The newspaper of record: http://www.nytimes.com/1990/09/13/arts/review-television-new-series-has-2-tiers-the-chase-and-the-trial.html This review mentions two half-hours, but not syndication: http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=VXQcAAAAIBAJ&sjid=02MEAAAAIBAJ&pg=2113%2C6997764 (I make no representations about what else you'll find poking through a 1990 edition of the now-defunct Pittsburgh Press.) -- -- TV or Not TV ....
