The schedule covers primetime hours from September 1967 through August 1968. The schedule is followed by a list per network of returning series, new series, and series cancelled after the 1966–67 season. New fall series are highlighted in bold. Each of the 30 highest-rated shows is listed with its rank and rating as determined by Nielsen Media Research. National Educational Television (NET), the network predecessor to PBS, introduced its first live, in-pattern weekly series in November, 1967, PBL (an acronym for Public Broadcast Laboratory), which was cleared in a simultaneous 8:30pm ET/5:30pm PT Sunday time-slot on the majority of NET stations. In the first season the series offered usually two-hour episodes, in the second season (1968–69) episodes usually ran for 90 minutes, after a 150-minute premiere on November 5, 1967. The series was a mix of filmed segments and live interviews, discussion panels and other performance. Yellow indicates the programs in the top 10 for the season.
