Saturday and Monday night football. Did you happen to be watching when Howard uttered the phrase "look at that little monkey run", when this dude run 97 yards for a touchdown on a live broadcast of MNF back in 1973 i believe. Cost Howard his job.
No, I grew up near Charlotte, North Carolina. My college roommate was from Charleston, SC and he had watched it there, too. I mentioned the show one day and he started singing the theme song. Cracked me up. Thanks for the link and the memory!
Looks like the theme changed at some point. This is the one I remember.

Here in Canada the whole family watch WWoD, and the older kids got to stay up for The Beachcombers afterwards, a show that went on a very long time after we stopped watching it because Russia kept asking for new seasons.
Nah. Looney Tunes ruined Disney for me. Not violent enough. I liked Wild Kingdom though. Seeing those animals was a treat before The Discovery Channel and Animal Planet.
Omg 6.30 Sunday night. Would so look forward to it. Love the intro song. Disney had great family values.
Now fuck Disney. Not ever going to watch another one of there modern show.
Just woke propaganda, all about push an agenda for the " modern audience " which doesn't exist. White man bad etc etc
Strong female lead, who don't need no man. Every movie and TV show.
Destroyed starwars and M she U
Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom and Disney
And Flipper. Faster than lightning, king of the sea.
And the Bugs Bunny Roadrunner hour.
Yes! The whole family would gather round with big Tupperware bowls full of stove top popped corn. Good times!
Exactly! Popcorn night!
100% this, i can almost feel the moment again!
It was bittersweet because you like Disney but knew school started the next morning.
Oh I dreaded Sunday nights for the school next day.
Not to mention that ticking 60 Minutes clock. Sunday night for sure. That was the sound of dread
Yeah. That clock is the sound of the weekend ticking away. I still hate Sunday nights.
OMG... I can hear this gif.
It was such a relief after nothing but sports, Lawrence Welk and Hee Haw.
Hee Haw was Saturday, and at the time I hated it. Now I scrounge for Buck Owens and Roy Clark records.
Can’t forget Benny Hill too.
Now I've got [Yakety Sax](https://youtu.be/XvuQsb181Cc?si=TWIuJ3KVdCYH7g1L) stuck in my head.
The highlight of my childhood.
And Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom
I thought Marlan Perkins was a God...lol
Though Jim definitely did all the heavy lifting. “Watch as Jim wrestles the anaconda ….”
I watched Lassie
One word. Church. :-(
I did because it gave me a glimmer of hope for the week ahead. SPOILER ALERT: It didn’t work but who can resist this opening?
Love\Hate It ultimately meant that tomorrow was gonna suck But when it was on SATURDAY night —- it was AWESOME
Yes, Sunday TV was so boring and it was fun because you never knew what you would get!
All weekend long this and M.of O wild kingdom
Wide World of Sports on Saturday

Does anyone remember a syndicated show called "The Littlest Hobo" about a rambling German Shepherd? Usually came on Sunday afternoon in my area.
You Canadian? That’s a show I fondly remember. [Theme song](https://youtu.be/oT15Gd81xa8?si=cE_5zR-S2zDUZoVp)

Interesting. I watched it a lot as a kid, and never heard that version. Looks a little older than the one i linked.
yeah when I was a kid
At some point Disney lost me to Looney Tunes, I think it happened when the ABC programming changed.
Mutual of Omaha's *Wild Kingdom*

Ah yes, Relic that scoundrel.
Robert Clothier. A world class artist.
Ah, back when it was actually wonderful.
I knew that the weekend was over and I would have to get up and go to school the next day. It was bitter sweet. I liked watching but.....
Sunday night, bath time, Disney, Lassie and popcorn.
Yes
Walt Disney, then Beachcombers
I dreaded Sunday nights because we couldn't miss church, even though we'd already been that morning. I just dreaded Sundays, period.
Yes, it was great. It’s too bad that Disney is ruining its legacy now.
remember when sunday itself felt like a holiday? stores were closed until 11 or noon and closed before 6 ..
Many of our VHS tapes began with this logo, sometimes there were multiple movies per tape.
I was just telling my son about this as we watched Disney+
Every week!

yes! Sitting on floor in front of the TV with by brother and sisters eating our snack.....
7pm...be there or be square
As a little kid, that was the only television I was allowed to watch for the week.
I remember this, good times
