ABC. She had "The Beautiful Phyllis Diller Show" in 1968 on NBC according to tvparty and memorabletv. Both TV series were short-lived ("Pruitts"/reformatted"Phyllis Diller Show", 1966-67, ABC, 1 season; BPDS, 13 episodes 1968, NBC).

This has to be around that time after when the late Ernie Anderson left Cleveland for Los Angeles.

Marcus Welby is a good show. I still watch it on RTV (retro television). BTW don't squeeze Danny's duck. These were some great old shows.

"Marcus Welby, M.D." was the first A.B.C. series to make it to #1.

@brickchruch I think she had a show in the mid-70s. I think I remember watching it when I was a kid.

I see that on the "Peyton Place" promo, Ernie Anderson is doing ABC promos that early. As to the promos:
"Peyton Place" - 1967-68
"It Takes a Thief" - 1968-69
"Marcus Welby, M.D." - 1970-71
"The Partridge Family" - 1970-71 (this promo showed clips from the episode "Danny and the Mob," and the song heard here was "I'm On the Road")
"The Courtship of Eddie's Father" - 1969-70
Hence, the heading is spot-on.
