But if you can't ask here, then where can you ask it?
We all know full well that daily watchers and collectors hang out here, so someone surely ought to be able to answer him. (I tape MG every day. I have the episode guides too. Would you like to shoot me now, or wait till we get home?)
He didn't say "I Like FF, It Was A Cool Show". He didn't ask what state everyone was from. He asked a relevant, on-topic, pretty basic question.
Geez, if you don't know the answer then move along, there's nothing for you to see here. [/quote]
In 1980, there were no uniform airdates. I would guess NY, LA and Chi got a set of tapes one week, send that set to Philly, DC and Motown for air the next week, then they'd send it to Pittsburgh, Denver, Miami, etc, until eventually it got to Minot, Peoria and Alpena six months later. Is it tape dates wanted or air dates? They could be run out of order so smaller markets may have run shows before NYC. Satellite feeds and day-and-date airings were still a couple of years away.
