10:00AM Perfect Strangers

1. Twenty years later, such a matchup would bring to mind "instant tryptophan"...

2. Not that I care - nor did every single person in Philadelphia - but didn't this show always air on WPHL/17?

PS went into offnet syndication in the fall of 1990. For the 1989-90 season, daytime reruns aired on ABC. However, since the local noon news preempted the show, WTXF had to carry the show instead..

 

[DToTheJ]

Oh - the ABC daytime run - gotcha... Airing right before Happy Days, I wouldnt have known... So let me get this straight: WTXF "had to" carry these Perfect Strangers reruns that WPVI did not want? Were they held at gunpoint?

I know that's the only way I'd WATCH Perfect Strangers -- at gunpoint!!

Someone can probably help with this but I believe WTXF started carrying the daytime reruns from ABC in 1987 or so....WPVI never aired any of the daytime reruns from the "Laverne and Shirley" days on...

As far as the ABC lineup goes - in July 1990 "Perfect Strangers" was replaced by the new version of "Match Game" with Ross Shafer...I was almost positive that WTXF would carry that as well, but it was not to be - the 10am timeslot was replaced by reruns of "What's Happening!!" the day that MG premiered...Thus, it was never seen in Philly.
