Why no discussion of it here?
We've actually had several discussions about it.
Also...why no montages of '91 series?
Montages were posted on the VantageNet incarnation of the forum for the series' 10th anniversary back in 2001. It hasn't been shown (or released on DVD) since this version of the forum was created, so there really hasn't been any reason to post montages here. But just for you, here's a copy of the montage for the series pilot (though it's sort of squished because the actual montage is 620X542, but the forum's system will resize it to 528X461 for display in this post):
How long was the '91 run for?
Thirteen hours over a ten week period.
When did it premier?
Sunday, January 13, 1991.
I do remember alot of commercials for it in the summer preceeding....(at least I think I do...FDSMS)
Actually, more than 20 different promos, ranging from 5 seconds to 2 minutes long, began airing in mid-December 1990, leading up to the January 13th debut.
