This entire promo show is great for many reasons, but that one is something I find fascinating!

This was SUPPOSED to be their Fall 1974 schedule. However, that June, the FCC ruled the three broadcast networks weren't going to program any shows on Saturdays and Sundays from 7-8pm(et), as previously promised. So all three had to reshuffle their schedules, dropping several new shows and moving others to different time periods than previously announced that spring. ABC dropped "WHERE'S THE FIRE?" (Sundays, 7pm)- although its two pilot episodes were "burned off" in the summer of '75...
