Moderator Chris... any memories or details to share about this show?

\"That's My Line\" was practically \"What's My Line?\" without the game show element. Unlike Goodson-Todman's other game shows, \"That's My Line\" was G-T's answer to \"Real People\", as it featured people with unusual occupations.
The show was seen for a 3-week run in August 1980 on CBS, then returned from February to April 1981.

Bob had little to do on the show other than introduce some of the segmants and make small talk with the two female co-hostesses/reporters. I do remember Bob ended each segment with the catch phrase, \"And that's my line.\"

They did allow some time--at least in the summer replacement version of the show--for Barker to do some \"T or C\"-type stunts with people from the audience--the sort of things he was doing in his \"Fun and Games\" state fair shows.

I would have liked the show better if they had put in some WML? games. Tiiu Leek did appear on the Ward TTTT as an occasional panelist.

They did bring Kerry Millerick in near the end to add a little more male perspective. The theme music was a cute little tuba-driven thing by Bob Cobert.
