I don't think the 'New Dragnet' and 'New Adam-12' aired much after 1991. I haven't been able to find much of these first run syndicated series except for clips of the openings on You Tube. Some pretty decent prime time programming on Saturday. Networks weren't yet ignoring this night apparently.
 
1:00 NCAA World Series, Championship Game: Louisiana State vs. Bell

Bell? Who the heck was Bell, and why was it playing for the national championship?
