How were the $20,000 Pyramid and Family Feud's ratings when the $20,000 Pyramid got cancelled? This is a subject that's always interested me....Of ABC's what could be considered "morning" block, from 1977 to 1980, it was basically the same - 11am (EST) was Happy Days reruns (supplanted in 1979 by Laverne and Shirley), 11:30 was Family Feud, and noon was $20,000 Pyramid.
When $20,000 Pyramid was cancelled in June 1980, the 11am-12pm hour was replaced by reruns of "Love Boat", and, since Love Boat took up an entire hour, Family Feud moved to the noon spot, where its devotion by stations eventually dropped off:
WPVI-6 in Philadelphia continued to air it at 11:30am, however, it was on a one-day delay. They did this up until "Loving" premiered in June 1983, at which point, for the summer, the show moved to (then)WTAF-29 and aired at noon. Once fall 1983 rolled around, daytime "Feud" was gone from Philly.
WJZ-13 (which was then ABC) in Baltimore also continued to air it at 11:30am too, but once fall 1980 dawned, they moved the "Love Boat" reruns from 10am to 11am and like that, daytime "Feud" was gone from Baltimore.
