In 1974, “Weekend” debuts on NBC with host Lloyd Dobyns. An experimental mix of hard news, odd features (“The Pigeon Wars”), sarcastic commentary and running cartoons, this offbeat late-night newsmagazine airs once a month, and will alternate with “Saturday Night Live” once that program starts.

As a genie canʹt survive on earth for more than three months without a Master, she eventually finds someone new to serve — Ken Kercheval, Larry Hagmanʹs archenemy from “Dallas.” Whew!

In 1991, “Dynasty: The Reunion” aired on ABC as part one. Opposite it was another reunion movie “I Still Dream of Jeannie”.
