As opposed to being in more or less Jeopardy.
If you didn’t create it, it isn’t your content.

I'll take your word for it.
I suppose you can still learn stuff on TLC, though it would be more in the Goofus & Gallant sense, that is (don't do what these parents did)"- Travis Eberle, 2012

In case anyone actually wanted to see the magazine...
http://www.americanradiohistory.com/Archive-BC/BC-1996/BC-1996-12-16.pdf

Starts at page 42.

Glancing through the article, I noticed a full page ad on page 48 for Match Game, Family Feud, What's My Line? and Card Sharks revivals...someone at All-American (now Fremantle) had some high hopes for the year 1997. :-P
"They're both Norman Jewison movies, Troy, but we did think of one Jew more famous than Tevye."

Now celebrating his 22nd season on GSF!

I notice that as the years went on Paramount wasn't as in your face about advertising their stuff as they were in the 80s. There was only a total of three ads in this issue.
