I wonder if the WB was offering Monday Night programming then with 'Lethal Weapon' airing on WXON? I suppose they could've as that was a Warner Bros movie IIRC.

Good idea culling this from the Toledo paper as the Detroit papers aren't part of the Google News archive. These posts of your are interesting and I thank you for the effort you put into it.

Yes, particularly as that archive consists of image files and you are
typing them all by hand. I have done that here from a couple of old copies of the
Flint Journal I had lying in the attic. It was quite time consuming (and I type pretty well).

It was a syndicated offering. The WB didn't start on Monday nights until August of '96 with the premiere of "7th Heaven" and the short-lived "Savannah," which moved from Sunday nights.

Interesting. Thanks for that information.
