Fair--I was thinking of the period between I guess Bargain Hunters/Hot Streak and that was the dearth I was picturing. MG 90 was nice but a far cry from even five years ago.

How's this? Were contestants/pairs kicked off after a number of bonus prize wins? I don't remember that the cash per hexagon was ever earth shattering, certainly not enough for me to want to put off winning a star prize vacation.

Even with that period there was one ABC game show in-between--"(Celebrity) Double Talk," which ran I think about four months (?).

I think you're right that ABC didn't have a weekday game show for about three years between BH and MG90.
