Actually, WOR-TV aired "The Joker's Wild" at 2:00pm, "Tic Tac Dough" at 2:30pm, "The Dating Game" at 3:00pm, "The Newlywed Game" at 3:30pm, "The All New Let's Make a Deal" at 4:00pm and "Family Feud" at 4:30pm every weekday afternoon back in 1984.

@TimFrith24 - They couldn't have...LMaD was on WCBS at 9 AM for its 1st season, and those Best of FF reruns didn't start until the 85-86 season.

@WhatsAYak And then wasn't it still on WCBS for the second season, the only difference being that they moved it to 12:00 after The Price is Right?

(Tim, WNBC should still have been airing Feud at that point.)

[WhatsAYak]

@fatmanfiftythousand - No, LMaD moved to 2 or 2:30 PM on Ch. 9 for its 2nd season...WCBS was running Body Language in the noon slot until PYL took it over in Jan 86.

Was I seeing things on the Dating Game? Was that Pee Wee Herman as one of the perspective dates?

[WhatsAYak]

@NJTank - No, you weren't seeing things, and yes it was...he appeared on the syndicated version in 1979, I believe.

My 9's current afternoon game show lineup is pretty decent. Now they have a full hour of Steve Harvey's Feud at 1 followed by a full hour of Don't Forget the Lyrics at 2.

[johnissoevil]

@WhatsAYak Exactly, the 4:00 Movie aired at 4pm, syndicated Feud was in its last season on WNBC.

Channel 9 would have afternoon game show blocks from here all the way until their Love in the Afternoon lineup in 1989.

Fall 1987 saw Pyramid paired with Truth or Consequences until TOC got cancelled quite soon after its premiere.
