Title: Pitfall Question
Post by: Jamey Greek on May 21, 2004, 11:42:56 PM

I've got a Pitfall question for you guys.  Can you tell me where Pitfall aired in your area, in other words what station and time did it air?  I'd appreciate it!

Here in NY, it aired at 2 PM on WOR (now WWOR, Ch. 9), though they moved it to 4 PM by the end of its run. They also aired reruns weeknights at 12:30 for a time in late 1982, following its canellation.

 It was 1:30PM for Pitfall IIRC, and I think I recall it having a brief run at 11AM on WWOR.  Treasure Hunt and MG SYndie had the 2-3PM slot for most of their 1981-82 runs.

Our cable company in Michigan was carrying WOR for a time and that is how I was able to see it.  It also aired in Los Angeles on Channel 9 in 1986 sometime before noon.

"Pitfall" made a dent in the game show world only because of WOR 9.  Like y'all, I saw it in the afternoons.  We had WOR until 1983, when due to an agreement, the cable company had to drop WOR but keep WGN.  Through the agreement, we got TNN in its' very earliest days.

And I didn't get it until the beginning of 1995, which means I'd long since missed out on Fandango, Top Card, and 10 Seconds.

Worcester Massachusetts - WSMW Channel 27 (Independent)

 Pitfall aired at 3PM followed by The New Let's Make a Deal at 3:30

 (or was it the other way around? Now I forget.)
