That should be Friday, November 7, 1986.

Sorry, it was too late for him to change the date on
this. There is a very short window as far as making
changes to posts on this board
 
With the exception of "The Jeffersons," all of WREG's sitcoms were distributed by Viacom.
 
Sorry about the goof everyone. I'm new here and didn't realize that I couldn't edit later. I'll be more diligent about checking for typos before I hit the post button. November 8th always gets stuck in my head because it's the day I was due to be born, only I got here a little early (the only time in my life).

To the person who requested the following day, I'm sorry I didn't save it. I did save the previous Saturday, November 1st. I can add that one.

actually it's a week later as the celtics played the bulls and the knicks played the bucks on 11/14/1986
