If you will post a schedule showing the maximum number of game shows on the air at any one time, both network and syndicated, I'll put it in the archive. Count January 2, 1975 if it ups the total.

78-79 had "Liar's Club," "Love Experts" "Celeb. Charades" YDS!, "Cross Wits," TJW, DG, NG, TTD, and MML as strips. 79-80 dropped the first four but added MG and 3AC.

First off, my bad -- NBC only had three hours of games by that point, not four.  This is just my best guess at what the maximum was; I'll happily concede the point if wrong.

ABC
Blankety Blanks
Password
Split Second
Let's Make a Deal
The $10,000 Pyramid
The Big Showdown
The Money Maze

CBS
The Joker's Wild
Gambit
Now You See It
The Price Is Right
Match Game '75
Tattletales

NBC
Celebrity Sweepstakes
Wheel of Fortune
High Rollers
The Hollywood Squares
Jackpot
Blank Check

Syndie Weekly Games:
Celebrity Bowling
Celebrity Sweepstakes
Don Adams' Screen Test
The Hollywood Squares
Jeopardy!
Let's Make a Deal
Masquerade Party
Name That Tune
The New Treasure Hunt
The Price Is Right
Sports Challenge
The $25,000 Pyramid

Syndie Strips:
Concentration
Dealer's Choice
The Diamond Head Game
To Tell the Truth
Truth or Consequences
What's My Line?

The only difference on January 2 would be the absence of Blankety Blanks, the presence of Jeopardy! on NBC, and a couple of NBC substitutions (Name That Tune and Winning Streak for Blank Check and Wheel of Fortune).

Nice job with the list. It represents roughly what period in 1975? If you can solidify the facts I will put it in the archive.

Guinness was weekly. Also add Joker Joker Joker to the 1979-80 list of weekly syndies. Camouflage bowed in Feb 1980 as a weekly, also.

"Guinness Game" was on once a week.  The station I watched it on (Ch 10 Rochester) aired it every Sunday at 12 noon when it first debuted in the fall of 1979.

[quote name=\'zachhoran\' date=\'May 31 2004, 08:07 AM\'][quote name=\'chris319\' date=\'May 31 2004, 03:35 AM\'] Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but neither Sande Stewart nor Stone-Stanley has been involved in the current rash of prime-time reality programs [/quote]
Stone-Stanley did produce the Mole, which IIRC ABC has stopped doing new shows of.[/quote]
They were also responsible for the talent show recasting of "Fame" that NBC did last season and the "PopStars" series that ran on The WB at about the same time as "The Mole"'s first series (remember Eden's Crush?  I thought so).  If you count cable, they're also behind the Spike TV parody series "The Joe Schmo Show" (which will return this summer, this time as a takeoff of the dating genre).

And I would suspect that S-S will be called on by some network for more prime time unscripted programming sooner or later--they *do* have experience in it.

Well, no.

(And I didn't watch "PopStars.")

"Fame" was enjoyable mainly if you liked to see egos unleashed and running wild--in this case, Debbie Allen's.  Otherwise...
