Last week, we marked the 45th anniversary of the final ABC airing of The FBI. On this day in 1965, the series made its debut on the Alphabet Network. While not exactly setting ratings on fire, the series was a hardy survivor for ABC, which had most of its new shows crash and burn.
This time period has been one of anniversaries for season premieres. Here’s a rundown of season starts:
- Season 1: 19 September 1965 at 8 p.m.
- Season 2: 18 September 1966 at 8 p.m.
- Season 3: 17 September 1967 at 8 p.m.
- Season 4: 22 September 1968 at 8 p.m.
- Season 5: 14 September 1969 at 8 p.m.
