Marshall or Bergeron?

Tattletales would have to rank in there somewhere - at least everybody brought home a little money.

I'm not so sure about that. Sure, we've heard of it, but to an average tv viewer, aside from the noticing housewifes, who would know that a little celebrity game show offered money to the audience? (Yes, i'm aware that it said that on the ticket....)

Can't confirm figures from a 1970s episode (someone here who knows Charlie O. could get that answer) but at a taping I attended in 1985 (as WOF was ending its second syndicated season and was within a month of sending Family Feud packing) that audience was slightly more than half-filled. And this was in the spring and the California weather was not treacherous. This taping took place on a Saturday in the early evening.
