Quite a few country music shows in these listings. I guess the "Urban Cowboy" craze was still in full swing in 1982 between such TV shows like Hee Haw and NBC airing Barbara Mandrell plus not too mention the number of country music radio stations that were popping up around the country in the early 80's. For example LA's 93 KHJ-AM giving up "boss radio" for country music which brings up two big rumors going around the same time as these listings like the one where Dick Clark was planning on doing a country version of American Bandstand for ABC. Another rumor had NYC's WABC Radio dropping rock ( which they did two months later in April 1982 ) in favor of....country music. Of course that never happened.
 
King's Crossing would be replaced on ABC's Saturday Night
lineup by T.J. Hooker three weeks later.

Am I the only one who thinks, looking back thirty years later, animated versions of live-action shows like this one was a bad idea?

I can't answer that; I was usually over at CBS watching "The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Show." But
I do remember in the '80s that while I liked the primetime version of "ALF," the animated version sent
me in search of another channel.

Take the animated "Star Trek" for instance....that was a good idea, just poorly planned.

Could had been worse. ;D When CBS cancelled Alice in 1985 I seem to recall reading in TV Guide where either Linda Lavin or Vic Tayback was actually pitching the idea of a cartoon version of Alice to ABC. Could you imagine what THAT would had been like.

Come to think of it I seem to recall also where Nell Carter had wanted to do the same thing, a cartoon version of Gimmie A Break since she wanted to milk the sucess of Joey Lawrence who at the time was very popular among kids. Maybe so but I doubt an animated version of Gimmie A Break wouldn't had been a success even with Joey Lawrence.
 
Looking back now I am very surprised there wasn't an animated version of The Facts of Life. If a cartoon version of Gary Coleman can be done then one would think the same can be done also with Blair/Natalie/Tootie/Jo/Mrs. Garrett as well since both Diff'rent Strokes & The Facts of Life did catered to the same demographic.

I can see why that idea never panned out: could you imagine every fifth- and sixth-grader in America gleefully saying, "Kiss my grits"?

...I doubt an animated version of Gimmie A Break wouldn't had been a success even with Joey Lawrence.

Nor would an animated version of "Joey," either. ;D
