CBS Thursday Night Movie? That’s so random as usually Simon & Simon and Knots Landing aired on Thursday nights.

Didn’t realize ABC was still airing Linda Ellerbee’s Our World at this point after The Charmings failed catastrophically in the slot against Cosby. Of course Our World, while smart TV, essentially DOA in the slot as well.

At that time, anything that ran against Cosby and Family Ties was DOA. As for the CBS movie, it may have actually been labeled as the CBS Special Movie, beginning with those aforementioned shows' pre-emption disclaimer, "Simon & Simon and Knots Landing will not be seen tonight..."
