Well, it appears "The Rifleman" was popular in all of Kansas...

Did I read correctly, Channel 49 pre-empted ABC programming with the syndicated "She's The Sheriff" - and then rebroadcast the show later that night?

IIRC, it was 2 different episodes...
 
Never thought that was possible with an off-network syndicated sitcom at the time...

By the way, as an FYI: Regarding the animated "ALF" program - I believe it was called "ALF-Tales".
 
Actually, there were two animated "ALF" shows; one, titled
simply "ALF," depicted ALF's life on Melmac as a teenager;
"ALF-Tales" was a segment of that show spun off into its own
show. Usually they aired at opposite ends of the schedule (8
AM and noon) but toward the end, 1990, they aired back-to-back.
"ALF-Tales" was ALF's peculiar spin on famous fairy tales.

I'm also quite sure that the same episode of "Hee Haw" aired in
both Wichita and Topeka that day, although at different times.
Amazingly, in the pre-satellite era, when syndicated shows were
"bicycled" from station to station, the same episodes of "Hee Haw"
and Lawrence Welk aired in every city the same week. (I seem to
recall "Hee Haw"'s stations having a larger window, since the episode
that aired in Charlotte on Friday night had aired in Greensboro and
Greenville/Spartanburg/Asheville the previous Saturday; I remember
that by the late '70s Miami was the first market to see the week's
Welk show--on Thursday--and all the other stations aired it on Friday,
Saturday, or Sunday. Earlier in the decade some stations aired it on
Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday.)
