Yeah--it was 9 p.m. on WPWR in Chicago, which must've made me think that it was 10 p.m. on WWOR (this was during WWOR's superstation days when it was on cable in Chicago, before the Syndication Exclusivity Rule forced Eastern Microwave to run substitute programming for big chunks of the schedule, including the UPN lineup once that started).
