I've heard this before and I've never believed it. I just have trouble picturing a 58-year-old man totally uprooting himself from NYC after 33 years and moving to the opposite coast for employment if he's planning on retiring in a year and a half anyway.

Another random question from a past memory...check out the Feb. 22, 1982 issue. On PDF page 15 (literally page 11), there's an ad for a Harvey Korman show called Knock Knock.

In Peter Marshall's book, he mentions HSq staffer Jay Redack had a TV pilot with Paul Lynde in mind. However, Paul never showed up, and when Redack went to Paul's house to confront him, he found him dead, or later found out, I don't remember. Would anyone know if this was indeed the project Jay had in mind for Paul?

Yes, according to the Lynde biography Center Square by Steve Wilson and Joe Florenski. They say that Redack showed up at Paul's house with a film crew on a Sunday afternoon, but not getting an answer at the door, Redack left an angry note and they all left. Other friends found the body the next day after Lynde failed to show up at a party.

The book describes Knock Knock as "celebrities pulling Candid Camera-eque stunts on people". The book also says that Lynde "agreed to do a segment" for the show, it doesn't say that Paul was to host the series.

How nostalgic seeing stories about Fox before Mr. Murdoch bought it and (analog) AM stereo. Interestingly, Jay Redack was doing Knock Knock for Metromedia Producers Corporation, with whom Jay Wolpert was once associated. And there's a picture of Bill Shatner with the Commodore VIC-20, "The wonder computer of the 1980s" (the Commodore 64 turned out to be much more popular -- I know where there is still one in service). I bought a VIC-20 in December of that year on Bill Shatner's say-so and learned how to program in VIC BASIC on it. Also got the companion cassette recorder and 300 baud modem. Yes sir, mine was all tricked out.

GSF says I posted my last post yesterday while it was just today. But anyways here is something about $1M COAL

http://www.davidgleason.com/Archive%20BC/B...-1985-10-28.pdf

There is an article about $1M COAL forgot the page #. But they say it's targeted for stations without Wheel. They signed on WJXT who carried Wheel as well as WKRG and WTVY and they both carried Wheel at the time if I recall.

109 in PDF/104 in the real magazine. When you go to the magazine archive, there's a search engine you can use that's fairly reliable.

The article mentions it as a Telepictures show, which would've been right before the Lorimar merger.

(searches)

Actually, the merger was announced two weeks prior.
