I don't mean to argue but that is false about Search For Tomorrow coming on after Doctor's in the schedule. Now on December 31, 1982 the Doctor's went off air. in 3 months later Search was cancelled by CBS to air what cbs thought would be a succesful soap Capital.NBC bought search and aired it for 4 years. A game show hit man replaced Doctor;s while Fantasy replaced Texas because it 2 was cancelled on December 31, 1982.

Andy, try again. The Search CBS=>NBC transition WAS in 1982.

To be fair, The Doctors may not have been paired with Search for Tomorrow in your local TV market (was also the case in DFW), but the Peacock did air them together during the overlap time.
