I may be wrong....ABC May have aired that show Charles in Charge.

Charles in Charge was on CBS for the first season then first run syndication for the rest of its run.

I think the first NBC-Universal DVD set will be The Apprentice. What a let-down.

NBC mainly aired Universal dramas though, like Columbo, Knight Rider, A-Team, and Magnum P.I. -- all of which are coming to DVD this summer from Universal. I don't think NBC's merger had anything to do with those sets though.

You are right about the first three shows, but Magnum P.I.(1980-
88) was on CBS, not NBC.

Also, only the original 1971-78 run of Columbo aired on NBC, all
Columbo movies/specials since then have aired on ABC.

The logo is cool.... "NBC Universal" takes too long to say.

I think it would be so awesome if "Gimme A Break!" were to be released. I'll cross my fingers.
