Question About Original Series
Does anyone know what the airtime of the show was during its original run? I've searched the internet for the answer to this question to no avail...

Originally it aired at 10:00 on Friday nights. Beginning with the episode, RING, it was transferred to 8:00 on Friday nights for the remainder of its run.
shareDid you look that up or did you remember it after all this time?
shareI remember it very well.
My Dad would let me stay up to watch the 10:00 PM episodes with him on condition I went to bed immediately afterwards. When it moved to 8:00, that condition went away.
At least once I missed a 10:00 episode because I did not see Firefall in the original run. Since it was not originally included in syndication packages, saw it for first time when it became available on VHS.
Very impressive memory you have. I am jealous. Cool dad too.
shareI think so as well. It could have been much worse. He caught me watching the show from my bed when I was supposed to be asleep. Rather than ground me or whip my behind, he allowed me to stay up. My mom didn't like it. I was just six at the time.
Interesting to note: He once pointed out that this made him realize that horror movies didn't scare me like typical little kids.
Thank you! I was wondering how I had managed to watch it as a seven-year-old...
