I’m watching the Mary Tyler Moore Bio on Max and they rattled off the lineup so quick I had to Google to see if it was for real. It turns out Wikipedia has it year by year > **[1973–74 United States network television schedule](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1973%E2%80%9374_United_States_network_television_schedule)** > > The following is the 1973–74 network television schedule for the three major English language commercial broadcast networks in the United States. The schedule covers primetime hours from September 1973 through August 1974. The schedule is followed by a list per network of returning series, new series, and series cancelled after the 1972–73 season. All times are Eastern and Pacific, with certain exceptions, such as Monday Night Football. > New fall series are highlighted in bold. > Each of the 30 ... 4 of the shows are considered huge game changers. All in the Family the biggest but MASH & Mary Tyler Moore Show right behind it. Carol Burnett trail blazed in her own way and of course it considered one of the greatest shows of all time. And that 5th show, wasn’t bad, was it. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/there-was-once-a-tv-lineup-that-included-4-of-the-best-shows-in-tv-history-and-the-bob-newhart-show/984756)._
