This is a fun thread, and as I was going back to see what was on, I realized I've done this exercise before on my own... but long before I knew anyone else worth sharing the results with!

Wednesday, January 16, 1963
10:00  Say When
10:30  Play Your Hunch
11:00  Price is Right
11:30  Concentration
12:00  Your First Impression
12:30  Truth or Consequences
2:00  Password
2:30  House Party/Seven Keys
3:00  To Tell the Truth
3:30  Who Do You Trust?
4:00  Match Game

Given those choices, hands down the favorite would be Password.

This is really, really fun -- I'm enjoying each of these posts.

Tuesday, August 23, 1988?
10:00: Family Feud or Sale of the Century
10:30: Card Sharks or Classic Concentration
11:00: The Price Is Right or Wheel of Fortune
11:30: Win, Lose, or Draw (assuming I'm not watching Price)
12:00: Super Password
12:30: Scrabble

Out of this lot...I really can't pick a favorite, sorry. All of them were winners, and still are.

For the record (not that anyone's asking), the site never gave me syndie choices. I'm pretty sure Feud and TTD aired in the 7:00 hour on WTKR, with TTD going up against TJW on WAVY (weird). I would've watched all three, alternating between TTD and TJW, the latter probably being my higher priority.

Can't get into TVTango right now... but I was born on a Sunday so it looks like it would have to be College Bowl.  

At least I was born early enough in the morning to catch it.

gotta go with   password
NBC didnt air ANY primetime CBS went off air at 9pm/ was this normal for summer back then[/quote]
At that time, all 3 networks aired full nighttime schedules all year.  The site probably just didn't have the data.

Well I was born on July 23, 1986 in Marietta, GA.  I would have seen

Since WAGA never carried $25k Pyramid I would have seen Card Sharks, TPIR, J!, BTB85, $1M COAL

On 11 Alive, WOF, and Scrabble

USA's game show reruns

So uh, there's the obvious choice for what would be my number one, but there are a number of other good ones that were there. My birthday happened to fall during that very short period CBS was airing all four of Card Sharks, $25k Pyramid, TPIR and PYL, so I'd be tuning in to Pyramid and PYL on there. On NBC, we had my favorite GS lineup of them all, minus Classic Concentration, so any NBC game show would've also made my must see list then. Then, of course, we have the good ole' syndie offerings at night (WOF, J!, $100k Pyramid, Headline Chasers, and don't forget TTD and TJW were still clinging to life then), followed by NBC Must-See TV Thursday... which all, well, speak for themselves...

/Sorry Raygor, no Ewing drama...

Looking at my listings on TV Tango, I got a lot to choose from. On Jan. 17th, 1985, the following game shows were on the air at the time:

Trivia Trap, Family Feud, (New) $25,000 Pyramid, Press Your Luck, Price is Right, Time Machine, $ale of the Century, Wheel of Fortune, Scrabble, Super Password, and Jeopardy!

Given that list, I'm just ready to declare All of the Above (except for Time Machine since IDK what that one was about). But looking at the primetime lineup, and given I was born at 6:03pm PST I'm going to go off the board and say Night Court since the episode was "Nuts About Harry;" a little ironic since I'd be born with what would later be diagnosed as high functioning autism (and NO, I'm NOT trying to pull a Tiller, god help me if I ever become that).

Good topic.  The Waybac Machine is set to Monday, November 26, 1962.

10:00 AM NBC, Say When!
10:30 AM NBC, Play Your Hunch
11:00 AM NBC, The Price Is Right
11:30 AM ABC, Yours for a Song, NBC, Concentration
12:00 Noon NBC, Truth or Consequences
12:30 PM NBC, Your First Impression
2:00 PM CBS, Password
2:30 PM ABC, Seven Keys
3:00 PM ABC, Queen for a Day
3:30 PM ABC, Who Do You Trust?, CBS, To Tell the Truth

7:30 PM CBS, To Tell the Truth (again)
8:00 PM CBS, I've Got a Secret
9:30 PM NBC, The Price Is Right (again)
10:30 PM CBS, Stump the Stars

For me, it would be Concentration, Password, or To Tell the Truth, but overall, what's not to like?

And a "hi" right back at ya.  Too bad you aren't from Pennsylvania, that would've been marginally more awesome.

For me 10/01/1982:

10:00 am (11:30 local) - The New $25,000 Pyramid (CBS)
10:30 am (12:00 local) - Wheel of Fortune (NBC)
11:00 am (12:30 local) - The Price is Right (CBS)
12:00 pm ( 1:30 local) - Family Feud (ABC)
 4:00 pm (  5:30 local) - Tattletales

Child's Play aired on CBS at 10:30am. Liked watching Bill, but find children shows very non-entertaining. Plus, the old Alan Thicke music and Susan was still on WOF (unless they had started the auditions by that time)

One thing that i found odd, some how, our local CTV affiliate (Canada) would manage to have the next day's TPIR airing the previous night at 6:00 pm local time. I remember staying home from school some days and be ticked that I had already seen the show the night before when CBS ran it the following day.

Also, our US affiliates came from Bangor, Maine at the time so I don't know which shows were actually seen in my area.

Semi-related:

I always enjoyed the fact that the minute I was born, 9:52PM, "The New Bill Cosby Show" was airing that Monday night on CBS. Neat theme music, as I recall.
