[quote name=\'clemon79\' date=\'Nov 29 2004, 07:53 PM\']New Feud and H2 aside (and of course J! and Wheel), please present the list of programs that were on the same time period that Summers' "adult" shows were that enjoyed any more success.

I'm sorry, but what does that have to do with anything?

Because I'm suggesting that NO syndicated game show (with the exception of the evergreens I mentioned) enjoyed any more success than anything Summers did.

In other words, you're blaming Summers. I'm blaming the market.

Take the word "so" out of there and you might have something.

  • Just leave the set; that’d be terrific.

For the record;some of the 1989 entries were "Third Degree", "The Last Word" and "Jackpot".  They all fizzled rather quickly as well...which would indicate that 89-90 wasn't a good year for game shows.  Not to mention that NBC canned Sale and Super Password earlier that year.

Not to mention "Win, Lose or Draw" on the network, "Card Sharks on CBS", and every syndicated show from the class of 1988 excluding "Family Feud" and "Fun House". And that year there were gobs of them. 1989 was not a good year for the TV game show as we knew it.

I know daytime WoF wasn't technically cancelled (unless you want to count the two week interim between network switches as being a "cancellation"), but when it reemerged on CBS after having served NBC well for 14+ years in 1989 it was a mere shell of its former self (top dollar amounts were much lower, and even when NBC reacquired the show in 1991 the budget was still skimpy).

Insert gratuitous Rolf joke here.  :)

Doug -- and the countdown to 800 continues (and that's the last time I'll be typing that, unless we change providers)

The conversion to cash(save for special prizes on the Wheel) in the maingame that came with the move to CBS probably necessitated the lowered Wheel values. Yes, I think the spaces less than $100 were still cheap despite that, but they only lasted for the first three months or so. The nighttime version were able to keep the amounts on the wheel it had when converting to cash because the show was doing well enough to afford it, in fact, the top dollar value in round two increased 150%. The daytime show was struggling quite a bit in the ratings by 1989, and the daytime show probably could not afford to have the values on the Wheel when converting to cash that the NBC version had.

I'm positive those who have been watching Wheel's 1988-89 syndicated season ad nauseum on GSN could tell you differently.

The top dollar value on the round two nighttime wheel from 1983-1987 was $1K, and $2500 from 1987-late 90s.

Up through the '99-'00 season, I believe, excluding a couple weeks late in the season when they were doing some goofy internet theme.

(And I honestly have no idea why I remember that.)
