I can still rattle off the mid-80s TBS afternoon schedule. Not prime time. The stretch after lunch, when the set stayed on and nobody reached for the dial.

12:05 Perry Mason
1:05 Movie
3:05 Bugs Bunny and Friends
4:05 Flintstones
4:35 Brady Bunch
5:05 Leave It to Beaver
5:35 Beverly Hillbillies
6:05 Andy Griffith
6:35 Carol Burnett and Friends
7:05 Mary Tyler Moore
7:35 Sanford and Son

The :05 start times were genius. Every show sat five minutes off the hour or the half hour, so you were already there when the next one started.

They called it Turner Time. WTBS started it on June 29, 1981, :05 and :35 on purpose, so you were either stuck mid-show on another channel or you came over after the hour-top surf.
