Something I found more interesting were the ratings numbers on page 25, the right half of an ad for A Current Affair.  Win, Lose or Draw got a 1.6 rating for the week given, sometime in December '88.  Did the WLoD fad die that quickly?

Here is another ad with a pic of Steve talking to the contestants on Scrabble.

Page 71

Interesting that in that same issue, they mention that Trump Card is heading into its second season, yet another article indicates how poorly it did.  Maybe at the time the magazine was printed, a second season was planned(?)

Admittedly, the page number kinda threw me off -- in Adobe Reader, it's Page 99. Still, very interesting ad. :)

Until reality sets in and no station buys your program, a second season is always planned.

the 3-16-81 issue has a very small ad from Metromedia mentioning "Rodeo Drive" with Peter Tomarken is available for fall '81.  In the same ad is "Super Pay Cards", the history books show which one got sold.

Would this have been the same "Rodeo Drive" that got picked up nearly a decade later, in 1990, by Lifetime, with comedian-impressionist Louise DuArt hosting, and produced by Jay Wolpert?

Now in Page 48 there is an article about NBC developing game show pilots.  Well, the net in general and they say they have a game show development deal with Allen Funt for a Candid Camera Game

On Page 27 there is an article for a gamedy that was considered called How's your Love Life?  Produced by Bob and Sande Stewart and distributed by Viacom. Also on Page 31, It talks about King World buying the rights to Squares and Burt Reynolds being under consideration for host.  Also, Fred Silverman and Dan Enright starting a syndication company and reviving the show Life Begins at 80.
