* [[Screwed by the Network]]: CBS moved it from 10:30 AM to 4:00 PM in January 1986 so they could debut a revival of ''[[Card Sharks]]''. Although the change was promoted in-show at the end of December 1985, certain comments from here onward appear to prove that the show's staff knew their days were numbered.

* [[Short-Lived Big Impact]]: The show only lasted for three seasons, not a particularly impressive run for a [[Game Show]]. But it's long been a cultural icon of [[The Eighties]], and a near-constant fixture on the rerun circuit (first on [[USA Network]], then on [[GSN]]), so even people who weren't around to see it in first-run are still familiar with the show in general.
* [[What Could Have Been]]:
** As early as January 1985, series creator Bill Carruthers planned a nighttime version of the show for syndication to be distributed by Golden West Television. Didn't work.
