Users RetroNewfoundland or TelevisionDetroit, does WXYZ's programming look right about airing way classic stuff such as Father Knows Best, Dudley Dooright, and Donna Reed at 4pm after General Hospital and some Canadian based sitcom Hangin' In at 10:30am right after Kelly & Company in July 1986 when this video aired? According to me it is.

TelevisionDetroit, it right at the time when WXYZ had classic TV shows weekday afternoons at 4pm that includes Father Knows Best on Mondays, Dudley Dooright on Tuesdays and Thursdays, Donna Reed on Wednesdays, and Dennis the Menace on Fridays. Do you have any of the classic shows that aired on WXYZ? If so, will you upload them please.
