TV Rewind 2.07 - "1988-89"

What would Abaza TV's schedule have looked like in 1988-89?

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).
