Had a free moment to think about this - IIRC, the last game show to air in the 3:30 time slot was MG'77 (11/4/77), with the last game show to air in the 3pm time slot being PiR (sometime in '75).[/quote]
Yes on the 3:30pm, No on the 3pm for in August 1975, The Price Is Right moved to 10:30am, Match Game '75 moved to 3pm and Tattletales moved to 3:30pm. This lasted until CBS started creeping sitcom reruns back into daytime on the first of December with the stripping of All In The Family at the three o'clock hour, shifting MG75 and TT back to their familiar time periods of 3:30 and 4:00 (all times Eastern over most CBS stations).

I assume we're just talking about CBS here, yes? Because MG/HS aired from 3-4 ET in 1983-84, and in many markets Scrabble/Scattergories aired in the same block ten years later.

It is my understanding that Aaron was just talking about CBS so I was rolling with that ball under that belief in my quoted reply above.
