Freeze Frame

[quote name=\'bricon\' date=\'Dec 14 2003, 11:41 PM\'] Freeze Frame was a pilot for a movie trivia related game show hosted by Jack Clark. I don't recall who produced it, other than the fact that it wasn't Goodson/Todman, Bob Stewart, or Hatos/Hall. More details if I can lay my hands on my copy of it. [/quote]
So it was a pilot...(hangs head down) OK, my apologies, I really thought it was a series. For my mistakes, I shall now head off to the CS01 room with a nice warm plate of crow, with a side of humble pie. :-P

And they apparently tried to sell it again in 1984, this time w/Bob Eubanks at the helm.

I remember reading about the proposed 82 series in one of the trade magazines at the time. I think Firestone was to have distributed it. If you have a good college library around, I would recommend reading back-issues of Variety, Broadcasting or Television-Radio Age (now defunct) from the first quarter of each year from the mid-70's on. There were tons of game shows pitched at NATPE that never went into production.

Didn't Firestone, in addition to being the distributor of late 70s and early 80s Chuck Barris programming, also syndicate the reruns of Jim Perry CS that aired in many cities from 1982-84(and on CBN in 1984-85).

Yep...the one I read was Broadcasting, before they added the "& Cable" part. I think the reason I was so adamant about it being an actual series was that there was one picture that looked like a print-out of a ratings sheet. Now that we know it was a pilot, I'll probably go back to the book and see what exactly I was reading (and/or smoking). :-)
