The other night I watched the film "Monday Night Mayhem," which tells the story 
of the early days of Monday Night Football. It stars John Turturro, one of my 
favorite actors, as Howard Cosell. An enjoyable film if you're a football fan. 

Anyway, there's a scene in the film that takes place in the fall of 1971, and 
it is implied that the surprise success of Monday Night Football was the reason 
Mayberry RFD, which also aired on Monday night, was cancelled. Not exactly 
accurate, maybe, but it was nice to hear Mayberrry RFD mentioned.
