My favorite NBC game show were Card Sharks and High Rollers (the second series). But, I don't have much to compare them to since I was only 2 or three years old at the time when I watched them. At the time, I knew I liked these shows, but hadn't a clue as to which television network they aired on.

In regards to the KYW block, it started at 3pm. It lasted for 2 hours I believe. I know $ale of the Century, Scrabble & the syndicated TPIR was on each day. Not sure what was the forth one was. [/quote]
The KYW afternoon GS block from 1984-89 was originally LMAD and Lange NTT which began in 9/84. From 1/85-9/85 it was $otC/Daytime WOF/LMAD/NTT/Syndie Feud. From 9/85-1/86 it was Scrabble/Super Password/WHeel/80s Newlywed, in 1/86 Kennedy TPIR was added to the afternoon block when moved from 7PM to 4:30PM EST. 9/86 saw TPIR replaced with Davidson HS. The Scrab/SP/Wheel/HS/Newlywed block lasted through March 1988, when $100K Pyramid moved from late nights to 4:30PM on KYW(Newlywed went to late nights at that point). September 1988-December 1988 had Scrabble/Wheel/Squares in the afternoon block. From December 1988-June 1989, it was Scrabble and Wheel only, then Scrabble and Squares from June-September 1989. Finally, Jackpot and 3rd Degree aired from 3-4PM from September 1989-January 1990, then the afternoon KYW GS block died. [/quote]
How many different time slots did $100K Pyramid have in Philly? I didn't start watching it on a regular basis until spring 1987 and I do remember it being on in the late afternoon at that point. Also, I do remember that Wheel aired in the late afternoon, but didn't know that it was on tape delay until you mentioned it on ATGS several years ago. At what point did KYW start this practice?

KYW aired Santa Barbara for most of its run on an 18 hour tape delay(aired at 9AM EST, it was the episode most saw at 3PM EST the previous weekday). In the case of NBC game shows(those shows they actually chose to pick up), KYW aired the show at its network sanctioned time or later as far as I remember. Clark $100K Pyramid aired at 7:30PM on WCAU from 10/85-3/86, then came back on WCAU at 5PM from 3/87-9/87. KYW picked up the show for the 1987-88 season, it aired first at 4:30AM from 9/87-3/88, and then moved to 4:30PM from 3/88-9/88.
