Jumping ahead to March 1989 we have Roseanne winning at #1. Interesting to see Anything But Love here so high. Another example of a timeslot hit with a known star this case Jamie Lee Curtis. Looks like the CBS soaps had all taken the week off due to basketball:IMG_2835.jpeg

Believe it or not, I really enjoyed "Anything But Love" and wish it were out on DVD or streaming. Even if they seemed to revamp that show at the start of every [!@#$%^&*] season, lol.
