January Schedule Changes Starting January 7th
« Reply #30 on: December 20, 2007, 03:05:40 AM »
If there are 65 shows or more in a series, I see nothing wrong with running them weekdays straight through for a year (4 runs).

 Of course, I don't just watch GSN, there are other channels I watch, so I don't really notice when something is on more than once, so I never get the feeling of "rerun abuse."  The variety of series is better that it has been in the recent past.

Amen, brother. Amazing what a little fresh air does for you. :)

So approx. nine months isn't pretty soon? If it's doing as well as it seems to be you would think they would want to stretch out the "fresh" episodes longer so it wouldn't get so old so fast.
But, anyway, for some reason I was thinking it was going to be on the weekday schedule that way. My mistake.

I don't consider nine months to be "pretty soon" at all.  But that's just me--YMMV.

If Trebek DD stayed at just one episode a week, I'd say chances are high it wouldn't get to the end of the run before GSN puts something else it its place.  The double run at least increases the odds that they do, while still being not run into the ground.

Looking forward to seeing TTD with Thom McKee and WOF on weekdays.  I also enjoy
Trivia Trap and NYSI late nights as well as Trebek's DD and Monty's BTC.

Caldwell's hosting style fell along the lines of "robot with an obsession over red boxes".  Wayne's hosting style...well...it was neither. And Wayne was only the *2nd* worst thing about that show (and that number drops if you count each of the bonus game's flaws seperately)

And actually, having seen episodes from various points in Caldwell's one season, from early to late episodes - he actually DID get a bit better as the year wore on.

Speaking with someone a few years ago who worked on the show, he was great with a script. But was totally lost otherwise.

He also worked on Joker's Wild during the same time frame and mentioned the host was a nice fellow.

Some day I'd love to hear from someone who says he wasn't...

As for Patrick Wayne, think of what someone who hated game shows would imagine a game show host to be like and up the caffeine.

I enjoyed Top Card. At least the first format, before it got too country musicy.

Or one could go to this page on the same site, download the PDF, and find out his entire life story.  (Hint: it doesn't involve porn.)

Also in the PDF: a shot of Caldwell and Martindale together on the new TTD set.

Or you could ask someone who has a Tic Tac Dough press kit for the 1985-6 season.  Hey, that's me!

The highlights...

*  Caldwell was 34 when he started TTD.
*  He's from Akron, OH.
*  Attended the Air Force Academy and Arizona State University, where he majored in finance.
*  Did modeling assignments and local TV commercials in the Boston area.
*  Did a dinner theater warm-up act in Phoenix while modeling.
*  Co-host of "Good Day" on WCVB, Boston.
*  Co-hosted "P.M. Magazine" in New York City for 2 years.
*  During the "P.M. Magazine" stint, Caldwell wrote a manual and gave classes on "How To Get a Job as a Television Host".  (Apparently there wasn't a follow-up about how to succeed as a host.)
*  6'2", 175 lbs. at the time.

I'm stopping before this mini bio turns into a personals ad.

If anybody really wants a full copy of the bio, I can scan it and send it via e-mail.  One at a time, please.
