the "tonight show" started out in new york city from 1954 to 1972. in may 1972, according to "wikipedia" the show moved to burbank, calif. (just outside los angeles).

jeffbob4343, would it have been better if "star trek" remained on thursdays for season 3 or kept the series on fridays throughout its run?

@PlaneAndTVtechfan notice "part" of the reason. They kept giving Rodenburry crap from day one. Fred Frieberger took over creative control in the 3rd season and kept allowing lame screenwriting & plots. They were on a extremely unfair paltry budget all the way through (at least compare to other shows at the time). Which by the way was amazing how they were able to work around it. However, I speculate that there was a vicious "unsilent minority" among network executives that just didn't like it.

@qttroassi That had absolutely nothing to do with it. NBC kept moving "Star Trek" to different days/times. And back in the 1960's, there were simple promos, no flashy computer graphics or animation.

@StooGP - In contrast to only two times (November 1972 and May 1973) when Carson did a few weeks in New York after moving permanently to Burbank.

@2007skaterpunk - However, in its first twelve months in Burbank, "The Tonight Show" made two return visits to New York, in November 1972 and May 1973. The last of those visits spawned the bit where drummer Buddy Rich demonstrated his karate skills; and another bit with a foot reader.

Now I can understand part of the reason why Star Treks original series did'nt do so well. That was thee most shitfull televised network promotion I have ever seen-period ...

In those days, 'NONE', U.S. network prime-time schedules began at 7:30pm(et) instead of 8 [as it does now]. NBC scheduled "DANIEL BOONE" at 7:30pm on Thursdays, and they figured "STAR TREK" would be a good "fit" for those looking for more "action/adventure" at 8:30. Of course, they moved it to Fridays at 8:30pm in the fall of '67 because they thought "TARZAN" was an even "better fit". Leave it to Raymond Burr's "IRONSIDE" to flouish at 8:30 on Thursdays for the next four seasons...

I know if you lived in the Central Time Zone, programs that would start at 8 PM would start at 7PM. I noticed that when I visited my cousins in Beaumont, Texas in the 1970's. I don't knoe if they still do it or not. Come to think of it, the country was split in two, so I think the shows that would start at 8 PM would start at 9 PM in the Mountain Tine Zone.

The opening at 3:13, 'Raven', was for a special edition of "NBC TUESDAY NIGHT AT THE MOVIES" on October 24, 1967, which began at 7:30pm(et) that evening; which is why "I DREAM OF JEANNIE" and "THE JERRY LEWIS SHOW" were pre-empted. After 3:43, they switched to a montage of footage from "A Hard Day's Night", as an announcer trumpted the television "World Premiere" of the film...
