I've
often asked myself these same questions when finding similar scenes
along the back roads ... and I'm sure our pal Russell probably has, too.
Russell sez: Yup!
(my vote is an old church. The steeple could easily have
been removed in a subsequent repurposing, i.e. for a community hall.)
On
a national scale, this is a daytime schedule much beloved by game show
fans. 1975 is viewed by many of us as the year the genre
was at its peak. Look at the schedule -- if you disregard Channel 6's flipping of the quirky Bob Eubanks- hosted Rhyme and Reason (which ABC aired at 1:30 p.m. CDT), every timeslot was occupied by at least one network game. Daytime TV would never again be
this packed with game shows!
Some sources define "Uncle Croc's Block" (9:30 on Channel 6)
as the worst Saturday morning show of all time. Naturally, I thought
it was hilarious for the few months it aired. Says something
about my ideas of what was funny, I guess.
This was not the first time these glasses had been offered ...
and it wouldn't be the last, either.
With absolutely no offense to this gentleman -- whomever he is or was --
I don't know if I would've wanted to use those initials for a radio show,
even if they were mine. Just saying.......
It only took them a little over 10 years for them to finish this one...
Might it be safe to assume these two
shows appealed to slightly different audiences?
