It surely would have been!! Though for years I had a problem with Rocky & Bullwinkle because when the Providence, RI ABC affiliate decided to move DS to 8:30am in September of '68, they put R&B on at 4pm to replace it. As much as I love R&B, I couldn't watch it for years afterward because of that.
As a side note, though, R&B was in DS' spot throughout the first month and a half of the Quentin's haunting storyline (DS didn't return to 4pm until mid-January '69), so around here the shows really do have a connection for that period.)
