    Groundhog Day
    The '90's version was not the first of this type... I saw one based on the same premise about 30+ years ago... what was the name of the original b/w movie (40's or 50's I think)
    I searched the internet to no avail... most 'informed' sources seem to think it was an original idea... it was not!

    Try checking the list of TV shows, movies, books etc under Time Loop in Wikipedia. Groundhog day is there but so are a bunch of others

    Hope this helps a bit...

    Not the timeframe you've asked about, but a short movie influencing Groundhog Day was this one, starring Kurtwood Smith;

    12:01 PM (1990) - Plot summary

    Could the old show you're thinking of possibly be an episode of something like the Twilight Zone? They did a few time loop episodes.
    This one was recurring time, but with another Twilight Zone twist;

    Shadow Play (1961 The Twilight Zone episode - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

    Also read references to a bus station episode where time repeats, but couldn't find the title.
