January 5Remington Steele is resumed by NBC after a six month hiatus.

Remington Steele adopts a TV movie length format but only runs for a few installments before being canceled permanently. January 17NBC announces purchase of CBS affiliate WTVJ, and stripped off WSVN, thus the switch did not take effect until two years later. January 22R.

February 7In the very special episode of Valerie titled "Bad Timing", David and a former girlfriend debate whether to have sex. The episode featured the first use of the word condom on a prime time television program. Parental advisory warnings were issued in ads for the episode and NBC placed an advisory warning before the episode aired stating that parents may want to watch the episode with their children. Because of the episode's subject matter, some of NBC's affiliates either aired the show outside of prime time or refused to air it at all.

February 15Amerika, the science fiction drama miniseries, showing life ten years after the United States is defeated and occupied by the USSR, was broadcast on ABC.

July 28Actor Crispin Glover appears on Late Night with David Letterman to promote River's Edge. To the surprise of Letterman and the audience, Glover appears wearing platform shoes and a wig.

September 26The pilot episode for the sitcom Second Chance airs on Fox. In the opening scene, as a throwaway joke, Colonel Muammar Gaddafi is shown being judged after his death, with the date given as July 29, 2011. In the year after the Berlin discotheque bombing and the U. S. response, the 1987 pilot was playing off Gaddafi's prominent negative perception by the American public. Twenty four years later, by coincidence, Gaddafi's death (on October 20, 2011) occurred within three months of the "predicted" date and was from the same cause (multiple gunshot wounds). September 28The pilot episode for Star Trek: The Next Generation premieres in syndication. October 3Once a Hero, the show's lowest rated program of the season holds its last aired episode on ABC.

October 16Max Headroom makes its final airing on its Friday night timeslot on ABC. The previously unaired episodes will later burn off in its Thursday night time slot during the 1988 WGA strike on ABC, replacing Probe. The fourth season opener of Mr. Belvedere and the premiere of Pursuit of Happiness will replace Headroom two weeks later, on October 30 on its Friday night time period. October 24ABC allows Game 6 of the World Series between the Minnesota Twins and St. Louis Cardinals to be played at 3 p. m. CT (4 p. m. ET) on Saturday afternoon – the only day game of the series, and the last World Series game to date to be played in the daytime (although as the game was played in the Metrodome, the game took place under artificial illumination all the same). October 26ABC airs a special, secondary edition of Monday Night Football for the Minneapolis and Denver markets. The game between the Vikings and Broncos was moved from Sunday, October 25 to the following Monday night because the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome was being used for Game 7 of the World Series. Gary Bender and Lynn Swann would call this special contest from Minnesota while the rest of the nation sees the Los Angeles Rams face off against the Cleveland Browns. October 30The third season of Punky Brewster begins after the series was off the air for over a year and a half.

The similar incident (for 15–20 seconds) occurred during WGN TV's newscast when it showed the mask moving up and downwards. Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back makes its network broadcast television premiere on NBC. November 26The very first Survivor Series professional wrestling event is broadcast on pay per view. That same night, the World Wrestling Federation's competitor, Jim Crockett Promotions held their fifth annual Starrcade supercard event. Jim Crockett Promotions had previously aired Starrcade only on closed circuit television. To compete with Starrcade, the WWF introduced the Survivor Series event, and held it on the same night as Starrcade. The WWF also limited the amount of pay per view providers that would carry Starrcade by not allowing providers to carry WrestleMania IV if they did not carry Survivor Series exclusively. Only a small amount of providers carried Starrcade, and it drew a 3.30 buy rate while Survivor Series drew a 7.0 buy rate. December 16San Antonio television station KABB goes on the air. December 27Through a short stint with NBC Sports, Gayle Sierens became the first woman to do play by play for an NFL regular season football game when she called a game between the Seattle Seahawks and the Kansas City Chiefs.
