First off, let me say thanks to all who responded. I am glad to see that I am not the only TVG collector in the house.
Second, I believe that the ad in question was in the April 9-15, 1988, issue (being that the first true Saturday Night episode was on April 9). I already bought the issue on that basis and wait for it in the mail.
I figured this would make the most sense, since it would be rather odd to promote a show when it is two or three weeks into a run...
Thanks again!

(By the way, as an add on, did any of you local boys remember any ads promoting the 1988 syndie debut of DD? Just a thought.)
