When did PAX begin the airings of RS?

[Myrtle Groggins]

Does anyone have any idea when PAX-TV began the airings of RS? I think it was June 30, but I can't remember the year. I know it was airing at the time of Sept. 11, 2001. I know they stopped airing the show around late June or early July, 2002.

The majority of the episodes had about 5 runs. So I'm thinking it ran on PAX maybe two years?

Help! Please?

Sorry, I don't know the date but the run was less than 2 years. If I recall, yes it began in the summer of 2000. It was then cancelled by PAX in Jan 2002, at least initially. I think it came back in some markets later for a short time but not in all markets (not in mine if I recall)

In the area where I lived, it completed its run on 28 June 2002, which was a Friday. I know for sure because I became a Neilson family at the end of May that year, and hoped that the stats for those few weeks would influence their decision.

June 30, 2000 - June 28, 2002

Sounds about right to me. A two year run. I figured if they ran nearly all the episodes five times, it would take about 25 months to do that. Since they didn't air every episode, and stopped airing before the end of the fifth run, 24 months is right.

I know when it stopped airing on PAX because I was in the hospital at the end of it's run and I was released the same week PAX dropped it from it's line up. While I was in the hospital they had dropped its airings from 5 days per week to about 3 and it was airing at 11am instead of it's original time of 3pm, or even 4pm, where it was for a short time. Central time, of course. I remember being in the hyperbaric chamber watching the show. I didn't have the sound on because the noise from the chamber plus the TV sound was too much for me. The tech asked how I knew what was happening when I didn't have the sound on? I told him it's because I knew most of the series by heart.

Thanks for the help. Right now I have "Molten Steele" on my VCR, so I gotta go watch it.
