Body Talk

Body Talk is an American syndicated game show based on a game of charades, which two other syndicated game shows are also based on Charades: Body Language and Showoffs. The difference is that Body Talk uses a "Battle of the Sexes" format. Body Talk was at first an unsold pilot for ABC back in 1990. In 2015, Buena Vista Productions, a subsidiary of Disney/ABC, announced plans of relaunching Body Talk with Vicki Lawrence (who hosted the pilot) as the host of the series. The series debuted on Sept. 10, 2016. Body Talk is a Buena Vista Production, in association with FreMantleMedia.

## Gameplay

Two teams of three players (consisting of two celebrities & one contestant), played this game of charades in a "battle of the sexes" manner (three men vs. three women). The women were dressed in red and the men were dressed in blue.

### Main Game

#### Round 1

In the first round, a celeb from each team came up. One got the choice of two words, A or B, to have the opposing celebrity play, leaving the other word to the choosing team. The team with the word chosen by the opponents went first, followed by the choosing team. Whichever team got their word in the faster time than the other won $100. This continued in pairs for a total of eight words.

#### Round 2: Panic Round

The second round was a 5-word speed round at $100/word. Each contestant had 30 seconds to act out for one of his/her celebrity partners.

#### Round 3: Bidding Round

The third & final round is similar to the "Bid-A-Note" round from *Name That Tune*. Each team would send up one celebrity, and both were shown a word. One of the celebs would bid how much time they could do the word in. The other celebrity could either choose to beat that time by acting out that word with one second less than the bid or challenge the other celebrity to do it in the time that s/he bid. The celebrity that won the bidding got act out the word in the time allotted. If the first team can beat the clock, they won the word, otherwise the opposing team won the word. The first word was worth $300 and each new word went up by $100. The first team to win $2,000 or more wins the game and goes on to the bonus round.

### Bonus Round: The Lineup

In the bonus round, 10 members of the studio audience come on stage and they act out the words while the team guesses. The object of the game was to get seven out of ten words in 60 seconds or less. The winning team was required to pass on no more than three words. Each correct word was worth $100 for both the player and the controlling audience member, and if the team guessed seven words before the 60 seconds ran out the contestant won $10,000.

Hard Copy

***Hard Copy*** is an American tabloid news television show that ran in syndication from 1989 to 1999. *Hard Copy* was aggressive in its use of questionable material on television, including gratuitous violence.

The original hosts of *Hard Copy* were Alan Frio and Terry Murphy; Barry Nolan joined the series in 1990 and stayed until 1998, when he and Murphy departed. In the show's final season, Kyle Kraska took over as host.

*Hard Copy* was produced and distributed by Paramount Domestic Television and, for much of its time on air, was often aired with its sister show, the Hollywood news program *Entertainment Tonight* as part of an hour-long programming block sold to local stations.

On Apr. 3, 2016, Tribune Broadcasting announced that they've purchased rights to the series from Paramount Domestic Television and would begin production of the series revival, which debuted on Sept. 3, 2016 with Leeza Gibbons (who hosted *Entertainment Tonight* from 1984-2000) as the host.

## Overview

*Hard Copy* was a tabloid show that aired footage and news about celebrities and everyday people. Also featured were interviews with various newsmakers.

### 1992 Elton John Lawsuit

In 1992, Elton John threatened to take them to court, alleging a reporter tried to blackmail him into giving an interview by falsely claiming he had AIDS. They claimed Elton moved to Atlanta to be near an AIDS treatment centre. Elton in his lawsuit alleged extortion, slander, invasion of privacy and reckless endangerment.

The day after the lawsuit was filed, the show ran a segment about John but, rather than accuse him of having HIV, praising him for the work he was doing for those affected by the disease. John's attorney told *The Enquirer* he "assume(d) the show was changed as a result of our suit".

### 1996 Celebrity Boycott

In 1996, actor George Clooney began a public boycott of both *Hard Copy* and Paramount's celebrity news show *Entertainment Tonight* after *Hard Copy* violated a six-month agreement not to air segments about Clooney by airing footage of Clooney and then-girlfriend Celine Balitran on the set of his film *Batman & Robin*. Other celebrities supported the boycott including Whoopi Goldberg, Madonna, and Steven Spielberg. Paramount eventually agreed to modify the way that both shows gathered information for their stories. They also agreed not to air "unauthorized footage" of celebrities or "footage that is known to have been obtained illegally."

Fox Sports South

**Fox Sports South** is an American regional sports network that is owned by Nexstar Media Group, and operates as an affiliate of Fox Sports Networks. The network carries regional coverage of professional and collegiate sports events from across the Southern United States, along with other sporting events and programming from FSN.
Fox Sports South is available on cable providers throughout Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky and Mississippi; it is also available nationwide on satellite via DirecTV and Dish Network.
Buena Vista Television

Buena Vista Television is one of the brands under Buena Vista International. It is the in-home sales and content distribution firm of the Disney–ABC Television Group, a division of The Walt Disney Company. Content distribution responsibilities include domestic television syndication, domestic pay TV, Internet and cable video-on-demand (VOD), and pay-per-view outlets. Buena Vista Television is the sister company of Disney-ABC Domestic Television company.

## Background

Walt Disney Pictures established a television syndication unit in 1985, with Robert Jacquemin as senior vice president of domestic television distribution. None of its animated feature films were planned to enter syndication at the time. The division was incorporated as **Buena Vista Television, Inc.** on November 5, 1985. with its first release in the first run syndication market with *Siskel & Ebert*. In 1990, the company offered its first game show, *Challengers,* into first-run syndication. The company produced the morning business show, *Today's Business*, in August 1986, only to put an end to the show in April 1987, indicating that they were unable to get enough advertisers.

In late 1986, Buena Vista was shopping *Duck Tales* for a 1987 debut, with a 4-6 p.m. placement and a 2.5/3.5 syndicator/station ad split. In 1990, the company offered its first game show, *Challengers*, for first run syndication. In late 1990 and early 1991, after launching the Disney Afternoon syndicated block, Buena Vista had considered starting a new one-hour morning block to start in 1992.

On August 24, 1994, a reorganization of Disney took place in which Richard H. Frank became head of a newly formed Walt Disney Television and Telecommunications, which was split from The Walt Disney Studios and included Buena Vista TV.

In April 1996, due to ongoing post Disney–Capital Cities/ABC merger realignment and retirement of its president, Walt Disney Television and Telecommunications's divisions were reassigned to other groups. Therefore, BVTV, as a part of Walt Disney Television International, was transferred to Capital Cities/ABC.

In March 2007, Starz Entertainment sued BVTV for breaching their agreement by allowing movies available online through Apple's iTunes Store and other outlets. The introduction of the Apple TV device forced Starz to file suit which hinged on the "contractual definition of 'television'" and whether complete TV exclusivity was granted, as Starz then had a secondary distribution deal with Netflix.

In May 2007, The Walt Disney Company announced plans to semi-retire the use of the Buena Vista brand, instead focusing on the three core brands of Disney, ABC, and ESPN. As a result, Buena Vista Television was spun off into it's own company, and is now a sister company with Disney–ABC Domestic Television (DADT).

Monster Pub

This pub had many nefarious patrons, including Yuan-Ti, Wereboars, Gnolls, Orcs, and Pirates.

Adventurers from Quagmar went inside and scoped the place out. They were able to get some information before they went back later and attacked and looted the place.

Before the raid on the pub, there were demonic creatures that seemed to run the place. A huge, demonic, red-furred gorilla creature as a bouncer, small, insect-like demons as busboys, servers, and a bartender, a multi-mouthed oozing blob that constantly yodeled as entertainment, and the horribly obese Debbie whose vomit was autonomous in an office in the back. Debbie was behind the distribution of the Dreamwine and Havoc Powder in the area. She received shipments on the 6th day of the week and more needs to be done to trace back those deliveries.

Family Affairs

***Family Affairs*** is a British soap opera that aired on Channel 5. It debuted on 30 March 1997, the day of the launch of Channel 5 and was screened as five thirty-minute episodes each week. The series never achieved high ratings, so the producers conducted several drastic revamps of the series. There were several wholesale changeovers of the cast, and the premise of the series was refocused from a family in a quiet suburb just outside London, to a range of different people living on a bustling outer London street. On 2 August 2005, Channel 5 announced they would not renew *Family Affairs*. Production ceased on 4 November, and the final episode was broadcast on 30 December 2005.

The series was shot on video to give a film look. In 1999 and 2004, single episodes used standard video presentation for testing purposes. Producer Sean O'Connor changed to standard video presentation from September 2005 until the final episode.

In 2014, UPN, which was in the process of relaunch as a network under new owners United Television (the successors of Chris-Craft Industries) decided to have a daytime block to go along with their weeknight block. After the additions of *The Secret Storm*, *Search for Tomorrow*, and *Love of Life*, it was decided that the network would reboot the series and taking the series where the British series left off.
CableACE Awards

## The CableACE Awards

The CableACE Awards is an award that was given by the Fantasy/Fictional Television Committee to honor excellence in the Fictional Television programming. Taking it's name from the defunct award show that went from 1978-97, the Award is shaped as a glass spade, as in the Ace of spades. The award has been awarded since the first award show in 2018.

## Judging

Professionals in the television industry were randomly selected to be judges. A Universal City hotel would be selected, where several rooms would be rented for the day. Individual rooms would be designated for each award category. Judges were discouraged from leaving the rooms at any time during the day-long judging. There were usually eight to 12 judges for each category. Depending on the submissions being presented, facilitators would play anywhere from 10 minutes per show – to the entire show – for the judges' award consideration. Judges would mark their ballots privately and were told to not discuss their selections with other judges. The awards standard tallying by a certified public accounting firm was done to keep the results of the ballot secret until the time of the announcement of the award's winner.

2004–05 United States network television schedule (daytime)

The **2004–05 daytime network television schedule** for the five major English-language commercial broadcast networks in the United States in operation during that television season covers the weekday daytime hours from September 2004 to August 2005. Affiliates fill time periods not occupied by network programs with local or syndicated programming. PBS – which offers daytime programming through a children's program block, PBS Kids – is not included, as its member television stations have local flexibility over most of their schedules and broadcast times for network shows may vary. Also not included are stations affiliated with PAX, as its schedule is composed mainly of syndicated reruns although it also carried some first-run programs.

## Schedule

* All times correspond to U.S. Eastern and Pacific Time scheduling (except for some live sports or events). Except where affiliates slot certain programs outside their network-dictated timeslots, subtract one hour for Central, Mountain, Alaska, and Hawaii-Aleutian times.
* Local schedules may differ, as affiliates have the option to pre-empt or delay network programs. Such scheduling may be limited to preemptions caused by local or national breaking news or weather coverage (which may force stations to tape delay certain programs in overnight timeslots or defer them to a co-operated or other contracted station in their regular timeslot) and any major sports events scheduled to air in a weekday timeslot (mainly during major holidays). Stations may air shows at other times at their preference.

## Impact on the 1988 Writers Guild of America strike

The 1988 Writers Guild of America strike lasted between March 7 and August 7. During the strike, production on scripted television series across all of the major television networks was suspended. The writers' strike forced the networks to postpone the start of the fall 1988 schedule later than usual; rather than the traditional late-September/early-October start, new and returning series had their premieres delayed until late October and into November. In the interim, the networks had to rely on a hodgepodge of programming, including reruns, films, entertainment and news specials, program-length political advertising, and unscripted original series (e.g. CBS' *High Risk*); NBC and ABC also benefited from sports programming (NBC relied on the Summer Olympics in September and the World Series in October, while ABC had postseason baseball coverage and moved up the start time for the early weeks of *Monday Night Football* from 9 p.m. ET to 8 p.m. ET to replace *MacGyver*, which was not yet ready with new episodes at the time). Even though previous strikes of Hollywood employees occurred in 1980 and 1981, those strikes only had a minor effect on the production of television programs that aired in the 1980–81 and 1981–82 seasons. The 1988–89 television season was thus the first of three television seasons to have its start delayed due to issues outside of the control of the major networks; the next two instances occurred in the 2001–02 season (due to the networks' news coverage of the September 11 attacks) and the 2020–21 season (due to the suspension of television productions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic).

## Sunday

* **Note**: **Quantum Leap** had a two-hour premiere Sunday, March 26, 1989 on NBC.
* **Note**: **The Jim Henson Hour** briefly replaced **The Magical World of Disney** on May 14, 1989, and again between July 9-July 30.

Grosse Pointe

*Grosse Pointe* is an American Soap Opera, created by Paul Rauch and shown on the DuMont Television Network since Oct. 15, 1990. The series is based on an affluent coastal area adjacent to Detroit, MI, with the series being set in the five adjacent individual cities. From southwest to northeast, they are:

* Grosse Pointe Park, city
* Grosse Pointe, city
* Grosse Pointe Farms, city
* Grosse Pointe Shores, city (incorporated in 2009 from the remnants of two townships, Grosse Pointe Township in Wayne County and Lake Township in Macomb County)
* Grosse Pointe Woods, city

## Story Development

The story revolves around competing families in the auto industry as well as auto racers. At the start of the series in 1990, there were four auto companies competing against each other: Oakland (loosely based on the now-defunct Pontiac car line), American Motors (loosely based on the Jeep/Eagle car line), Nash (loosely based on the now-defunct Mercury car line), and Durant Motors (loosely based on the Chevrolet car line), as well as the NTT IndyCar Series. As the series progressed, more families were introduced, including two Japanese auto companies: Autozam (loosely based on the Mazda car line) and Prince (loosely based on the Toyota car line).

## Production

### Development

The development of the series came about in 1986 when CBS was on the hunt to replace *Capitol*. Paul Rauch (an executive producer for ABC's *One Life to Live* at the time) developed the series as a replacement. Ultimately, CBS passed on it (as well as Claire Labine's proposal entitled *Celebration*) for *The Bold and the Beautiful*. In 1989, DuMont made the announcement that they were cancelling both *First Love* and *Valiant Lady* and approached Rauch on his proposal. On June 10, 1990, it was announced that both *First Love* and *Valiant Lady* would air their final episodes on Oct. 12, 1990, and *Grosse Pointe* would debut on Oct. 15, 1990, following DuMont's megahit *Colonial Road.*

### Taping

*Grosse Pointe* has been shot at Stage 10 at DuMont Studios in Los Angeles for its entire run so far. The show typically uses the traditional soap opera look, featuring constructed sets such as areas around the real-life Grosse Pointe areas, including the mansions and businesses as well as the schools. Like other soap operas, *Grosse Point* is usually taped three to four weeks in advance. In recent times, the show has increased shooting on location, in the way fellow DuMont soap *Colonial Road* does.

### Theme Song and title sequence

As the series was getting ready to debut, DuMont went to Procter & Gamble (who were producing *Another World* on NBC) about using one of their old themes (in particular, the theme from 1981-86). After getting their approval, they decided to go with using various areas around Grosse Pointe as their title sequence.
