Time: 10:49 Source: Eric "Spiderman" Matthews

[Spiderman] 1971's undated "Popular Mechanics" was from a Tuesday (Shep mentions this) & had to have been aired during the JSA run on PBS. [10:49] Shep mentions that the JSA episode from the prior Sunday will be aired again "tomorrow night". That would mean this was somewhere between 13 April & 6 July 1971.

Source: Jim Clavin

[Jim} Accordiing to the news piece at end regarding 3,000 troops being sent to Firebase 6, this would be April 71. The first show in the JSA series was 4-11-71 and he may have been telling the audience whomissed it that it will be rerun Wed 4/13 - 'tomorrow night" The way he was talking this may have been after the first episode which would date this show 4/13/71

"Can you imagine 4,000 years passing, and you're not even a memory?
Think about it, friends. It's not just a possibility. It is a certainty." - Jean Shepherd - 1975
