KID NATION [2 episodes]
Notorious CBS series where 40 kids rebuild a New Mexico town in 40 days with no adults around. If it was meant to be a social experiment, it worked pretty well (the kids tended to be pretty smart), but the Survivor-esque challenges seemed unnecessary. (All below taped from WPEC.)
* October 10, 2007 ("Bless Us & Keep Us Safe"): The kids try to set up a religious service, which they actually handle better than most adults (some say there should be one service with different religions getting up and talking about it, while others say there should be separate services due to the differences between religions). This intelligence extends to the reward decision where, given the choice of a mini-golf course or a library of holy books, they choose the books. Original commercials (including a Price Is Right promo!), grainy-but-watchable B/W video that screws up at times. [46.3]
* December 12, 2007 (Finale/"We've All Decided To Go Mad!"): A look over the course of the series...and pretty much a destruction of the kids' work (including the Job Board and Journal) because they expected to be renewed (the next group of kids would've had to start from scratch, though I think building and destroying the same town repeatedly kinda defeats the point). Original commercials, grainy-but-watchable video that screws up at times. [51.6]
LET'S MAKE A DEAL (ABC Daytime, 1968-76) [1 episode]
NBC thought a nighttime version on their regular schedule was beneath them, so the show changed networks. ABC thought the show needed gimmicks, and canned it when they didn't really work. Yeah.
* 1969: First traders are Louise, Dave, & Sharon. First deal involves $500 inside boxes of waffles, cans of Poppycock, and tins of assorted after-dinner mints. Big Deal: $3,037. Original commercials, B/W video. [D-11.2]
LIARS CLUB (Rod Serling, 1969) [1 episode]
Yes, he hosted a game show...and a pretty good one, at that. Feels more like a parlor game, since the winner gets just $100.
* 1969: Rolfe Peterson, BETTY WHITE, Dick Gautier, Pia Lindstrom. Barbara vs. Bob. GREAT episode! Slight video problems during Rod's entrance, no last segment. [49.13]
LIARS CLUB (KTLA, 1974-75) [1 episode]
A revamp that made a bunch of great changes.
* September 7, 1974 (Pilot/Premiere): George Savalas, Joey Bishop, Fannie Flagg, PETER MARSHALL. Jim/Terri/Diane/Maggie. Has a slightly different set from the rest of the series and a broken format (each player gets different odds because each celeb can only be picked by one player), the latter of which lasted at least one more episode before deservedly getting the boot. USA repeat from 1986-87, video is somewhat dark, no credits. [D-30.3]
LIARS CLUB (Syn./Bill Armstrong, 1976-77) [1 episode]
Pretty much the same as the '74 run, just daily this time.
* 1976: Charlie Brill, Mitzi McCall, PETER MARSHALL, Larry Hovis. Lisa/Margaret/Bettye/Linda. Peter notes that his 90-minute variety show will debut "this September". USA repeat. [D-30.4]
