CNBC runs a show called Bullseye. But 'tisn't the Jim Lange hosted program of the early 1980s. They talk about money but don't give it away.
TLC runs a show called Second Chance. Has the Jim Peck classic been unearthed? No, it's just a bunch of people doing work on a flamin' house.

I'll add one more--ABC News Now runs a show called Tattle Tales (two words, granted, but most people as far as I know don't add the pronounced space). A gossipy show if ever there was one.

ABCNN is usually found on one of those digital second or third ABC channels (in Chicago, WLS used the channel to farm out the Cowboys/Seahawks Monday night NFL game when they decided to stay on news programming to devote coverage to a major bank building fire).

And in Chicago, Comcast subscribers can get ABC News Now if they have an HD set and an HD box, even though the channel's not HD, just digital. As a digital subscriber, I'm not happy about that, especially since it looks like all digital tier subscribers will get NBC Weather Plus (the Peacock's own digital side channel) when it launches here week after next.

ObGameShow: Al Roker hosted "Remember This?" on MSNBC. I'm sure he'll be seen on NBC Weather Plus in promos.

Same with a 1994 or 1995 show on VH1 called "Body Language". TV Guide also listed it as a game. I got briefly excited, thinking it *WAS* the game show...

Someone said on another board that this was an across-the-board Comcast thing, but they may be wrong. Worth asking a supervisor if I ever run into one (most Comcast customer reps have two solutions for everything--zap the box or send a serviceman out).

CNBC once did a show called "Money Wheel" in the early-90s. Me, being the naive 9 or 10 year old that I was, immediately thought it was a "Wheel" rip off.

That must not have been the first movie with that title, because per The Jeopardy! Book, Merv Griffin said that after retitling the former What's the Question?, he recalled a movie called Double Jeopardy and thought it would be a perfect title for the second round.

Also, wasn't there a nine-hour epic from the early 1920s called Greed? ISTR someone thinking GSN must have run it through the Time Machine several times, based on his satellite guide.

Richard Crenna and Patty Duke once starred in a sitcom called "It Takes Two", and there was an episode of "NBC Action Theatre" in the early '70s titled "Double Jeopardy". By coincidence, one of the actors in the drama was a pre-$otC Jack Kelly, and the series was hosted by Art Fleming, who said he "liked the title of tonight's episode."

There was also a made-for-TV film in the mid-90s called Double Jeopardy that starred Brittany Murphy and Joe Penny...when the aforementioned Tommy Lee Jones/Ashley Judd film w/the same name came out, the former was retitled Victim of the Night to avoid confusion.

Yes, it was. NBC did a number of these recycled Bob Hope theatre packages in Summer 1972, all hosted by game show hosts. First off, I got the title of this one wrong; it was actually called "NBC Adventure Theatre", with Ed McMahon as a substitute host. Jack Kelly hosted "NBC Comedy Playhouse" which repeated the more lighthearted Hope stories, and Peter Marshall hosted "NBC Action Playhouse".

I was able to look up the cast for "Double Jeopardy" in an old reference book and found even more GS connections: Tom Poston, Lee Meriwether and "Miss Zsa Zsa Gabor" were also players.

Oddly enough, TCM just aired Greed in it's edited form (slightly over two hours) on Monday morning. (Yes, it was a silent film from around 1925.)

At least TCM haven't strayed very far from what their original premise was, unlike some of the other channels referenced in this thread....

Actually, NBC ran retreads of Chrysler Theater every summer between 1968 and 1972. According to "the Complete Directory of Prime Time Tv Shows", here's what they were:

(All series appeared during the summer; therefore, I only listed the years.)

NBC Action Playhouse (host Peter Marshall; 1971, 1972)
NBC Adventure Theatre (hosts Art Fleming (1971) and Ed McMahon (1972))
NBC Comedy Playhouse (hosts Monty Hall (1968) and Jack Kelly (1970))
NBC Comedy Theater (host Jack Kelly; 1971, 1972)

And, as mentioned before, all hosts were NBC game show hosts.

And "Bob Hope Presents the Chrysler Theater" ran in syndication as "Theater of Stars," with no on-camera host, which probably meant that the actual dramas ran without any editing. Even though Universal produced the series (with Hope Enterprises), NBC owned the syndication rights to the show, thanks to Hope's long connection with the network, and Paramount now owns the syndication rights due to the 1971 FCC rulings that also led to prime access.

Mark,

I think it depends on the suburb you live in. I have a friend on the SW side of the city who had digital cable and only received about 17 of the 40+ Music Choice channels. Scamcast is weird that way -

I was able to get ABCNN on 217 as well at least through the election and I believe I still receive it now without needing the HD equipment.

But back on topic, did anyone ever get confused by the "Post Game Show" that would come on after most major sports telecasts? When I was a kid, I saw that once and thought an actual game show was coming on!

I think the package must have been split up somehow because I've seen some of those Bob Hope shows under the title "Universal Star Time." They used to run on CBN in the early '80s. In the early '90's, Nostalgia used to run "Theater of the Stars," which was a mixture of the Hope shows and old "Matinee Theater" dramas from the '50's.

When New York Minute was released last spring, I've heard a lot of critics saying it was Mary Kate and Ashley's big screen debut. I guess It Takes Two was so bad they wanted to forget it happened.
