Jamey, you are on the thinnest of ice. I personally have no problem with you posting all the links you want. If people don't like it, they don't have to click on them. However, we expect that the links you post are accurate. Your failure to provide a proper link does not mean that someone else is lazy. You need to make your links accurate -- with correct page numbers -- or you need to stop posting in this thread. If you cannot do the former, I can certainly take care of the latter.

OK, Here is the right link here. I wasn't paying attention or thinking straight y'all.

http://www.davidgleason.com/Archive%20BC/B...-1985-01-21.pdf

This link right here Page 42. They talk about Catch Phrase there is a Paragraph about Catch Phrase and it says that Rick Barry will host. But As we all know that did not happen. Art James hosted instead. Also On Page 43. Golden West Television was considering launching PYL as a syndicated strip.

Are you happy?

I am not a moderator, but I suspect strongly you would do very well to curtail the 'tude in a hurry.

Just a friendly suggestion. Do with it what you will.

As we say in the casino industry...thanks for playing.

In fairness, that's kind of interesting to me. "The show's 115 episodes will be offered in 74 US markets in which the program did not air during 1983-1984 network broadcast on NBC-TV." In the first place, wow, that's a lot of markets that didn't clear the show. Yes, noon time slot, local news, I just didn't think it would be that many. Second, did they really make a specific effort to only offer the show in those 74 markets? If somebody outside the 74 really wanted it, don't you think they'd make a deal?

Also, Jamey, the only one controlling whether you're blocked in this thread is you. Making a big deal about it, as if you're being treated unfairly, isn't doing you any favors.

Maybe the phrasing was to specify they weren't selling to station groups?

On Page 80 There is a Game show-like contest during 3 for the money. During KYW's game show block of Feud, $100k NTT, and LMAD

and speaking of NTT I found out that for the second season that Television Program Entertainment Al Masini's company was going to distribute Name That Tune but they could not renew enough stations for a second season.

For the record, people, it's page 29 of the PDF, page 104 of the magazine. It's about a one-paragraph blurb, but the one interesting thing I found was that they planned removing the "90-second prize plug at the end of show". I'm guessing that was the list of what went into the $100K prize package. Perhaps they were going to do a straight cash ~~homey~~ jackpot like Masini's other show Star Search.

I stumbled upon ratings for the first couple weeks of the 1984 season. Apparently NTT pulled a 7.7 rating, which would put it somewhere near the top nowadays. Amazing how ratings have changed in 25+ years.

Feud was being toppled by Wheel, which wasn't yet the juggernaut it became; Jeopardy! wasn't yet on the scene, and Joker and Tic Tac were also on the outs.

If Name That Tune pulled a 7.7 in the last week of reported ratings, it would have finished .1 behind the #1, Wheel of Fortune, making it a surefire hit that would be instantly renewed. In 1985, a rating like that was apparently not enough to keep it around.
