NBC did have some good game shows back then("Sale of the Century",
"Scrabble", and "Super Password"). However in SP's case, they had the issue
of a lot of stations airing local newscasts at 12:00(that wasn't the case
everywhere, since that's 11:00 in the Midwest and the other zones back
then). Phil Donahue, as he was back then, was the king of talk(although in
my area, you could watch "Superior Court" or reruns of "Falcon Crest"
instead if you didn't like him). The Central stations could do news at
12:00 and then the soaps at 12:30-3:30.
