Two clues in dating it happen at 15:27 when the commercial says to act by 9/17, which would put it in the first two weeks of September 1973. In looking at shows from those two weeks the only ones missing are Thursday September 6 or Friday September 14. Also at 41:34 Jean talks about Scott Spencer Pogo contest which by an internet search happened on 8/12/73. Based on the news lead-in the is 11:15-12m show

Jim I need your help with dating a show. I have a file 1973 09 xx Sport Riots from the fathead collection from 2002. I can't find in your show listing. I checked it vs 1973 08 xx Slob sports and they are not duplicate's The two clues in dating it happen at 15:27 when the commercial says to act by 9/17. Which would put it in the first two weeks on September 1973. In looking at shows from those two weeks the only ones missing is Thursday September 6 or Friday September 14. Also at 41:34 Jean talks about Scott Spencer Pogo contest which by an internet search happened on 8/12/73. So my question is am I missing the show in the database? Do you agree with my dating info? Thanks John Miller
