This is also the first television season to officially end in the month of May. From July 19 to August 4, 1996, all of NBC's primetime programming was preempted in favor of coverage of the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta.
PBS, the Public Broadcasting Service, was in operation, but the schedule was set by each local station.
On January 21, 1996, Savannah debuted as a Sunday lineup, then it was moved to Mondays for fall 1996.
Note: JAG was on Saturdays until February 3, 1996; then, on March 13, 1996, NBC moved the show to Wednesdays.
