I was/am mainlining both the Dream Season and Season 7 of KL together, since that was the year of their big creative swap. That's the most I can take of Dallas consecutively. But I've been very preoccupied with other shows and work IRL and I need to get back to it after a long break from my Knots binge.

CBS Cybill #49 9.8/15 Almost Perfect #65 8.1/12
FOX Space Above & Beyond (2nd hr of 2hr episode) #51 9.5/15
60 Minutes was #19 so a lot of viewers didn't stay for Cybill.
On Sunday, Sept. 24, CBS finished third on the night, and its performance among 18 -49 year olds was worse than it was with the older skewing Murder, She Wrote in the time period last year.
So moving MSW was a foolish move at that point.
It was compatible with 60 Minutes and would probably have finished Top 20-25 for the week.
They should have left Sunday alone and concentrated on other nights..
I’ve been watching Knots and FC rather compulsively for a while now. Currently in fall 1983 with both. I had Dallas in there, too, but I am rather shocked at how stale that show gets after Jock’s death. Meanwhile, I can spend hours in the vineyards and in the cul-de-sac.
