(1/3) > >>

PeterMarshallFan:
TRIO will be airing 3 eps of "Queen For a Day" w/ Jack Bailey next month.

In other news, they will also be reprising the "Battle of the Network Stars" eps they showed earlier this year.

SimpsonGeek:
Does anybody know how many eps of QfaD exist?

 Trio's just trying to grab that younger demo with QfaD reruns. Well, Bob Barker makes occasional references to it on TPIR. I wonder if these episodes will be among the episode(s) that are on the game show trading circuit. Still, Trio is being nice and showing something not seen in eons, just after we were wondering why cable networks don't want to air shows of any non-recent vintage.

They've got a reason.  It's part of a theme month called "Awards Mania."  Among some of the other things to be aired are all three screen versions of "A Star is Born," the Natalie Wood film "Inside Daisy Clover," the Miss America pageants that crowned Vanessa Williams and Mary Ann Mobley (the first time Miss America pageants have been repeated *ever*), the doc "Last Man Standing" (about a last-hand-on-a-SUV-wins-it contest in Arizona), the Oscar-winning doc "The Great American Cowboy," eps of legendary gossip columnist Hedda Hopper's TV series (bet you never knew she had one),  the Robert DeNiro AFI tribute, last year's USA Network coverage of the Westminister Dog Show, "Pumping Iron II:  The Women" (not the one with AHN-old?) and a doc about an Elvis impersonators contest.  There's also two original docs on awards shows and the Golden Globes--and the "Battle of the Network Stars" shows.

This is the press release for the theme month from the channel you can't get but has the most interesting-sounding programming.

Tim L:
Trio also shows complete Hour long Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In.  When the showwas  in syndication a number of years ago, they showed the program in Half-hour segments.  I happened to see a part of George C. Scott's 1963-64  East Side, West Side Drama (originally CBS) Very gritty and dramatic..kind of depressing IMO..no wonder it lasted just one season.
