WP:NOT; it specifcally lists TV guides; I mean seriously who will want to figure out for their research what was playing on saturday morning? Parker007 02:07, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per previous Articles for deletion/1997-1998 United States network television schedule discussion on this subject. The fact is, Wikipedia has a lot of chronological information on it, from membership in Congress to dates of various sporting events. This is yet another such presentation.  Certainly daily schedules or individual channels would be a bit much, but the nationwide broadcasts are another matter.  TV Guide, newspapers, other magazines have articles on what the major networks will be showing each year.  This may not interest you, but that's not grounds for deletion.

 * Keep as a novel navigation guide. Very clever. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 05:28, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. American culture is very TV-centric, and in the days before cable was so ubiquitous, extremely network-TV-centric.  I'd be inclined to think that the basic network schedules for any season, at least through the 80s (and probably up until now), are necessary references to provide any kind of encyclopedic view of U.S. cultural history for those years.  And the influence of Saturday morning TV on kids of the 60s-80s is probably even greater than the average influence of TV on people... just look at any of the popular shows now that are written by people who were kids then, like Family Guy and Robot Chicken -- knowing about the shows on this schedule is almost a requirement to fully enjoy those shows, and this page gathers them together in a logical manner.

 * Comment This is Original Research - No Reliable Reference - Infact No References at all. --Parker007 22:25, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
 * This is not original research, there is no theory here, no cause advanced, merely facts that could easily be sourced. That they aren't now doesn't mean they can't be.  So, that's not grounds for deletion in this case.   If you want to add  to the whole category of television schedules, feel free, but don't argue for deletion.

 * Links to the individual TV show articles are themselves references, or at least lead to reference extlinks such as IMdB or tv.com. Dl2000 04:47, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Provides context for scheduling and competition of notable television series, also an effective index for these series by year/time/network. Dl2000 04:47, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
