Ten years ago this summer GSN heavily promoted its Sunday night line-up of \'Chuck Woolery: Naturally Stones\' and new episodes of \'Whammy!\' and \'Cram.\' Didn\'t they have a name for the night in the promos?

I remember seeing Naturally Stoned for the first time, and I remember I couldn\'t believe they didn\'t mention Scrabble, when listing the shows he hosted. At the time, I had no idea of the rights issues going on between the parties involved.

 

They also didn\'t mention his hosting The Big Spin in 1985 when it premiered. But to be fair, not many people would have known that (even I didn\'t know that at the time), because 1) It only aired here in California, and 2) He only hosted the first four episodes.

Sunday Night Buzz, that was it. I wonder if the disapointing  ratings (none of the three shows saw another season) amid the heavy promotion was a factor in the Network for Games makeover the next year.

Looking back, Cram was better than I gave it credit for. It wasn\'t GREAT, but certainly not bad.
