[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 409211, member: 27"] I'll add WJCL 22, Savannah, GA (ABC), which was my local station that aired the reruns. They had S1-7 (since Karen was left in the basement with the kidnapper when it started over) and I think they re-aired those reruns at least two times before they transitioned to something else. It aired at 4pm which was perfect to catch up on all the early seasons that I'd only casually seen if at all, since I was only nine years old when the show premiered. I can't recall exactly when they started airing the reruns, but I have a sense that it was Fall 1986. I'm not sure how they could have sold the complete S7 to stations as part of the package in "early 1986" when S7 was still airing on CBS. Typically they have to wait for a complete season to air (first) on the network before the reruns can be sold. I mean, the second half of the season would have still been in production. What if something had happened that caused production to be shut down, making it impossible to deliver those remaining episodes that were already paid for? [/QUOTE]
