Ah, no love for Pyramid or Press Your Luck on channel 6. Odd as they cleared the 10 and 10:30 CBS shows previously (Pyramid, Child's Play).

Ah, no love for Pyramid or Press Your Luck on channel 6. Odd as they cleared the 10 and 10:30 CBS shows previously (Pyramid, Child's Play).

When did they clear Pyramid?

 

[Ccook55]

Before the 1983 season as I recall. Child's Play wasn't aired in our market (Atlanta) so I asked a friend who lived in Orlando to record an episode and the tail of that day's Pyramid was on it. (Pyramid did air here, on an independent on delay).

I saw on here that In the fall of 1982 that WCPX aired reruns of Mary Tyler Moore in place of Pyramid.

 

[Ccook55]

Upon further review, you're correct. That Pyramid show on the tape I had was what we had in Atlanta and I sent that to my friend for recording. I skimmed through Google News Archive, and yes, Mary Tyler Moore did bump Pyramid with Child's Play from CBS following.

[installLSC]

ABC's Friday Night Movie "Spraggue" (yes that's the proper spelling) was a failed TV pilot, which explains both the odd 90 minute running time and a movie premiere in June.
Which is odder, KMOD airing "Mayberry RFD" in 1984 or WOFL airing "Fish" reruns at any time? I wonder if "Fish" was sold as part of the "Barney Miller" rerun package, just like "Ropers" episodes being included in "Three's Company" packages.

 

[RandTV]

I put in "The Joker's World" instead of "Wild". LOL!

WOFL ran HAWAII FIVE-O for an astonishing number of years, dating back to 1984 as seen here, up through 2002. 18 years with relatively few breaks during that time.
