--- Quote ---1977-80 syndie--Barris shut down production of all of his shows in 1980 in response to continued fallout over \"3s a Crowd.\" Someone said that \"TNG\" was still getting good ratings and could've continued.

I think that it certainly could have continued.  Some stations continued on with reruns of the '77-80 verison for a couple of years after production ended, so it must have been getting decent ratings for them to do that.  After a brief hiatus, reruns of the '77-80 verison surfaced again in fall 1984, which led to the new version a year later.

2) Gary Kroeger, Paul Rodriguez, or Jim Lange: who do you think is the worst host on the Newlywed Game? [/quote]
 I like Jim's version. Paul Rodreguiz, however, was awful.

--- Quote ---80s syndie--With Barris off on the Riviera and Scott Sternberg and Jeff Wald running things for Burt Sugarman in 1987, Eubanks didn't like the changes made in the format (the model-of-the-week, the bigger prizes, the change to cash scoring and the bonus question becoming a wagering question) and said he would quit at the end of the season. Sternberg and Wald called his bluff and fired him for Paul Rodriguez and the show went downhill from there.

Although the show was really going downhill by the time Jan. 1988 rolled around...the new set was tolerable, but the scoring, format change, etc. really didn't allow the show to flow as smoothly as it used to, and I missed Bob's rapid-fire \"couple#1youhave15points25wouldgiveyou40\", etc. during the final question.
