You get the feeling that WSAZ loved Mary Hartman?

And WOAY/4 is still a horrible station. The news is crappy and everything is cheap there.

These were the whole week's episodes of Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman and these were probably reruns since the 1977-1978 season was renamed "Forever Fernwood".
 
Being an NBC affiliate, Ch. 3 would not have been allowed
to delay Johnny Carson to midnight (only Minneapolis and
Birmingham were allowed to delay him at all, and in the case
of the Twin Cities that was after the switch to what is now
KARE). Ch. 3 carried Carson and Tom Snyder's "Tomorrow" show,
and "The Midnight Special" on Friday. That means the earliest
"MH2" could have gotten on would have been 2 AM (2:30 AM
Friday night/Saturday morning). And I suppose, too, it filled a
gap, since the station stayed on all night on Saturdays.

Another NBC affiliate, WIS Columbia, SC, also taped "MH2" and
played back (I think) three episodes after "Saturday Night Live"
and two on Sunday nights.

The ABC affiliate in Richmond, WXEX (now WRIC), used to do
something similar with "Dark Shadows." They carried David Frost
at 4 PM, taped the five episodes of "Dark Shadows" for the week,
and aired them five in a row on Sunday afternoons.
 
I remember watching Operation Petticoat on Saturday afternoons on WTRF.
Seemed like a very odd time.
