Did WPLG air the Tom Bergeron Hollywood Squares? I don't think there was ever a station that aired both the Davidson and the Bergeron versions.

@edvideo1978 Nope...  Bergeron's Hollywood Squares was seen at 7:30 on WFOR from beginning to end... :)

@edvideo1978 Actually KHJ (now KCAL) Channel 9 here in Los Angeles aired the Davidson "Squares" for it's entire 3 year run, and the Bergeron "Squares"' last two years.

Did HS stay on 'PLG from start to finish?

[WREYtube]

@allnewtpir I believe it did, but went to overnight its last season... I'll have to check it out...

[WREYtube]

@McBearPEI Nope... only 30 minutes that season... :)

Since this came from ABC, "Do you have any original (American Bandstand) episodes from The 1980's before it was dropped to Syndication in 1987?

[WREYtube]

@Retrotv Nope, I know I don't on any of my tapes... I'm not sure about my family's tapes, but I doubt there are any ABC Bandstands on those...

so what time did HS come on in its first year? I know $1M COAL was on at the time.

[WREYtube]

@jwgreek8606 700PM... some people would be surprised to know that before COAL premiered that the 700 slot was filled by Tic Tac Dough (Which was bounced by WTVJ that fall after being moved to the morning in early 1985), which IIRC went up against Headline Chasers on WTVJ (I'll have to dig up an old TV Guide in the garage to check that one)... :)

[jwgreek8606]

@WREYtube was Wheel supposed to be on at the time? there was a block of WOF and Kennedy PIR am I right?

[WREYtube]

@WREYtube Yup! My bad... I think Headline Chasers may have started out at 700 on WPLG before getting pulled for Tic Tac Dough (Pyramid replaced Price is Right at some point on WTVJ in 1986 before Card Sharks premiered)...
