Thanks for the link.    I love seeing local promos from the syndication days - no matter how short they might be.

I agree with the poster on that link that it's a little nuts that NBC carried re-runs. (I agree that I would've thought WWOR or WPIX would've carried the re-runs.)

I love how everybody thinks DS is British, yet the British don't even know what it is.

WNBC thought that putting the show on in it's original 4PM time slot would make ratings magic again. The ratings they got would have been acceptable on WPIX or WOR--but WNBC, as a network affiliate, had unrealistic expectations for an off-network rerun.
After a month they moved DS to 3AM.

When the show returned to the city via PBS' WNYC in 1987, it was considered a huge hit, with the same rating it got on WNBC!
