I'm just asking this out of curiosity, because TV scheduling in the Mountain Time Zone can be a bit unpredictable. From what I've read, for any given network, the MTZ might receive the Eastern feed (2 hours early), the Pacific feed (1 hour late), or sometimes a special Mountain feed (for some reason corresponding to Central Time, so 1 hour early).

So, if you watched Galactica back in the Seventies (8:00 ET/PT) in the Mountain Time Zone, what time was it on for you?

I have always been Central Time. Wild that Mountain has such shifting slots.
Since I was a little more than 3 1/2 years old at the time any prime time TV was probably near bedtime.


I'd guess it was on at 7 Central for me.

There's a preserved end credits voiceover from the original broadcast of "The Man with Nine Lives" that says the next episode will air at a special time, 10:00 Eastern, 9:00 Central and Mountain. So at least in that case the Mountain Time Zone was receiving it on a 1-hour delay from the Eastern/Central feed.

Extrapolating from that, I guess the regular time for Galactica would have been 8:00 Eastern (and Pacific), 7:00 Central and Mountain. So the MTZ would have been watching at 9:00 Eastern, which was 7:00 there and 8:00 Central.
