It was a very exciting season for kids & horror / sci-fi fans!
Friday Nights: Planet of the Apes on CBS at 8:00 PM then Kolchack: The Night Stalker on ABC at 10:00!

(Not sure what was on between 9 and 10 PM. Did it matter? LOL.)

Also; the CBS Late movie on Fridays OFTEN played a "thriller" - "House of Dark Shadows", "Frogs", "Night of the Lepus".
It was great fun being a "horror kid" in the 70s! Oh those glow in the dark monster models by Aurora !!!!!!!

Planet of the Apes was gone by Christmas (poor ratings & man that was some dull show)
Kolchak lasted almost a full year/season.😈

Yes!!
There was also a short lived horror anthology show called Ghost Story that was on Friday nights.
It lasted two seasons , with the 1st season hosted by Sebastian Cabot.
I believe it was 72-73
