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.

That’s business, Melrose style!
