Notes[]
- ↑ Hosted by Peter Tomarken instead of Tom Kennedy, announced by Rod Roddy instead of Charlie O'Donnell, and featured a different layout for the word grid, a 4-by-3 rectangle with three blocks already in place. Also there was no bonus word and the amounts were larger than the ones in the series. The theme music was David Reilly & John Devereaux's Hitting Home (which was released in 1985 on the Achievers album and was part of the KPM Music library). The series used an original composition from Level 22. Sajak and Pankin were the only celebs on this pilot not to play on the series.
- ↑ Series premiere on NBC-TV! The show began its run at 12:30 p.m. EST, replacing the long-running Daytime Soap Search for Tomorrow, and sandwiched between the Mark Goodson game show Super Password and another long-running Daytime Soap Days of Our Lives. No Thursday show due to coverage on The 98th Annual Tournament of Roses Parade. This was also one of Dick Shawn's last appearances before his death.
- ↑ A clip was shown in Buzzr promos, just before they abruptly pulled the series.
- ↑ NBC's "Car-azy February" Sweepstakes begins during this week.
- ↑ Mouseketeer Lonnie Burr was a contestant on Friday's show.
- ↑ Sometime during this month, likely during the first week of May, the show gets thrown off a day due to the Iran-Contra Hearings. These hearings occurred for 40 days, began no earlier than May 5, and finished no later than August 3.
- ↑ Final show of this week aired on June 15.
- ↑ Preempted on July 3 by Wimbledon Tennis.
- ↑ Preempted on July 31 for Iran-Contra coverage
- ↑ Two Santa Barbara cast members and one Days of Our Lives cast member.
- ↑ Eight Is Enough cast.
- ↑ Jamie Farr fills in for Tom Kennedy. At the end of his last episode, he said it was his "third and final day". TV Guide listed less days than usual, possibly to play catch-up, after being thrown off by a couple of days due to Iran-Contra.
- ↑ TV Guide listed less days than usual, possibly to play catch-up, after being thrown off by a couple of days due to Iran-Contra.
- ↑ Finale Week. Scrabble would take over its timeslot the following Monday, and Win, Lose or Draw would also come on the schedule.
