I'm gonna take a guess on the stations listed here: that 12 and 32 are what were the ABC stations of Cincinnati, OH and Louisville, KY respectively (WKRC and WLKY; both are CBS in those areas now), and 36 is what is still ABC of Lexington, KY (WTVQ).

Here’s a few extra to close out the week.

This week is reunions, revivals and reboots.

This latter one (for War of the Ewings) came when WBZ in Boston was not far removed (only three years) from becoming the CBS O&O of that Massachusetts capital (it had so become in 1995, IIRC).

And these KL Back To the Cul-De-Sac ads came (in the case of the KTVT DFW one) just short of two years after KTVT became the CBS station of DFW, and also, IIRC, just short of two years before KTVT became the CBS O&O of that Texas area (KTVT is now CBS Texas).

CW produced a surprisingly good promo for that:

I assume the 'See you next Tuesday ' is in reference to Amanda's return?

Oh that would've been good and clever. They clunkily did "Tuesday's are a bitch", which just doesn't work.

Does she though???

CW produced a surprisingly good promo for that:

I’d need to rewatch it but I’ve recollections of Heather Locklear being shot in quite obvious soft focus when she was sharing scenes with Katie Cassidy.

I assume the 'See you next Tuesday ' is in reference to Amanda's return?

If only. They were using the “See You Next Tuesday” tagline from the beginning but the show just didn’t live up to it.

Much like this one where I’d say Blake struggled to recognise his daughter never mind her recognising her father because (a) she was played by a different actress and (b) she doesn’t even look like Emma Samms in this ad.
