Interestingly enough 7/22//92 was also the series finale of Dear John (see KXAS schedule). The show had initial success its first two seasons as a top 20 show airing on NBC’s Thursday Nights. Then NBC moved around the schedule a lot and of course ratings collapsed, finishing off at #77 for its fourth and final season.

I should've mentioned that. Thanks for pointing that out.

I hate to be that bug-a-boo, but any listings for KDAF (33, Fox back then) and the other DFW indies (21, 27 and 39)?
