Unless you're 40 friggin' years old, you have zero right to call me "son".

Please continue your inaccurate obsession. I'm sure it's all you're gonna talk about during dinner.

You're telling me someone else was trying to cash in on the success of Trivial Pursuit by pumping out a pilot with the word "trivia" in the title? I am shocked. SHOCKED.[/quote]
It's on the page before, and nothing more than a one-sentence mention about what Columbia had in mind for future projects.

A few points.

-When I was in college, I used to read the back issues, and I remember something from a spring-1985 issue about a trivia pilot airing on ABC. IIRC, "Trivial" was in the title, but I thought it was a form of "Trivial Pursuit".

Found it...apparently, it was under a "Trivial Pursuit" title. Anyone remember it?

-At the risk of turning this into a post everything we see here that's mildly game show related, a thread sometime ago asked about a Bob Hilton pilot called "Fun For the Money". The pilot clip eventually showed up on Youtube, but I couldn't find it. It was made in 1985, I'm guessing for the next fall.

-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".
