In case anyone actually wanted to see the magazine...
http://www.americanradiohistory.com/Archive-BC/BC-1996/BC-1996-12-16.pdf

Starts at page 42.

Glancing through the article, I noticed a full page ad on page 48 for Match Game, Family Feud, What's My Line? and Card Sharks revivals...someone at All-American (now Fremantle) had some high hopes for the year 1997. :-P

I notice that as the years went on Paramount wasn't as in your face about advertising their stuff as they were in the 80s. There was only a total of three ads in this issue.
