Other past game shows aired in the 11 AM time slot: "Home Shopping Game", "Crosswits" (David Sparks), "Lingo" (Not unlike the GSN version of today), "Truth or Concequences" (Larry Anderson), and "The Gong Show" (Don Bleu).[/quote]
That is correct (and the CBS shows in that slot, interestingly enough, aired on a one-day delay).  But with all due respect, how does this add to the thread?  The question was whether WBBM aired any game shows since TRUMP CARD (1990-91) in the post-TPiR slot in Chicago prior to H2.  FF and the second half of FFC were, but I don't think any have aired since.  What aired in the 1980s is irrelevant (but then again, so are many of my own musings ;) ).

You may be right--I believe the last game show at 11 a.m. on WBBM was "Trump Card" in the 1990-91 Syndie Q&A Bloodbath season. [/quote]
I don't think that's correct.  IIRC, WBBM aired Combs FEUD in the 11AM slot in 1991-92, then ran only the second half hour of FAMILY FEUD CHALLENGE in that same slot (not bothering to clear the first half hour) upon the expansion to the hourlong format.  

I don't think any games had aired in that slot since until H2.[/quote]
Thank you for reminding me.  I guess I was thinking of only syndicated shows.
