SG #71's Sci-Fi update:
This report is greatly edited because something like 80% of it was about how to get and which satellite services offered DS if your cable company didn't. Thankfully, by this point I actually did have Sci-Fi. In fact, my cable company finally provided access to it in my area in February of 1995, pretty much at the tail end of DS' first run on Sci-Fi. (The first two eps I was able to record/see were Ep #1192 (Quentin and Daphne return to RT when the room changes back from PT - and Joanna shows Samantha what she will become) and Ep #1193 (Samantha falls from Widows' Hill to her death - and Judard eavesdrops as Quentin and Daphne promise to marry) - given that I hadn't seen those eps, and particularly I hadn't really seen Virginia Vestoff's Samantha, since they originally aired a little more than 24 years earlier, it was a thrill to see them again.)
And DS did indeed wrap up it's first run on March 16th with Eps #1244 & #1245, and started it's second run on March 17th with Ep #1 (giving something extra to celebrate on St. Patrick's Day ).
I didn't watch when the '91 Series ran April-May, so I don't know if it ran without preemptions. Though promos for it ran every day during the original DS, so I could check. But even though I've kept the VHS tapes I used to record original DS (because there are all sorts of PomPress/Fest ads on them) watching VHS tapes is a hassle. (One of these days I should make a DVD of all the ads and then toss the tapes.) Besides, I'm pretty sure SG #72 will get into that.
And I'm also pretty sure SG was heavily promoted on Sci-Fi. It would probably be a hoot to see one of those ads again, so who knows, some day I may actually check out the tapes after all...
And imagine, something published inaccurate info related to DS. We never see that. Nope. Never.
