# 1967–68 United States network television schedule

The following is the 1967–68 network television schedule for the three major English language commercial broadcast networks in the United States. The schedule covers primetime hours from September 1967 through August 1968. The schedule is followed by a list per network of returning series, new series, and series cancelled after the 1966–67 season.

New fall series are highlighted in bold.

Each of the 30 highest-rated shows is listed with its rank and rating as determined by Nielsen Media Research.

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.
