[@AllenJones-w3p]

The networks used to be courteous enough to inform viewers that. regular programming was being preempted for specials.

Because of the following special program, Magnum P.I. will not be seen tonight, but will return next Wednesday.

Which would be on the night 🌚 of March 11, 1987, of course, Rick.

What was the special program that preempted Magnum that evening?

[@jamesmcclelland1414]

Shouldn't this preemption notice for CBS's original _Magnum, P.I._ say the night 🌚 of March 4, 1987, instead of March 5, 1986?
