Does anyone have a timeline of which episodes were shown during its 8 years on USA Network? I only know the following:
September 1987, they started with the initial 130 episode package that was shown in local syndication, that was put together by Republic Pictures (2/25/85-8/23/85)
July 1990, they were showing 1984 episodes from the early summer of that particular year
September 1993, they were showing 1986 episodes from June-July of that same year
From September 4, 1995-October 13, 1995, the following episodes were shown (4/14/86-5/23/86)

I used to have notes on this somewhere, but here's the best I can do off the top of my head:
--Sept '87-Jan '90 - the 130 syndicated episodes
--Jan '90-June '90 - Jan-June 1986 (repeated the following 6 months)
--Jan '91-June '91 - late 1984, then early 1984 (repeated the following 6 months)
--Jan '92-June '92 - spring 1984, then Oct-Dec 1983 (repeated the following 6 months)
--Jan '93-June '93 - June-July 1986, then Jan-Feb 1986, then Nov-Dec 1985 (stopping just short of the Christmas ep)
--Jan '94-June '94 - Feb-Mar 1986, then July-Sept 1985
1995 you've already accounted for.
Basically USA ran every episode except for the first two weeks, the first Home Player spin eps (Larson), two weeks at Christmas 1985, about a month during spring 1986, and the final month in Sept 1986.
Hope that helps!

Sorry if I'm being nitpicky here, but I thought I remembered seeing a clip from a December 1985 episode on YouTube with the red-italicized USA Network bug on the bottom-right corner of the screen (USA Network didn't have a network bug on the bottom right corner until around 1991)
