[quote name=\'Jamey Greek\' post=\'255246\' date=\'Jan 21 2011, 08:07 PM\']I also found out via the 1/7/1985 issue that Headline Chasers was a package deal that came with WOF and J! and WKMG (then WCPX) lost WOF as a result.[/quote]

No, no, a thousand times no! I seriously believe you are misreading trade ads horribly here. King World was selling the show on the strength of Wheel and J!. No such deal existed.

In this issue dated February 4, 1980, you might want to check out page 71 to see how they promoted something called TV-POWWW!

How would you have fared?

By the way, we had a TV-POWWW! here in Los Angeles on KTTV (channel 11) around 1979; hosted by L.A. kids' show fave "Sheriff John" Rovick. Another of those who should have been a game show host himself. But that's just me.....

Cordially,

And finally, I noticed some primetime shows that ran for an hour were offered as half-hour reruns. Can't imagine what that would've done for continuity, esp. a serial like "Dynasty".

I remember this...some of my old TVGuides (especially around the mid-80s) have those listings. I guess they just edited them down to half-hour and ran them in order. Maybe they figured an hour just wouldn't sell well. Didn't last too long though.

I thought they just made everything 2-parters?

Sort of on the same topic, but I remember reading that the hour long New Scooby Doo Movies from the 70's were offered as half hour shows as part of the package of Scooby Doo reruns when that show went into syndication in the early 80s.

Also, I saw a few episodes of the New Scooby Movies back when Kids WB aired Scooby reruns in 2002/2003 and they aired them as two half hour episodes, usually with Part 1 airing on Monday or Thursday and then part 2 airing Tuesday or Friday(another show was airing in Scooby's timeslot on Wednesdays for a while).

That being said, I would assume that hour long shows in primetime would have probably aired as two half hour shows in syndication as well for a while. Although if I had the choice I would rather see a full hour long show unedited, then an hour long show split into two half hours, airing on back to back days, but that's just me

On Page 120 There is a picture of the Catch Phrase Pilot with Rick Barry as host. Any idea who he is?

Never heard of him and is it Rick Barry?

He's a Basketball Hall of Famer who played for the Golden State Warriors and several other NBA teams in the 60s and 70s. And that is indeed the one and only Rick Barry. Accept no imitations.

[quote name=\'ChuckNet\' post=\'253469\' date=\'Dec 27 2010, 06:45 PM\']Anyone check out the early 1981 issues? Among the noteworthy shows that didn't make it to air that fall were Chuck Barris's $1M Talent Search and attempted Dollar a Second revial w/Bob Eubanks, as well as Hittin' Home, an Hour Magazine-type show to have been hosted by Chuck Woolery...one issue also featured a profile of moral crusader Rev. Donald Wildmon and his joint efforts w/Jerry Fallwell to try and clean up TV.

Chuck Donegan (The Illustrious "Chuckie Baby")[/quote]

Now, what if Hittin' Home ever became a series? Do you think Chuck would have left Wheel to do that? And we would have seen Pat a lot earlier? By the way, he hosted the aformentioned Press Your Luck pilot distributed by Columbia Pictures Television.

On Page 42 There is an article and one paragraph talks about Catch Phrase and They are also talking about Golden West TV syndicating PYL on the next page! Page 43!

http://www.davidgleason.com/Archive%20BC/B...-1985-01-14.pdf

Oh yeah, the PYL mention is a brief mention.

Don't see anything of the sort on page 42 or 43. Really you have to stop this.

Just today Dawg. I rode my golf cart today. Also, I gave those to you because I figured you'd like them but, guess not. I at least, posted something rare. I posted a pic of the Catch Phrase pilot with Rick Barry as host. Thank you very much.

And another thing, there was talk about PYL being syndicated and I gave you the wrong page numbers. But you are too d*** lazy to read the magazine until you spot it! So there!
