1974-1975 Television Season
The top five shows of 1974-75 were M*A*S*H,
The Jeffersons, Chico
and the Man, Sanford and Son,
with the most popular being All in
the Family. (See below for the list of the top
30 programs.)
A trio of female detectives debuted in the fall of 1974: Angie
Dickenson as Police Woman, Get
Christie Love, and Amy Prentiss.
The first featured a hot blonde, the second an African-American, and the
third had the first female chief of police. Guess which one survived for a
second season? Select a show below to read all about it and to share your

Note: Television seasons have generally begun in
September of each year. And new shows often do not last the entire season.
The shows below began the new season but did not necessarily run
all the way through to summer reruns.
