...was MCA still distributing reruns of Mort's WWOR show that late? I don't think his Chicago-based show (taped at the new facilities at WCIU/26) cranked up until the year after this...

Actually, the series WGBO carried were likely his second series, known simply as "Downey", that originated from Palm Springs, CA, which took place between his Secaucus (his first) and Chicago (his third) series. Also, if you noticed the schedule, this series was a half-hour long (the others were 60 minutes each).

Mort's second series took place on a set that resembled a bar, and lacked the same bite (no pun intended) that the others had.

Can you post listings from Friday 10/22/93 or 10/29/93?

TeleGuia only carried full-day listings for Sat/Sun and evening schedules for weeknights, but I can certainly post the evening listings for Fri 29th.

This has got to be a mistake or did Showtime actually air on two Chicago stations at once? I understand that it was a show that was sold to most (if not all) of the NBC O&O's.

That's a typo...NBC5 has Apollo. Can't remember at the moment what WBBM showed in the time slot...

Checked the TeleGuia...Lillehammer aired on CBS2 at 12:40 and 1:10am.
