The premiere
The first three episodes supposedly aired the same day, did they air as three episodes back to back or as one 90-minute episode?
shareSame thing, I watched it when it aired when I was a kid and it was three episodes strung together into 90 minutes, with commercials. Then they re-ran the damn thing over three Saturdays a few weeks later instead of new episodes, drove me nuts!
shareYeah. I remember rerun after rerun. It felt like after months and months of watching the show, I only saw like new episodes.
You are sin.
Yeah the premiere was on a Friday night on local WB stations and then aired again I think on WGN the next afternoon. All three episodes aired as a ninety minute movie premiere. It was the premiere and then the series premiere of Men In Black The Series I think right after.
I do remember that Wizard Magazine wasn't happy about the premiere being reaired three weeks in a row one episode a week. I think they said something about it's been on a month and it's already in reruns. I didn't get what they meant st first then someone at school told me what was up, Once they told me it made a lot of sense and I'd b mad too. I remember watching it and really enjoying it the show. So I was kind of mad too when it was in reruns almost immediately u know?
It's really sad they don't do premieres on Friday nights anymore. I remember twice they did premieres. The first time was the series premieres of Superman and MiB and then the second was the World's Finest TV movie aka The Batman Superman Movie which also got repeated three separate weeks on Kids WB ala the series premiere. They did do one more premiere on a Sunday night on The WB for Batman Beyond then that was it. Too bad because the shows like this once every three months on The CW could be a massive ratings success.
Thanks for the response. I prefer to watch the original broadcast versions.

I read that same issue.
As a big Superman fan, it was very frustrating. I had a vhs tape ready to record new episodes, but I rarely got to use it because there was always a rerun.
Seize the moment, 'cause tomorrow you might be dead. share
