ABC had their "TGIF", Montel was running at night (first run shows-now he is on WCIU-Channel 26), "Night Heat" I remember back in the day CBS used to have their "Crimetime After Primetime" shows to compete against the Tonight Show and Nightline. The "Family Feud" was hosted (I believe) at that time by the late Ray Combs (or did Richard Dawson come back?). "Dos Mujeres, Un Camino" back in the day starred Erik Estrada (I kid you not!), "The Uptown Comedy Club" kicked off Tracy Morgan's career, "A Current Affair" was hosted by Bill O'Reilly at the time, "The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr." starred Bruce Campbell (The Evil Dead, The Evil Dead 2, Army of Darkness and cameos on films directed by his best friend, Sam Raimi), this was also the day before the Chicago Bulls were defending their title (after Jordan retirement one), Les Brown's show didn't make it for a while that season, so don't quote me, but later that year after Les' show was canned, WLS repeated Oprah's 9am show after nightline (she is on live at 9am, then and now to this day that show is repeated at 11:05 pm), of course this was about a year before WGN became a WB afilliate (now the CW) and WWPR became a UPN afilliate (now MyTV Network).
 
Did I see "Married...with Children" on WMAQ-TV? What a joke! "Married" was a OK show, but on a NBC O&O station? I know it was based in Chicago, but maybe WMAQ-TV aired the show because of that!
 
"A Current Affair" was hosted by Bill O'Reilly at the time!

No! Bill O'Reilly hosted "Inside Edition." Maureen O'Boyle, who is now an anchor at WBTV in Charlotte, hosted "A Current Affair" in 1993.

Click to expand...

Married....with Children was just started in Syndication...The first run was still on WFLD (Fox 32) at the time.
 
How was channel 5 allowed to show an off net rerun in prime access, was that rule about top 50 markets not showing them in access hour repealed by then?
