From what I remember, most stories had two parts, like Batman, wrapping up in the second episode and with both parts forming essentially a two hour TV movie (unlike Batman, each instalment was an hour, or around 45 minutes without breaks).Although there was some continuity running into different stories, I think it was mostly fairly loose to allow the stories to stand alone and remain accessible. In that regard it's akin to early Dallas (especially the two-parters like Reunion or Jock's Trial): soapy, but not fully serialised. It's a really interesting parallel you made, especially with the final year making a change to one episode. I may find myself looking out for other similarities when I watch.</blockquote>
