That's not a ratings battle you're gonna win.[/quote]So that's why I never saw any of these shows until I started trading or until the few that popped up on USA did. I get it now![/quote]And I think this was the time when KIRO (7) was the independent station and KSTW was your CBS affiliate, swapping what was normal. I think Joker's Wild was 11 in the morning, Challengers at 4 (which was perfect viewing for a fifth grader who had just gotten home), Quiz Kids Challenge at o'dark thirty (I only happened upon it randomly some late Friday).

Actually that would be incorrect; KIRO was a UPN/Independent station and KSTW was CBS in 1995/1996, by the time 1997 came around I think things were reversed and KSTW became UPN and KIRO became CBS again.
