In addition, "Love Me Love Me Not" aired at 6:30pm from 9/29-10/24/86. "Make Me Laugh" and "Gong Show" also aired in late night on and off for a couple years starting in Oct 84. The '70's "Candid Camera" was one of the non-game shows that filled the slots.

I remember in 88 or 89 that USA would "test their transmission equipment" which meant that LMAD and the program after it aired without sound.
