Then again, weren't quite a few Heatter-Quigley shows on NBC, and before "the great purge" at that? (In addition to HS, off the top of my head I can think of Las Vegas Gambit, High Rollers, and To Say the Least being on NBC, with Gambit on CBS, and All-Star Blitz on ABC.)

If the purge occurred in 1978, then its possible LV Gambit, the second Trebek run of Rollers, and the last two years of Squares are in a vault someplace. All-Star Blitz was Merrill Heatter Productions in association with Peter Marshall enterprises. Quigley retired in 1981 upon the cancellation of LV Gambit and Syndie Vegas Squares and broke up the partnership at the point, while Heatter continued to produce his own shows in the 80s to limited success. The international format rights to the Heatter solo shows, which include Bargain Hunters, Last Word, Battlestars, and All-Star Blitz, and the legendary Malcolm, are owned by King World
