MeTV also aired those three best-known Webb shows back-to-back-to-back for about six months when the first two moved over from Antenna TV. On Tuesday, October 14, 2014 6:24:37 AM UTC-7, Kevin M. (RPCV) wrote: > > And I know the Jack Webb trio of Dragnet, Adam 12, and Emergency aired > back to ba

Father Murphy (the quasi-Amish Merlin Olsen series) came on well after Little House went off the air, so those three were never running at the same time. I didn't think Little House and Highway to Heaven intersected either, at least when they were first run, but I don't know if I've seen more than

How about "Quinn Martin productions"? There was a time you couldn't swing a dead cat without hitting one of those things.

Going through my dog-eared TV almanac, it appears there was a time during the 1985-86 season where three Stephen J. Cannell series aired from 8-11pm ET on NBC Tuesdays -- "The A-Team", "Hunter" and "Stingray". JD On Monday, October 13, 2014 11:58:49 PM UTC-4, M-D November wrote: > I had t

I had thought maybe "Cop Rock", but an LA Times article from 1990 indicates it lived on Wednesdays at 10E. Thinking about Cannell, he was an EP on "Hunter" - was there ever a season where "A-Team", "Riptide" and "Hunter"

The reference was specifically to dramas, so Lear is disallowed. (And those shows didn't all share a single evening.) Has Dick Wolf or Steven Bochco ever had an 8:00 show? Kelley had "Ally McBeal," but that was on Fox, so no 10:00 slot. I wonder if the writer (James Hibberd) was just blowing smok
