I don't recall the $1,000,000 chance of a lifetime. WTOL always did pretty well considering it had competition from another affiliate in Detroit. I didn't know they had Wheel of Fortune/Jeopardy back then. Thanks for posting this.
 
I made a mistake. I meant to say that the three episodes of the Charades game show Body Language that Vicki Lawrence & Ted Lange did together originally respectively aired on December 30, 1985, January 2, 1986, and January 3, 1986. My bad.

anabate123, I'll get to that eventually.
 
I'm guessing that ch. 2 carried the WWF at 11am in those days.

Yep, they did...WJBK had WWF syndicated shows right through the early years of their Fox affiliation. On Saturdays, it was "Superstars of Wrestling".
 
Was WUPW even on the air in '86? I moved to Toledo in '88 and it seems to me
they were a fairly new station at that time.

They first went on the air in September 1985; from this link from the Vintage Toledo TV site, WUPW was in TV Guide (at least in the Toledo-Lima edition, which also included listings from Detroit, Fort Wayne, and Dayton) from day one. I would imagine the same happened with the Detroit edition.
