Line 15:
** On ''Super'', Mary Ann Mobley & Garry Collins.
* [[Screwed by the Network]]: '''Every single version.'''
** ''CBS''' downfall can be traced back to the morning of July 11, 1966, when it was preempted in favor of a press conference by Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara regarding the progress of the Vietnam War; viewers began defecting to both [[NBC]]'s recently-debuted ''[[Days of Our Lives]]'' and the debut of ''[[The Newlywed Game]]'' on [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]]. Further problems arose when network head Fred Silverman wanted the show permanently moved to Television City and [[Mark Goodson]] refused.
** ''ABC'' went into a massive gimmickfest on July 15, 1974, then changed to ''All-Stars'' on November 18 and drove even more viewers away. Unlike many other games which went to an all-celebrity format, ''ABC'' changed on February 24, 1975 to a big-money civilian-based format...but at that point, despite getting another 18 weeks, it was too late.
** ''Plus'' and ''Super'' were both slotted at Noon, often getting screwed over due to local news.
