TV Rewind 2.04 - "1985-86"

What would Abaza TV's schedule have looked like in 1984-85?
Network points awarded 1 for each hour on the schedule, 1/2 point for a half hour show.

Bold is the pick of the night bringing the network a bonus of 1 point regardless of length of show. Sports programs are not eligible to be the pick of the night.
After feedback from episode #1, 1979-80, I've decided to no longer allow time shift or day shift. All programs will only be available in their fall lineup spot or their replacement winter spot. So some split hours will happen where a sit-com will take the first half hour, then a drama will be joined in progress (if that's how I would have watched it).

7:00pm Ripley's Believe it Or Not (ABC)
8:00pm Amazing Stories (NBC)

Battle of the Network Stars
NBC 14.5
ABC  8.0
CBS  6.5

7 Year Total
ABC 62.0
CBS  80.5
NBC 60.5

NBC won for the second straight year, even doing a bit better then last year, and equalling the other two network's combined points.
ABC made a bit of a resurrgence passing CBS which dropped off quite a bit losing ground particularly on their Wednesday night comedy block and Saturday night action.
Despite two straight years victory, NBC is still trailing in 3rd place due to a slow start. However, they looked posed to move past ABC next year.
