I remember watching Dream House on WBZ in Boston. Back then, WBZ was owned by Westinghouse, which also produced Dream House. So, it was no surprise to see WBZ air this show. Not sure about KYW in Philly, though.

At the end of the series Group W(Westinghouse Broadcasting) no longer produced the series, Production moved over to Lorimar. KYW had every right to pick up any NBC shows, I guess KYW had no interest.

i wish they still had shows like this on daytime tv :(

Well, Bob Eubanks is very ecstatic when the couple won their "Dream House" on the show's very last episode.

KYW sucked as an NBC affiliate. I've lost count how many shows they pre-empted (Wordplay, Classic Concentration, Sale of the Century, Your Number's Up, Blockbusters '87) along with putting on their specials and movies in prime time whenever they felt like it. KYW was a joke as an NBC affiliate.  But they're much better now as a CBS affiliate and WCAU is alright now as NBC because they show all the shows. It's a shame their switches didn't come in the 80s.

just read on wiki that the 60's version had a lot of the homes never being built...the land allowance was too little

It's a shame the full ending wasn't intact, I heard Bob Eubanks ended the show by saying, "....There's never a goodbye in this business, until next time..." something like that. But oh well, I'm happy because I've never seen any clips of this show until today:)

@AdamJ617 Or WJZ-TV Baltimore (an ABC affiliate) or KPIX-TV San Francisco (a CBS affiliate), now both CBS owned-and-operated stations.

@whewfan If you go to Wikipedia, external links, and then The Dream House Fan Page the site shows that there were a total of ten houses won and not six. The show gave out over $3M!

In the show's short run they gave away only 6 houses, prompting Bob to privately call the show "Dream Furniture" because they gave away a LOT more of that than houses. It was reportedly one of Bob's least favorite shows, besides Trivia Trap and Diamond Head Game. The couple on this show really had a LONGSHOT chance of winning, but I wonder if they might've wanted to do something a la Split Second finale where they give the couple the house anyway.
