Originally scheduled for Tuesdays at 8pm(et)- on CBS programmer Mike Dann's insistence, becauase he felt she wasn't going to be a success, and tried to "bury" it between "TO ROME WITH LOVE" and "HEE HAW"- Fred Silverman, who succeeded Dann in July 1970, believed Mary's program deserved a fighting chance.......and essentially "ripped up" Dann's Tuesday night lineup (moving "THE BEVERLY HILLBILLIES" and "GREEN ACRES" before "HEE HAW", and "TO ROME WITH LOVE" after it), placing Mary on Saturday nights at 9:30 [following another urban sitcom, "ARNIE"] just before the season began.
@@marcchristie180 "The Best Television on Television" I do not have. I was able to get most when I was a teenager. '71 forward. Still looking for 1975. It's gotta be somewhere Marc. We should talk sometime. Thanks!
