SNL shifts to prerecorded, Letterman runs reruns, Carson may rely on reruns, Cosby loses three May episodes, soaps remain mostly on schedule due to prewritten scripts. HBO Cinemax pilots a movie review show. Hunter returns briefly, Garrell moves to NBC Washington, and Reid pens final WKRP episodes.
