Recently I found several \"Whew!\" episodes from 1979. I have only had a chance to view 2 episodes so far, but every time, the blocker won the round.
My question is, are there any overall statistics for the 13 months the show was on the air showing what percentage of the rounds were won by the blocker and the charger? I remember when Blockbusters went off in 1982, Bill Cullen mentioned specific percentages of wins by solo players vs. family pairs, and while it wasn\'t a 50/50 split, it was surprisingly pretty even.
Also, I read on wikipedia (which I know shouldn\'t be a \"go to\" source) the reason \"Whew!\" was canceled was because it was up against \"The Hollywood Squares\" on NBC. Squares was canceled June 20, 1980, just 1 month after \"Whew!\" was canceled. Can I assume CBS had no idea that Hollywood Squares would be off in June? I would like to believe if they did know this, they would have petitioned CBS to keep \"Whew!\" on a bit longer.
Thank you,
Bill
