This was when Fred Silverman left CBS to joined the network, but he moved The Edge of Night to ABC under Silverman's watch, and doubled the top prize of The $10,000 Pyramid the following year, and killed three game shows Let's Make a Deal, Rhyme and Reason and Break the Bank in order to do the replacements whom served Hot Seat, Family Feud and the 45-minute expansions of One Life to Live and General Hospital.
in the beginning of the promo with the "Welcome to A Bright New World of ABC" they referenced its disastrous 1974-75 season in the lyrics ("You'll see great changes made this fall on ABC").
When everypne watched the same 4 channels, tv shows & commercials…… tv commercials were viewed mpre often & were much more important, interesting & entertaining then. I would love to go back & live as an Dult - just to see whar it was like. Thnx for the post!!!
This season's promotional package seems to be what ITV in the UK used during their industrial action (strike) as you see their "Welcome home to ITV - Were back!" promo fits right into the ABC promotion here.
Barbary Coast, a new western entry was however penciled in on the Monday night slot, where The Rookies has been penciled in the Monday night slot, and moved to Tuesdays and pencil out ABC Wednesday Movie of the Week.

+Geoff Chisholm It looks like it's going to melt the film while it's stayed frozen. They should've used the "Please Stand By" slide with the announcer saying "We are experiencing technical difficulties, please stand by!"
Bicentennial? Turns out America invented slavery, discovered colonization, imperialism and genocide, all by her own little lonesome! All the other nations were a pure as snow!
