I see no WAVE of desire for Let's Make A Deal or Match Game, and
unless The John Forsythe Show was run on delay, or this week was
preempted OTO, they didn't favor the Bachelor Headmaster either.

What, no Ange at 9:00? (Speaking of unforgiven!)
Did WCPO air it somewhere out of pattern?

Was this a one-time or a very short-run filler after
Steve Lawrence bit the dust in mid-December?
There's no mention in Brooks & Marsh of a run in the
65-66 season.

The full title was initially Hollywood Talent Scouts, and was hosted by Art Linkletter. According to Brooks & Marsh, the series had two runs, the first from June to September 1965, and again from December 1965 to September 1966. In the first run, one of those who appeared on the program who later made it big was future Smothers Brothers regular Pat Paulsen. This airing was from its second run, by which time its title had been expanded to Art Linkletter's Hollywood Talent Scouts.
 
John Forsythe's show apparently was pre-empted
in Louisville; I can't find it in other 1966 TV Guides.
WAVE also had a habit of pre-empting NBC's 4 PM
show until NBC started going dark at that time; that
means that "Somerset" wasn't carried there in the '70s.
Eventually, Ch. 3 carried Mike Douglas from 12:30-1:30
and began clearing NBC's 1:30 show (I know this was true
after "Days Of Our Lives" went to an hour but I think the
practice started before then). "Let's Make A Deal" had to
move to ABC and WLKY before it began airing at 1:30 in
Louisville.

WCPO ran "Ange" and "Hazel" at 7:30 and 8 PM, respectively,
on Tuesdays. "Rawhide" was airing on CBS in that timeslot,
was on its last legs, and was about to be replaced by "Daktari,"
which was (at least initially) pre-empted on Ch. 9.

And yes, the show is "Hollywood Talent Scouts" with Art Linkletter.
TV Guide simply abbreviated the title. The show lasted through the
summer of 1966. BTW, it was the fourth attempt to revive Arthur
Godfrey's classic '50s talent show; Sam Levenson had hosted "Celebrity
Talent Scouts" in 1960, while Jim Backus hosted a version
in 1962 and Merv Griffin did in 1963 (the Backus/Griffin version was called
"Talent Scouts").
