But there is the debut of a new series, _Lawson’s Mates_. - And ABC has a week of Australian highlights coming up, though mostly re-runs of successful productions from previous years. The telemovie _Because He’s My Friend_ stars US actress Karen Black and led to child actor Warwick Poulsen winning a Logie for Best Performance by a Juvenile. ---

Despite solid ratings the show got dumped at the end of the year in favour of another new series, _E Street_. - SBS presents a re-run of drama series Women Of The Sun, the first drama series to be produced by SBS back in 1982. - _Richmond Hill_ was also debuted on NRTV from Northern Rivers (RTN55 on the Gold Coast). Here is the NRTV program listing for the same week, showing programs in QLD time being an hour earlier than NSW. Viewers on the Gold Coast if they so wanted could watch shows like _Neighbours_ at 6.00 instead of waiting for it at 7.00 from TV0. ![tv_270188](https://mediaspy-org-s3.s3.dualstack.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/original/3X/8/b/8be6969890c864b723c524b34b735c67856e3e76.jpg) ---

I note on “National Nine News”, it lists Robert Brough as a presenter. I assume it’s the same Rob Brough that is now reading Seven Local News in regional Queensland? If so, never knew he was ever at Nine. Interesting that since 1988, he shortened his first name, went to Seven to host a national game show then back to news but on a regional network. Some unusual career moves there! ---

Exactly 30 years ago today - Melbourne, 30.01.1988 (from the Age Green Guide Google archives, I put in the channel names at the top of the image because it was unreadable from the archive copy) ![TV%20Guide%2030-01-1988](https://mediaspy-org-s3.s3.dualstack.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/original/3X/f/d/fd5446060e96ae630f93e862a1ed267f90006e22.jpg) - American Bandstand’s 33 1/3rd Celebration aired on Seven at 9am, this was followed by a delayed telecast of the Tamworth Golden Guitar Country Music Awards at 12 noon, the first time the Golden Guitars was ever telecast. - Sport dominated the day: On Nine the Bicentennial Test Match between Australia and England continued at the SCG, with a golf tournament (the Palm Meadows Cup) during the lunch break. ABC had highlights of its coverage of the same cricket match in the late evening, this was shown live on ABC regional stations. Ten had horse racing live from Flemington, while ABC had Sports Arena, a sports magazine show hosted by Peter Gee. - We were still in off-ratings mode, which meant lots of repeats: The Saturday Show on ABC, Young Talent Time and Magnum PI on Ten, and Knight Rider on Nine. Seven had new episodes of US sitcoms The Golden Girls and Kate & Allie. - MTV was still going on Channel 9 with Richard Wilkins hosting. ---

Aaaaah Grace Under Fire on Southern Cross, a very under-rated (in Australia) sitcom. In its first run in 1994 it only lasted two or three episodes on Seven before being pulled due to poor ratings. Its replacement was The World’s Funniest TV Commercials with Andrew Daddo which ran for several years. After that Grace Under Fire was used as filler programming on both Prime and Southern Cross Tasmania. It had a great theme song, a cover of the Beatles’ “Lady Madonna” performed by Aretha Franklin. In the US it ran for five seasons. [Previous page](https://forums.mediaspy.org/t/classic-tv-listings/511.md?page=32) [Next page](https://forums.mediaspy.org/t/classic-tv-listings/511.md?page=34)
