Jimmy Owen:
If only a few people show up to a game show audience, are they admitted or turned away?  One time on "Body Language" Tom was speaking to Johnny and when they cut to Johnny he was awash in a sea of empty seats.

Oh, they'd let them in.  Johnny O was probably sweating profusely doing the warmup in any of those situations, even if he knew that Mother MacKenzie would bail him out eventually.

 In his interview with Steve Beverly, Peter Marshall said he walked in on a Wheel taping in the 70s and saw about seven people sitting in the audience. I think he said it was family of the contestants.

From an old alt.tv.game-shows post (tis the season for reruns)

I went to a taping of "Blockbusters" once that almost didn't have an audience. There must have been about six or seven of us there. (A small but appreciative crowd.) It was fun, and even with the small crowd Rich Jeffries and Mike Narz (son of Jack Narz) made us feel right at home.

Part of the reason for the small crowd was that "Blockbusters" had only been back on the air for three or four days at the time of this taping (people didn't know what it was), and the show was having a great deal of difficulty getting its Dubner game graphics in good working order; thus the tapings were running much longer than normal.

(Originally Aired: February 4, 1997)

They said on the Hollywood Squares THS that in the early days, they had to pull tour groups and pay them so they could have an audience.
