Ok. So, as Lifetime and Lifetime Real Women air old episodes, I have been doing research and would like to end up with an extensive episode guide. So what I would like to do is open this up to everyone online who may have info. So, let's begin with the 1988-1989 Season. I've used TV Guide descriptions for the episodes that I need to review or am waiting to see edited on Lifetime Real Women.
So, I'm looking for any information anyone can offer. Corrections, comments. If you have original recordings, can anyone confirm the airdates for particular cases (i.e. Mike Reemer, Matthew Chase, Delores Valadez)
Also, I've tried to list the cases in the order they aired in each episode. If anyone notices errors of any sort, PLEASE let me know.
