Remember how big a name Michelle Triola Marvin was at the time, with her palimony lawsuit against Lee Marvin? She lost the case, but the idea of getting alimony from someone to whom you were not married was a groundbreaking idea. After her loss, she lived a quite life for many years with Dick Van Dyke as her paramour.

Esta es la estación de televisión en español. TV
Unusual to see KOAI showing "The Little Rascals". By 1980, even small market network stations rarely aired B&W programming in the afternoon.
ReplyDelete"Nightline" was originally called "America Held Hostage" when it debuted in late 1979. Anyone know when they dropped the original name, and when they switched to general news coverage?
WDCA/20 in DC started airing the Little Rascals again in the early 80s in the 5 o'clock hour - this was around the time Eddie Murphy's Buckwheat impression was a sensation on SNL. Around the same time, WBFF/45 was airing the "Our Gang" series in the mornings.
DeleteQuick check of my references shows that ABC started calling the late news show Nightline in March of 1980 - two months before this issue.
ReplyDeleteWhy didn't the Phoenix TV Guide say so?
My understanding was that the local editors had responsibility for compiling the program logs.
If you went from city to city, you'd sometimes notice variations in program identification.
You're right, Mike - I've noticed the same thing as I've started branching out into different areas. Interestingly enough, in my first draft of this I actually called it "Nightline" instead of what the TV Guide had, "ABC News." I changed it back because I wanted it to be a fair representation of the listings as they were, and also because I didn't have a chance to check and see when the change to Nightline was, and I was afraid I'd get called on it!
DeleteDidn't Alfred Hitchcock recently pass away and the producers of "Tomorrow" decide to rebroadcast the 1973 interview as a tribute??
ReplyDeleteAs late as 1980, NBC was still "wiping" tapes of many of its non-news, non-prime-time programs (game shows, etc.) (ABC and CBS had already stopped the wiping process by the mid-to-late 1970s.) The wiping process is the main reason why relatively few Marshall/Lynde era Hollywood Squares episodes and pre-1972 Carson Tonight Shows survive today. Apparently, the Tom Snyder Tomorrow Show episodes just barely missed wiping, as NBC finally abandoned the process around the time Letterman's Late Night signed on.
ReplyDeleteOne of the 20000 Pyramid episodes from later in the week with Robert Mandan and Shelley Smith is currently on YouTube:
ReplyDeleteyoutube.com/watch?v=x9GSQ8NhQIU
Pyramid would only last about another month on ABC, as while its ratings were still good, ABC had already committed to air Love Boat reruns in the 11 o'clock timeslot, which would bump the Feud to 12 noon. Pyramid would briefly return in daily syndication in January 1981 as the $50,000 Pyramid before moving back to CBS in September 1982 as the The New $25,000 Pyramid.
