National Educational Television (NET), the network predecessor to PBS, introduced its first live, in-pattern weekly series in November, 1967, PBL (an acronym for Public Broadcast Laboratory ), which was cleared in a simultaneous 8:30pm ET/5:30pm PT Sunday time-slot on the majority of NET stations. In the first season the series offered usually two-hour episodes, in the second season (1968–69) episodes usually ran for 90 minutes, after a 150-minute premiere on November 5, 1967. The series was a mix of filmed segments and live interviews, discussion panels and other performance.
