What was the first game show you could have seen?
TonicBH:
1/28/86, 3:42PM...
What was on at that time? It probably would've been something on CBS, assuming they had afternoon game shows still back then...
Card Shark:
I was born February 25, 1977 at 10:03 a.m. So, I guess I could have seen TPIR.

PYL had the 4PM EST time slot on CBS at the time(though those stations that even did carry PYL often did so earlier in the day at the time). However, game shows after 11:50AM EST that day(The Showcase of TPIR, last segment of Scrabble, SUper Password and PYL on the networks, and probably a number of syndie shows in many cities) were preempted for coverage of the Challenger disaster.
GS Warehouse:
It was a Tuesday late-morning (10:45 CT) in 1975, so it could have been TPiR or WoF. Considering 1975 was one of the biggest GS years on record, maybe I was destined to be a GS junkie.
EDIT: After seeing the lineup archive at Curt the A's page, only one network had a game show at the 11:30 (10:30 CT) half-hour--NBC with The Hollywood Squares. (CBS countered with the soap opera Love of Life; ABC was out the competitive loop with repeats of The Brady Bunch. Oh, the humanity!)
ObAlliume: Man, was my link to his page out of date!
aaron sica:
I was born on Thursday, 10/10/74, at around 10:30am, just as \"Gambit\" was starting on CBS, and \"Winning Streak\" on NBC.
Additionally, all of who you are wondering \"what was on when I was born?\" can go to Curt Alliaume's web page at www.curtalliaume.com and find his daytime lineups for the big three networks from their inception until now.
