Weren't you/aren't you a big NYSI fan?[/quote]
Yes.  However, since my parents' TV from 1975 didn't have a remote and I'd be too lazy to get up and change the station, I'd stick with whatever WEWS had on at 11 AM. :-P  Alternate answer:  I've seen the 3/3/1975 NYSI and kept it off for that reason.  GSN aired it the day Jack Narz passed away.

Or seeing that the ABC shows I listed aired after 11:30 AM, I could watch Now You See It plus the ABC stuff.

Thanks for the "TV Tango" site, Tim. I checked it out and here's what I would have watched on July 2, 1962:

10:00am: Say When!! (NBC)
10:30am: Play Your Hunch (NBC)
11:00am: The Price Is Right -- Cullen version (NBC)
11:30am: Concentration (NBC)
12:00pm: Your First Impression (NBC); then a switch of the dial over to.....
12:30pm: Camouflage (ABC); I take a break until.....
2:00pm:   Password (CBS); another switch to.....
2:30pm:   Seven Keys (ABC)
3:00pm:   Queen For A Day (ABC); I switch yet again to.....
3:30pm:   To Tell The Truth (CBS)

BTW, I'd switch once more to American Bandstand at 4:00pm; and my viewing day is done.

Too bad Video Village was thrown out a month before; and the original Match Game would not show up for another six months.

Cordially,
Tammy

February 27, 1988 blanks out.  Doesn't help it's a Saturday.

On the other hand, my sister....

Yes it was, but it sounds like it could be a game show.  Replaced by "You're Putting Me On."

Nov. 1, 1955...  A day like so many others, filled with the events that alter and illuminate our times and...I was there.  Anyway...

Daytime: CBS had "Strike it Rich," "The Big Payoff" and "On Your Account."  NBC had "Feather Your Nest."  No real winners in that bunch.

Prime Time: CBS had "Name That Tune" (the George DeWitt version) and "The $64,000 Question," the last of which is my favorite, because on how many other shows could you be asked The Hal March Question(tm)?

11/29/63 (Friday) Password or To Tell the Truth
Note: As this was the day after Thanksgiving, and also the day the Warren Commission was, erm, commissioned, I have less than 100% confidence that the shows listed for my birthdate actually aired.

4/6/59...gotta go with the combo that's already been mentioned, Price/Concentration.  Concentration remained one of my favorites all the way through that NBC run, though I never liked Bob Clayton as much as Hugh Downs.

Off topic a bit, the odd thing about looking at the prime time schedule for that Monday is NOT seeing a Lucy show on CBS.  At first I thought there was a mistake, and then remembered those few years between her first two shows.

After doing some digging from TVRango. here's what was on my birthday(10/23/64):

ABC had nothing on.

CBS had Password & TTTT

NBC had J! & the Match Game as well as You Don't Say.  I'd go with J! on NBC & Password over on CBS.

I was sure sone show may've aired its last episode on my birthday but I'm not sure if the TV Guide in the Trenton area where I was born actually listed it.

5/1/85 - I can't look at tvtango from work, but since it was a Wednesday, I'm going to assume that Press Your Luck aired, which would be my pick, since that was right when PYL was peaking (assuming we're going by the quality of the shows as they aired in 1985 and not today, or at any other point).

Monday, April 12, 1982:

I could have had Feud, Price, Blockbusters, Battlestars, Wheel, Joker and Tic Tac.  Like a kid in a candy store...
