Nice. Since it says "series return" and the blurb is written as though the audience already knows the "new" characters in this Pilot I'm guessing this must be promoting a re-run.

Yes. It’s an ad from the Jun 7th - 13th 1980 TV Guide for a repeat that aired on Thursday June 12th. I’m presuming they reran the full series on Thursday nights over the summer months that year.

Oh... that's interesting. I hadn't realised the first season had been re-run so soon. It's sweet to think of these being shown as Who Shot JR? Mania was sweeping the world.

She's also been a massive alcoholic who ran over a child while drunk, constantly left the company to chase after her latest beau, was visibly inheberiated with clients and had a massive row at the Christmas party, but sure, let's promote this chick to Vice President.

The Melrose Place writers really loved to torture poor Sydney, yet somehow, she was never really a victim in the situation.
