Close calls....narrow escapes.....
thomas_meighan:
For its entire run, “Whew!” was preempted on the first Thursday of each month for CBS’ monthly “Magazine” (titled according to the month, e.g. “April Magazine,” “May Magazine,” etc.). Assuming no further preemptions during the early months, episode #78 should take us to 8-14-1979.
Aside from “Magazine” days, there’s another possible preemption on 10-3-1979 for news coverage of the papal visit to NYC. CBS’ games apparently didn’t air in NYC on that day (they’re not listed in the NYT), but I don’t know how the West Coast feed was handled.
Bryce L.:
So, this should be close to, if not exactly right?

This sounds pretty realistic. I always thought the 247 number was too low.
Too bad they're skipping so many episodes - I wonder if it's to line it more up with the calendar - so when Tom says celebrities will be playing starting Nov 5th, it'll be pretty close to that date when they get to them (?)
Hopefully the skipped episodes will pop up eventually.

Do we have a list of the celebrities who played? I poked around some of the Wiki-type articles about the show and didn't see any. I count ~29 weeks of celebrity shows, give or take.
I am wondering if there is some subtraction to be done...perhaps some of the celebrities didn't clear their appearances? The only celeb shows I see on YouTube have Marcia Wallace, Gary Collins, Betty White, John Saxon, Mary Ann Mobley, and Robert Vaughn.
Also, that post-Thanksgiving week with no celebrities is interesting. Perhaps they saw a bump in ratings from November sweeps, and decided to make the format switch on very short notice.
Also, poking through YouTube, I found this Winker upload of show "A-131 D" with a VTR of 10/5/79, where Tom references the first celebrity week starting "next Monday." Whether this corresponds with Bryce's show 131, I'm not sure...it may be from the prior week of shows, as Tom emphasized "next" and didn't say "this Monday."

Wink also posted 132-D with the same VTR date. Tom mentions that it's Halloween and to watch "tomorrow" for the CBS Magazine, and that they'll be back on Friday. 131-D most likely aired 10/30/79 instead of 10/31. Looks like it could be one off.
