The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Hour

CBS (ended 1969)

Spun-off from ABC's prime time series The Bugs Bunny Show and the CBS Saturday morning series The Road Runner Show.The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Hour was the most succesful and popular attempt to bring the classic Looney Tunes cartoons to Saturday morning television where they became a mainstay for more than three decades. The series presented popular animated shorts which were originally produced for the silver screen, where they would appear right before a major motion picture, but here they were introduced by new segments as well as new title cards not shown in the original theatrical versions. Also included were Road Runner cartoons originally shown on the The Road Runner Show. Many people who grew up watching this show will most likely remember it by the opening theme "This Is It" performed by Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck which was shown in black & white when it was created for The Bugs Bunny Show but then shown in color and remodified specifically for this Saturday morning series. In the late '70s The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Hour eventually became The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Show when CBS decided to add an additional 30 minutes to each episode.moreless

Clue Club

CBS (ended 1979)

Clue Club was a cartoon about four precocious young investigators (Dotty, Larry, D.D. and Pepper) who solved crimes with the help of two bloodhounds, Woofer and Wimper. Dotty, the brains of the team, would stay at home and analyze any clues that the gang found. The older dog, Woofer, thought he was a very good detective so he would always take the credit for solving the case. The laughs in the show were provided by Woofer and Wimper, due to their fear of the spooky places the gang went. The show only had one year of first run episodes, after which it aired in repeats on The Skatebirds under the new title Woofer and Wimper, Dog Detectives. These repeats were severely edited, which made the show particularly hard to follow. In January 1978, The Three Robonic Stooges was split off from the Skatebirds show and took the Woofer And Wimper segment with them. After a year on The Skatebirds, CBS reinstated the full episodes and re-ran them on Sundays under the original title. The show ran for another four months, cancelled in September of 1979. Theme Song: There they go, and on the double, to the spot where there is trouble Clue Club! Wimper: Clue Club makes the scene! Woofer: You better believe it, boy! Dotty does her thing computin', checking clues and trouble-shootin' Clue Club! Wimper: Clue Club, it's routine! Woofer: You go in first, Wimper! One trap door and they go spillin', face to face, another villian Clue Club! Wimper: Clue Club, just in time! Woofer: We'll be safe in here, Wimp! No fun runnin' from a mummy, even though he is a dummy Clue Club! Wimper: Clue Club solves the crime! Woofer: I knew it all the time! Clue Club!moreless

Sabrina (1970)

CBS (ended 1973)

Welcome to the Sabrina guide at TV.com. There were many incarnations of Sabrina, most were merely reruns of 28 half-hour segments, sharing slots with the Groovy Goolies, and the Archies, but he third season showed new episodes. Sabrina's legacy lived on after the 1970's, as the repulsive Rotunda Repulsa, a troll with a power hunger, turned Sabrina into an adolescent. That started the 1999 revival series, which was 'supposedly' spun off the live-action show, whilst it was actually supposed to be started a few years after cancellation of the orginal Sabrina cartoon. Lucky for us, it did not. The live-action show made it popular, and the show that originally was not, came to be better than it was originally planned. The further adventures of Sabrina appear in Sabrina comic books, published by Archie Comics, which is where this whole "chaos" began!moreless

Truth or Consequences

CBS (ended 1987)

Welcome to the Truth or Consequences guide at TV.com. Truth or Consequences began on radio in 1940 with host and creator Ralph Edwards. The radio game show had outrageous and often messy stunts, surprise reunions (which was a staple of Edwards' other show This Is Your Life) & home contests. In 1950, the city of Hot Springs, New Mexico was changed to Truth or Consequences, New Mexico in honor of the radio game show's 10th anniversary. It also marked the show's regular television debut, with Ralph Edwards hosting, from 1950-51. This run picked up a 1951 Emmy Award for "Best Games and Audience Participation Show". However, this was not the television debut of Truth or Consequences. When the FCC approved commecial TV broadcasting beginning on July 1, 1941, T or C was the first commercial show aired on NBC (WNBT) in New York. The series returned to primetime in 1954 with Jack Bailey hosting this second version of the series through September 1956. The series resurfaced on NBC from December 1957-June 1958 with Steve Dunne as host. On New Year's Eve 1956, T or C came to NBC daytime. Ralph Edwards discovered a new voice who would become a television icon. Bob Barker was the new host chosen by Ralph Edwards, who had heard him hosting an audience participation show on Los Angeles radio. Bob's duties ran a total of 18 years, from 1956-65 (NBC daytime) & 1966-75 (syndication). In the syndicated years, he also did a couple of other game shows on the side: The Family Game (Chuck Barris' ABC game in 1968) & (of course) The Price Is Right. T or C came back briefly in 1977-1978 with Bob Hilton hosting. In 1987-1988 Larry Anderson (Life With Lucy) hosted a final revised version.

The New Dick Van Dyke Show

CBS (ended 1974)

The New Dick Van Dyke Show was Dick Van Dyke's return to television after pursuing movie roles, following the highly sucessful run of the Dick Van Dyke Show.

In this incarnation he was Dick Preston, a talk show host and later a soap-opera actor. The show focused on his work and his home life with wife Jenny (Hope Lange) and daughter Annie (Angela Powell). The show ran on CBS from 1971 to 1974.

For the first two seasons, the Prestons lived in Arizona. Dick hosted a local talk/variety show called "The Dick Preston Show." His sister/secretary was "Mike" Preston, and he and Jenny's best friends were Bernie Davis and his wife Carol. Dick's boss was Ted Atwater, a money-greedy type of man.

For the last season, Dick, Jenny, and Annie left Arizona (after Dick's talk show was cancelled) for Hollywood, where Dick got an acting job on the soap opera "Those Who Care." New characters were Richard and Connie Richardson. Sadly, when the first format was just kicking up, the second format came in and caused the ratings to decline. The second format was made because of the fact that Carl Reiner left the show after 1973 because of a censorship dispute. Famously, the show had filmed an episode where the Powell's daughter walked in at a delicate time. Nothing shocking was shown on-screen, but the network demanded the whole episode be cut and reworked. Carl claimed censorship and walked away from the whole show.

Scheduled Times As far a I know, The Good Guys is not airing anywhere in The United States. I am not sure if it ever has since 1970. According to Bob Denver's Book "Gilligan, Maynard, and Me" The Good Guys was once broadcast in South America. As of right now though I don't think its still on down there. The episodes that did air in South America were not in great quality. Supposedly in May of 1998 TV Land was going to air an episode or two of The Good Guys on there weekend line up. As the story goes TV Land did not air any episodes like they said they were going to, and they aired episodes from another rare series called He & She. This was probably the most recent occasion of The Good Guys almost airing. To bad they did not air it. The E! True Hollywood Story of Gilligan's Island airs occasionally on E! It features a scene from Let 'Em Eat Rolls, and an interview with Leonard Stern. The Good Guys in TV Guide Bob Denver and Herb Edelman made the cover of TV Guide magazine in the November 16-22 1968 edition. For a look at the cover click here. Bob Denver also make the cover of TV Magazine of the Sunday Herald Traveler in the September 29-5 of October. To see what the cover looked like click here.

Search for Tomorrow

CBS (ended 1986)

One of the earliest TV soaps, Search for Tomorrow debuted on CBS in 1951 as a 15-minute live show, produced by Procter and Gamble. For most of the first half of its run, it would stay as that 15 minute live show, and quickly became a hit. The center of Search for Tomorrow was Mary Stuart's character Joanne, a Midwestern housewife. The ratings were high in the '50s, but the start of the next decade Search was in a ratings decline. To try to combat this, CBS brought in Frank and Doris Hursley as new writers for the show. The new writers weren't able to bring the ratings out of decline, and in 1963 the Hursleys left after a storyline involving Joanne's baby running in front of a car caused friction between the producers and star Stuart. In 1968, Search for Tomorrow finally abandoned its live format, moving to tape and extending the show to half an hour. In the 1970's, new storylines involving the younger characters on Search took center stage, while Joanne was cut back on her appearances. Many felt that this would be the death knell for Search, but it stayed consistent, pulling in a steady #4 rating among all soaps throughout the decade. In 1981, CBS decided that Search for Tomorrow would be better off in a new time slot (it had aired at 12:30 EST for its entire run up until that point), and moved the show to 2:30 PM, replacing it with The Young and the Restless (which still holds the spot to this day). This didn't work, as the ratings dipped once again. Proctor & Gamble wanted to move back to an earlier time slot, but CBS wouldn't bite and cancelled Search for Tomorrow in early 1982. The show was replaced by Capitol, which aired for four and a half seasons. NBC picked up the Search on March 29, 1982, and moved it back to its 12:30 timeslot (opposite the show that had replaced it, Y&R). The second soap to switch networks (The Edge of Night was the first). The ratings continued to slide, and by 1984 the writers were resorting to ridiculous plots and storylines to grab viewers. Nothing worked, as the show continued to struggle against the hit The Young and the Restless. Due to a missing video tape, one 1983 episode had to air live! NBC pulled the plug in 1986, and on December 26 the Search finally ended after 35-plus years. The show would be replaced by the game show Wordplay, which lasted eight months. When it ended, Search for Tomorrow had the longest run of any daytime soap opera (35 years). The record has since been surpassed by Guiding Light, which premiered on television one year after Search. Guiding Light is now in year 52. First Aired: September 3, 1951 Last Aired: December 26, 1986moreless

The Archie Comedy Hour

CBS (ended 1970)

A one hour Saturday morning cartoon show which ran on CBS from 1969 to 1970. The show was a follow-up to the previous season's top-rated half-hour show "The Archie Show" (which had a 55 percent audience share and was the top-rated show for the 1968-1969 Saturday morning season). The show introduced a new Archie character to Saturday mornings: Sabrina, The Teenage Witch. The Sabrina character was inspired by the live-action character Samantha, the witch from the ABC live action primetime hit show, "Bewitched". Sabrina and her cast were featured in two segments on each show. Her shorts revolved around a family of witches who moved to Riverdale. Her cast included her stern Aunt Hilda, her bubbly Aunt Zelda, her magical pet cat Salem, her Cousin Ambrose (whose voice and mannerisms were inspired by comic actor Louis Nye), Miss Della, the powerful and the head witch, Sabrina's mortal boyfriend Harvey, her friends Ophelia and Spencer, and Spencer's two dogs, Hot Dog Jr. and Chilli Dog. "The Archie Comedy Hour" also included the "Dance Of The Week" and song segments that were first introduced on "The Archie Show". Also included were two fast-paced segments called the "Funhouse" and "Side Show". These featured the Archie gang (and also Sabrina and her cast) in a mixture of sight-gags and comic skits. Filmation Studios hired two writers from the primetime hit show "Laugh-In" (the show in which these segments were inspired by) to write for these segments. On some shows, Sabrina was featured in a segment teaching different magic tricks with the assistance of one of her cast members. "The Archie Comedy Hour" garnered such high ratings for the season that Sabrina was given her own one hour show, and the "Funhouse" and "Side Show" segments were also made into a one hour show the next season titled "Archie's Funhouse".moreless
