Does anyone, have any idea who distributed the Celebrity Sweepstakes syndicated edition? If so, let me know!

Thanks!

I think it was Jamie who reported recently that a source told him all episodes of this show supposedly still exist...getting hold of them is another issue.

20th distributed the second syndicated season. The 74-75 season was distributed by Colbert-Rosen.

Anyone have any idea why the show was pulled from syndication in '75-76, then put back in a year later? Seems strange to me. If the ratings weren't good for the first syndie year just two seasons earlier, why would they think things would be much different so soon after?

Not sure of the reason, but the 74 season was on the ABC O&Os and the 76 season was on the NBC O&Os. Also interesting is that the daytime show ended just a few weeks after the 76 nightime show began.
