Have the issues always been searchable and I just never noticed until now, or is the search a relatively new thing?  Because I just hit a motherload of Bill Cullen stuff that might take me a week to process.

Really fascinating stuff -- there's a blurb about Professor Yes 'N' No on Page 98 of the 1/19/53 issue. The 8/10/53 issue lists "26 quarter-hours" as being among the many offerings by Screen Gems on Page 93.

[quote name=\'Jamey Greek\' post=\'253833\' date=\'Jan 2 2011, 10:08 PM\']In the special NATPE issue from 1984, they have a big article talking about 1984 being the year for game shows. Also, MCA was going to revive the Movie Game and name it: The $1,000,000 Movie Game.[/quote]
Is that the 1/9/84 issue? If so, then the same blurb also mentions Card Sharks (Firestone) and High Rollers (Orion).

Other random stuff:
* The 2/20/84 issue states that the Jeopardy! pilot (doesn't say which) cost about $650,000 to make (Page 46).
* Pay Cards! was on offer for 1969-70 (3/17/69, Page 83). I didn't think it or the 1969-70 Queen For A Day were daily shows, but the numbers say they were -- 260 and 195, respectively.

Yeah, I think Jamey misread the question.  Pretty badly, in fact.

From June 2, 1975.     The announcement of ABC's overhaul of its daytime schedule that interestingly notes that "Blankety Blanks" was *not* slated for cancellation initially but obviously the ratings situation necessitated a change in those plans.

On the same page (40) there's a blurb about Double Dare replacing Gambit.

In that same issue on page 16 there's full page ad for a proposed prime access contender starring our future friend Blake Emmons.

From 1/28/80, a two-page ad for a Nighttime Card Sharks; is this the genesis of the '82 reruns?

I wouldn't call it the genesis of the reruns, but G-T was probably aware that NBC was looking to overhaul its daytime schedule later that year and wanted to be ready in the event of possible cancellation.

I guess this explains why reruns of The Brady Bunch were brought back - and it was probably almost a last-minute decision.  ABC probably figured it was cheaper to run that than new episodes of Blankety Blanks, especially since they'd lose the rights to the Bradys that fall.
