[BobbyNBC10]

What?. No Tic Tac Dough on any of the stations then?. And no NBC game shows in Richmond?. Who carried TTD and Bullseye in those areas in the previous season , And why did WWBT choose movies instead of games?. I guess NBC raised hell at WWBT for not airing Blockbusters-Cullen, Wheel and Battlestars.

And if I were running WAVY TV then, I would have gotten TTD from whoever aired it the previous season and dropped it before Fall 1981 began, either WTKR or WVEC whoever it was.

BTW, did WOR appear on cable anywhere then, so that viewers could get their daily dose of Wink Martindale and the Mean Dragon?. Also when did WOR and also WGN appear in that particular edition of TV Guide?. I know thru the 1980's and 1990's TV Guide expanded their additions by adding more channels like CNN and MTV .

 

[Markd]

There appeared to only be 3 game shows in production at NBC back in early 82 as Regis appeared to ba an hour by then. I did not remember Regis on NBC but he was on for a little while there. I also remember Diff'rent Strokes reruns at 10 AM and not Regis for an hour. Still 2 of these gane shows were on WAVY so even i9f you had cable you still missed a game show that was supposed to air. Hopefully north of Richmond, you would mhave WRC TV on cable.

Can you post a SUnday schedule from that time period as well? I am sure by then TV 27 was secular from about 11 AM to about 7 PM. My guess.

 

[BobbyNBC10]

NBC in early 1982 had Blockbusters, which would go by April, but Bill Cullen would have another new game for Goodson-Todman called Child's Play in Fall 1982, which was sandwiched between The New $25,000 Pyramid and The Price Is Right, Wheel, Battlestars,which along with Blockbusters would be axed to make room for the soap Texas which would get shot down by TPIR, and Password Plus which would disappear and be repalced by The Doctors. P+ would win an Emmy for Best Game Show in 1982. P+ would return in 9/ 1984 on the same Network, NBC ,as Super Password with Bert Convy, as Tom Kennedy who replaced Allen Ludden on P+ in 10/1980, would by this time be MCing Body Language on CBS. Also during the tumultuous time for NBC games in 1982, the soap opera Search For Tomorrow would move from CBS to NBC when The Big Eye added the soap Capitol.

 

[BobbyNBC10]

I forgot to add Child's Play was on CBS.

 

[jwgreek8606]

bobby buddy,

That was the time when stations axed game shows for PM Magazine, Mash reruns and stuff. If we had the internet we would send a smattering of angry emails to those station managers!

 

[BobbyNBC10]

Yes, if you and the 'net had been around at that time, we'd send hundreds of e-mails to station managers. I think some managers would later be fired for other things like not getting ratings up and things like that, although not necessarily because of not putting on game shows, but it could 've been a factor in that.
