Wrong! The 1980s version of Divorce Court actually got re-launched in 1984; same season that Cullen took over TJW.

I agree with Tammy.  Another thing to remember is that if your local market didnt clear TJW, you could stll see it on USA or WOR on cable.

Aware that TJW's ratings were in possibly-fatal decline, he opened the 1984-1985 season with a blockbuster: A one-week, million-dollar, winner-take-all tournament between ... Van Doren and Stempel. Ratings skyrocketed, syndicated Wheel was decimated. To this day, TJW remains must-see daily viewing with its host since 2008, Maury Povich.

I'll show myself out.
