4 PM TV POWW Hour

WDCA Ch. 20 Washington, DC (Ind.)
12 N Channel 20 Goes To School

By the way, I guess WBTV had no faith in Stockard Channing! :D
 
I didn't move to the DC area until 1983 so I
don't know anything about Channel 20 Goes
To School, unless it was some sort of in-school
instructional program. TV POWW was an interactive
game that a number of stations inserted into breaks
in their afternoon kids' blocks. It was a telephone
game in which kids tried to hit a target by yelling,
"POWW!" If successful, they won a prize. (Los Angeles
viewers may remember a similar format for adults on
Ch. 9 called "The Golden Shot Movie.")

CBS gave Stockard Channing a couple of shots at her
own sitcom and neither made it. So WBTV obviously
figured it was best to pre-empt her; the station had a
pretty high pre-emption rate until recent years.

Around the same time as these listings, Baltimore's WMAR-TV channel 2 had something similar as "TV POWW" that they ran during the 4-5pm block which I believe was Tom & Jerry cartoons and reruns of Good Times. I don't remember exactly the name of WMAR's game but I do know it was not called TV POWWW but it was interactive such as Tic Tac Toe for example. Anyway it didn't last long and I think I know why. One afternoon I can remember watching the late great Stu Kerr doing this game LIVE and asked for a caller. It was a teenager ( I still remember the "oh man..dude" line he gave to Kerr ). To make a long story short, the teenager lost the game and when it flashed across the screen "you lose turkey", the teenager says " F*** YOU !!!" And then Stu Kerr with a smile on his face says "...well same to you...and have a good afternoon", Then came "Good Times". The next day the game NOT played and I don't think it ever came back. Stu would leave WMAR a short time later but not because of this.

I would love to hear Stu Kerr's OFF camera reaction to this as he was known to have used some rather salty language over the years. ;D

1. Oh, so it was kinda like WPIX/New York's "PIX PIX PIX" game! Gotcha...

2. I just thought it was comical that WBTV would go so far as to overflow syndicated programming into its primetime lineup! When did "Muppet Show" normally air on WBTV at this time?
 
Before "PM Magazine" began airing five nights
a week on WBTV in the fall of '79, "Muppet
Show" had aired Fridays at 7:30. I haven't
been able to track down when the Muppets
aired after September 1979; one time slot I
have is Tuesday 8 PM on September 11, 1979,
and that may have been its time slot, paired
with "Happy Days" reruns at 8:30. I'm not sure
what aired on April 29, probably "The White Shadow."
