Yeah, I think Jamey misread the question.  Pretty badly, in fact.

I think you've missed the point...again. I'm pretty sure Matt knows where the magazine PDFs are located.

[quote name=\'Jamey Greek\' post=\'255085\' date=\'Jan 19 2011, 08:06 PM\']They say they recently created a game show pilot called Trivial Combat[/quote]
If by "recently" you mean "twenty-five years ago", then sure, "recently."

(Also, a) I don't see any such reference on page 128, and b) even if I did? 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.

I don't think he was too late, necessarily. I do think that the basic hypothesis of slapping the word "trivia" on a pedestrian Q&A concept as a recipe for instant success was flawed.

I read about Barbara Corday the then-president of Columbia Pictures Television.  It was mentioned that there was going to be a game show in first-run syndication called Trivial Combat.

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".

For those of you who *also* said "boy, it sure would be helpful if he'd tell you what page it was on instead of expecting you to search through the entire 104 page document," (or equivalent sentiments with non ER-friendly phrasings) it's on pages 16-17.
