Who do you think could replace Barker?

The hope that another show would bomb out and the station would bring the show out of overnight hell and let it shine in the new time slot.  Usually didn't work.

 One exception(though another station came to the rescue in this case): WNBC in New York did air the first few months of Trebek's J! at 1:30AM, only to have WABC pick it up by December 1984 and place it at 4PM(replacing the cancelled Edge of Night)

Street Smarts?

It's currently on at 4AM on WPIX-11, and I haven't seen it in the DirecTV on-screen guide at any reasonable time over the past two years that I've had DirecTV. [/quote]
I'm pretty sure WGN is carrying STREET SMARTS over the bird as well (with episodes airing in the early afternoon as well as very late at night).  Those of us in Chicago metro only get the one airing at 12:30 AM CT.  Granted, it's not NY, but there are some NY viewers who can get WGN via DirecTV/satellite (and even one or two who can get it via cable).

Meanwhile, as long as I'm already here. . .

Getting back to the Billy West discussion, is this the same Billy West who is a pretty reknown cartoon voice?

I think Barker not being there(and to a lesser degree, Johnny Olson passing away during the show's run) had a bit to do with the show's failure. Also, the show had less-than-great time slots, either against WOF or the then-growing J! in some cities, and in NYC had the wonderful time slot of 2:30AM on WNBC.

 "Win, Lose or Draw" is the only one I can think of.  IIRC, WCBS showed a couple of eps on Friday night/Sat morn and three in a row on Sat/Sun around 2 or 3am.

It actually first aired in NY at midnight, then was moved back to 1 AM by mid-season, then 2 AM, and so on.

 Hmm, if anybody has an idea for a future cartoon based gs, why take take Cyber Lucy one step farther and have a cartoon host-and-announcer tandem, voiced by Billy West and Neil Ross?  Or have I just made a reservation for the I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here! room?

 Yeppers. He was also the voice of Stimpy (and later Ren after the controversial firing of creator John Kricfalusi), and he worked on the Howard Stern staff for a while.

If you've seen "Malcolm", you already know why that is a bad idea.

One more...didn't he play Doug on the Nick/ABC cartoon, or at least during the Nick years?

ObGameShow: Nick used to have "Double Dare."

[Emile Auturi] Yes, he did.  [EA]
