It keeps getting better and better at WGN.
Is Night Court missing from that Thursday lineup?

[Pavan]

Not sure if Night Court aired that night on Sept. 20, 1984. I heard back-to-back Cheers repeats aired, but not 100% sure. WGN won't air 2 Cheers that night, though.

[Pavan]

Did I say Sept. 1984? I said the night of September 20th! And please stop replying to every single post on this thread.

[Clint Eastwood Fan]

A one hour rerun of Cheers aired on September 20, 1984.

The title is I'll Be Seeing You and was the second season finale.

Thanks for posting this. WGN America's fall line-up is one of the line-ups I'm looking forward to, so I can't wait to see it. When you get it Pavan, don't hold off on releasing it too long!!

As with "Cheers", I hope they air it earlier in the fall. Maybe it would do better earlier than late night. Hallmark does that and they wonder why it doesn't do well.

[DSfan]

WGN is so creative with their programming specials. I can see Family Ties fitting in well for this channel should it be acquired. Maybe Hill Street Blues could go on in the mornings with shows like Nash Bridges, Matlock, etc.

Pavan, how much longer do they have Becker? Seems like it's been on there forever.

It'll be interesting to see where they put The Beverly Hillbillies in the fall. I hope it gets a nice afternoon slot.
