Channel 32 strengthened its syndicated programming slate in 1979, when it acquired the local syndication rights to "M*A*S*H", "All in the Family", "Happy Days" and "What's Happening!!". The station also acquired the rights to "I Love Lucy" that year, and later added "Battlestar Galactica", "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century", "The Six Million Dollar Man", "Wonder Woman" and "" in 1982. WFLD began to beat WGN-TV in ratings as a result of its stronger programming acquisitions, and the two stations continued to go head-to-head throughout the 1980s. WFLD scored no big ticket program acquisitions in 1980 or 1981; however, in 1982, the station won the local syndication rights to popular series such as "Three's Company", "Taxi" and "Mork and Mindy".
