* Pacific Time
* With the cancellation of Password and several shows, ABC debuted Showoffs
to follow the Central zone time slotting at 11am, and shifted the cancelled Money Maze,
which was in reruns, to NOON until another game show premiered the following week.
ABC now had three shows in CT time slots, five in ET time slots, and two that followed
no zone time slot.

1975/12/29:
* Pacific Time
* The West coast feed gets even more convoluted! The cancellation of Showoffs caused
a host of time slot variations. On the East Coast, they shifted "LMAD" to noon/11CT,
but kept it at 1:30 on the West. "Rhyme" shifted from 2:30pm to 1:30pm on the East,
but shifted from 11:30pm to 11:00pm on the West. "The Neighbors" aired simultaneously
on the West and East at 11:30am PT/2:30pm ET.

* The schedule has two shows following CT slotting, four following ET slotting, and
four more that don't follow any zone slotting.
