You completely missed "That Awful Quiz Show" on page 79. How can I trust you as a reliable source for these ads if you don't get all of them?That Awful Quiz Show — which did get sold, by the way — lasted only 13 weeks and, yes, stood true to its title, so I didn’t even bother. And both shows were by a syndicator that wasn’t Viacom, Worldvision (which were the biggies at the time), Group W, or the studios.

Until That Awful Quiz Show, the last game show that had two hosts was The Better Sex (Sarah Purcell and Bill Anderson); that didn’t last long either.
The batteries in your Klauss-Gibson need replaced.

Yeah, I always thought it was called That **** Quiz Show...and the only reason I've heard of this show is because I remember seeing as a question eons ago while playing the TV Edition of Trivial Pursuit.

With Name That Tune possibly coming back, wasn't there a B&C ad from the late-80s for the proposed Peter Allen version? I haven't seen anything in the David Gleason archives, but I know someone here mentioned an ad with Peter at his own special piano, and I always thought that sounded cool.
I may have to look for that, but there was an ad from early 1985 saying that the Jim Lange NTT was slated to be renewed for Season 2 and under new producer Television Program Enterprises (TPE, meaning for Atlanta, it would’ve been moved from WXIA on Saturday nights to WSB, where Tom Kennedy’s version aired)...only to be pulled the plug after the immediate success of Jeopardy left that other newbie Anything For Money in the dust, and $100,000 Pyramid starting to get clearances left and right.
What the hell difference does it make if the show is distributed by one or the other or another still? Stations aren't beholden to syndicators.
