*Killdozer! premiered as part of The ABC Suspense Movie series on Saturday, February 2, 1974 at 8:30 P.M. It was preceded by The Partridge Family and followed by Owen Marshall, Counselor at Law. NBC countered with Emergency! and the 1972 film Silent Running.

*Here is our look at the "Death Probe" episode of The Six Million Dollar Man.
