Card Sharks (1986-89) was a Mark Goodson Productions.

>Child's Play (Mark Goodson Productions)

With David Sparks

>Double Dare (1976-77) (Mark Goodson/Bill Todman Productions)
>Family Feud (1988-95) (Mark Goodson/Bill Todman Productions)

The Ray Combs version (1988--94) and Richard Dawson version (1994--95) are both
taped from Studio 33 and are actually from Mark Goodson Productions. Any
syndicated versions of any Feud from 1988--95 were distributed by LBS
Communicatins and later All American Televison/Pearson.

>High Rollers (1987-88) (Merrill Heatter Productions/Century Towers
Productions/Orion Television)

Wink's syndicated version.

>The Hollywood Game (Pasetta Productions/Rastar)

Bob Goen's weekly summertime game show from 1992 that aired on CBS on Friday
nights.

Chuck Henry's version (1989) is from Mark Goodson Productions.

>The Price is Right (1972-present) (Mark Goodson/Bill Todman Productions)

TPIR became a Mark Goodson Production (using the familiar MGP logo) in 1983 or
1984. Later in the late 1990's (I think 1996), CBS daytime's TPIR included
All-American Televison (Pearson) as their distribution. The syndicated version
of Doug Davidson's TnPIR from 1994 was a Mark Goodson Productions and was
distributed by Paramount Television.

>Tell it to Groucho (John Guedel Productions)
>The $25,000 Pyramid (1982-88) (Bob Stewart Productions)
>The $100,000 Pyramid (1985-88) (Bob Stewart Productions)

$100K Pyramid (Clark) was distributed by 20th Century Fox. I remember seeing
this syndicated version on WWOR--9 back in 1985.

Isn't the John Davidson version of $100K Pyramid (1991--92) taped from Studio
33? Johnny Gilbert, the announcer for this show says "This is the winner's
circle. This is where someone can win $100,000. From Television City in
Hollywood this is the $100,000 Pyramid....."
Fortunately, the Davidson version was distributed by Orion and later Multimedia
Productions.

>Wheel of Fortune (1989-95) (Merv Griffin Productions)

Syndicated versions with Pat Sajak were all distributed by King World.

>Win, Lose or Draw (Burt & Bert Productions/Kline & Friends Productions)

It's Bert and Burt Productions. Both NBC network (Lawrence-Schultz) and
syndicated versions (Convy or Weller) were both distributed by Buena Vista
Productions.

While TJW (and Gambit) occasionally taped in 33, they were
usually shot in 31.

I shot Whew! in 33, but it also shot in 31 and 41. And
Whew! was a production of The Bud Austin Company in
association w/ Burt Sugarman Productions. I don't believe
Group W had anything to do with it.

>*"All New Beat The Clock" -- Host: Monty Hall (1977?-7?)
(Mark Goodson - Bill

I believe BtC shot in 31.

I could swear Mike the stagehand at CBS said that when he worked Davidson's
pyramid it taped next door in the adjacent studio that is used by Bold and the
Beautiful (Studio 31?).

I'm not sure, but I'm willing to try!

>The Joker's Wild (1972-75) (Jack Barry & Dan Enright Productions)

The 1972-75 edition was simply a Jack Barry Production. Dan Enright had
nothing to do with the production of the CBS version of TJW. John Tobaysen was
the executive producer of this version, with Jack Barry listed as executive in
charge of production.

The All New Beat the Clock was definitely taped in 31 from 1979 until IIRC
1980. I was there.

Bullseye was taped in 33.

Chris, where did they hide the band? I don't think I know where they
hid. Never saw 'em on camera.

I think Dick Hyman was up in the balcony at the Little Theatre.

Not so bubbula! The first edition of EoTVGS says that Bullseye taped across
from "The Tonight Show", because on day Johnny Carson went into the studio and
declared how much he liked the "stylish" set. "Bullseye" was taped at studio 3
at NBC in "beautiful, downtown Burbank"

But the (second edition) EOTVGS also states that, in fact, Bullseye was
taped at CBS TV City during the 1981 and 1982 seasons. So there, boobala.

First of all, EoTVGS isn't always right. (Sorry, David!)
And while it may well have taped in studio 3, it also taped
in studio 4, which is where I saw it. Later on, it moved
cross-town to Television City.

(Sigh) Well, here goes ...

BTC '79 was done at a 90-degree angle to the way most shows would be done in
that studio. In 31 you have the booth at one end of the studio and the loading
doors on the opposite end. The audience bleachers were generally positioned in
front of the booth facing the loading doors. On BTC '79 the bleachers were
positioned so that if you sat in the audience, the booth was on the left and
the loading doors were on the right. The band was next to the audience
bleachers on the right, between the audience and the loading doors.

[C319Chris]

Better to trust someone who was there than the EOTVGS.

[Mitch Groff]

Allright, that's a good description, but can you draw us a diagram, Chris?

Thanks for the exhaustively rehearsed answer! I do remember watching
Monty's BTC and thinking "wow, this company has spared no expense". From
going to no music to speak of (Collyer) to an organ (Narz/Wood) to a
little band (Hall).... that's progress!

We at Hollywood South Dakota Productions would like to reach out to you. I am the son of Kieth Maben Thompson, of WOR in NY 1950's, who knew Bob Barker & Dan Enwright from those days. He introduced me to them in Century City in 1984. Anyway, is there some way we might work together?

I know some Press Your Luck episodes were taped there. Thought all of them were, but they bounced around studios a bit during the run.

One we can add now is not a game show, but a political commentary show: HBO's Real Time With Bill Maher. Surprisingly, it looks NOTHING like Studio 33 from how they darken the set to fit the setting, but you can tell it's Studio 33 if you look well enough when they do a wide shot of the set. It's been filmed there (live, by the way) since he began at HBO.

Here something you may not have known.

In the seventies, Ida Mufferbids had a short-lived talk show/variety show!

"The Ida Mufferbids Show" was indeed taped at Studio 33 when Price wasn't filming.
