Networks' fall slate signals routine but fading TV era
The Chronicle-Telegram notes NBC ABC and CBS reveal eight six and eight new series for 1986-87, but viewers trend toward cable and independent stations. It critiques rehashed shows like Columbo and That's Incredible, calling it a cautious, past-focused approach in a shrinking prime-time audience. It highlights MTV CNN as major 1980s breakouts and questions sustaining market share with nostalgia-driven revivals and movie-based copycats.
