Haven't done this in a bit, but, hey.
ABC relied heavily on reruns for the 1970-1 season. Check the ad that appeared in some of your favorite comics, and elsewhere, that summer:
Times listed are for the Central time zone. All of the shows in the ad have all been previously reviewed. Not included in the ad, since it was aimed for the kiddo's, is American Bandstand, which anchored the bottom end of the lineup at 12:30 (ET) until ABC cancelled the series several years later.
To refresh, Motormouse & Autocat was spun off from Cattanooga Cats. Reruns of It's The Wolf!, starring Allan Melvin (who was recurring on The Brady Bunch) & an uncredited Paul Lynde (Bewitched, Hollywood Squares), filled out the half hour. Reruns of Cattanooga Cats, with Around The World in 79 Days as the backup, moved to Sundays.
Wikipedia (take it with a grain of salt) says ABC gave the 8-9 (ET) hour back to affiliates during the winter. How WAST (now WNYT), the ABC affiliate back then, filled that time during the winter of 1971, I don't know, but can look it up another time.
