Next week marks the 45th anniversary for ABC's All-Star Saturday block, marking the premieres of Challenge of The Super Friends and Fangface. Scooby's All-Star Laff-a-Lympics was rechristened Scooby's All-Stars for its 2nd & final season. The Krofft Supershow was gone after 2 seasons, but the show's hosts, Kaptain Kool & The Kongs, spent some time on NBC's ill-fated Krofft Superstar Hour, though half the band (Michael Lembeck & Debra Clinger) were pulling double duty in primetime (One Day at a Time & The American Girls, respectively, for CBS). The Pink Panther, after 9 seasons on NBC, moved to ABC, but for some reason, the ABC launch was delayed three weeks.
Following is an ad for the Central time zone.
Yes, they were short on original programming again, hence Scooby-Doo Where Are You? reruns on the schedule. Not included is the ABC Weekend Special, which was also in its 2nd season. After a few weeks, the reruns were tossed aside, and Challenge was expanded to 90 minutes to include repeats from the previous season's All-New Super Friends Hour.
