Notes

add »
This episode was omitted from the rerun package that ABC aired on weekday mornings from 1975 through 1979. At that time, game shows were a fixture of weekday morning network TV. Apparently, a rerun of an episode about fixed game shows wouldn't fly well on a schedule full of real game shows. (edit)
