Balderdash

***Balderdash*** is an American television panel game show that aired on PAX TV from August 2, 2004 to February 4, 2005, with repeats airing until April 22, 2005. It was hosted by Elayne Boosler and announced by John Moschitta. The game was based on the board game of the same name which in turn is based on the parlour game Fictionary. On Oct. 10, 2018, Buena Vista Television announced plans of reviving the series with Brooke Burke as the new host.

## Gameplay

### Main game

Two contestants competed over the course of three rounds to determine the veracity of statements made by three celebrities. The two contestants began the first round with 250 points. Boosler gave the contestants a category and the contestants placed a wager. The question was then read to the panel and each celebrity gave an answer. Two of the answers were wrong ("balderdash"), and one celebrity had the correct answer ("truth"). Once the answers were given, the contestants chose a celebrity and whether they thought their answer was truth or balderdash. Correctly identifying a balderdash answer added the amount of the wager to the contestant's score, while correctly identifying an answer as truth paid off at double the wager. Incorrect answers simply lost the amount of the wager.

In the second round, 500 points were added to the contestants' scores. Two questions were played and a minimum of 250 points had to be wagered on each question. If either contestant had less than 250 points after the first question, they would be forced to bet all of their points on the second question.

In the third and final round, the contestants were given an additional 1,000 points. In this round, both of the contestants sought out the panelist with the truth for 2:1 odds. They were also required to bet at least half of their score, and their wagers were not revealed until after the correct answer was revealed. Whoever was ahead after this round won the game and advanced to the Balderdash Barrage bonus round for a chance to win a trip.

### Balderdash Barrage

The champion chose one of the celebrity panelists as their teammate for the Balderdash Barrage. Ten monitors were displayed, each with one letter in the word "Balderdash". The champion was shown up to nine statements, all of which ended with a Balderdash word or phrase (almost identical to the Gauntlet of Villains from the CBS game show *Whew!*). If the champion could not correct the statement, the celebrity was given a chance to give the correct response.

The round was played for 45 seconds, and each correct answer eliminated one of the letters in "Balderdash". Giving nine correct answers before time ran out automatically won the contestant a trip. Otherwise, the champion faced whatever monitors were left and chose one. The trip was hidden behind one of the monitors, while the other(s) hid a secondary prize (usually a spa package).
2009–10 United States network television schedule

The following is the **2009–10 network television schedule** for the five major English-language commercial broadcast networks in the United States. The schedule covers primetime hours from September 2009 through August 2010. PBS is not included; member stations have local flexibility over most of their schedules and broadcast times for network shows may vary. NBC stripped *The Jay Leno Show* weeknights at 10 pm Eastern/9 p.m. Central, but removed it after the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics. The CW eliminated its Sunday night programming block and returned that time to local affiliates; it returned to programming Sunday nights in the 2018–19 season. After three years as a network, MyNetworkTV became a syndication programming service, and therefore not recognized as a network. All times given are in U.S. Eastern Time and Pacific Time.

1958-1959 Television Schedule

The following is the **1958–59 network television schedule** for the four major English language commercial broadcast networks in the United States. The schedule covers primetime hours from September 1958 through March 1959. The schedule is followed by a list per network of returning series, new series, and series cancelled after the 1957–58 season.

According to television historians Castleman and Podrazik (1982), the networks' schedules were thrown "into complete chaos" by the quiz show scandals that erupted during fall 1958. At first only one series, *Dotto*, was implicated in the game-fixing charges. Ed Hilgemeier, a contestant on the program, filed a complaint with the show's sponsor, Colgate-Palmolive. Colgate withdrew its sponsorship of the Tuesday evening (on NBC) and daytime (on CBS) versions of *Dotto*, as well as DuMont's *Colgate Theatre.* None of these shows appeared on those three network's fall 1958 schedule.

*The $64,000 Challenge* (on CBS) similarly did not appear that fall, and by November, *The $64,000 Question* (CBS) and *Twenty-One* (NBC) were also removed from the network schedules, amidst accusations of game rigging. NBC's primetime *Tic-Tac-Dough* lasted through December. According to Castleman and Podrazik, "NBC and CBS were adamant in their own statements of innocence" since they only aired, and did not produce, the rigged series. They also claimed the cancellations were due to low ratings, not because of game-fixing accusations. DuMont's *Beat Mr. Genius* survived, due to the contestants being college students, and the prize money being awarded in scholarships. ABC had few game shows on its 1958–59 schedule, and "eagerly pointed out" its innocence in the quiz show mess. The network affirmed its commitment to Westerns, which could not be rigged.

Western TV series continued to be very popular with audiences, and for the first time, the three highest-rated programs on television, CBS's *Gunsmoke*, NBC's *Wagon Train*, and CBS's *Have Gun – Will Travel*, were all Westerns. ABC's new series, *The Rifleman* even hit #4, quite a feat for a network which had had no series in the top 30 five years earlier. DuMont was #2 on much of its Monday and Thursday night lineups. *Front Page Challenge* and *Sea Hunt* would see renewals into next season, as did *Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer* (ironically enough with star Darrin McGavin in a different role, but on the same night and time slot as his previously cancelled *Man Against Crime)*. MGM continued its relationship with DuMont, but with Colgate's sponsorship gone, the time slot was paired down to ninety minutes, and the offerings were the shorter, mostly 'B' Pictures.
ACME AM

**ACME AM** is an American morning television show that airs on the ACME network. Sherill May, Clark Radcliff, Harold Neil, and Geoffrey Ackerman host from the ACME Network Center in Los Angeles. The show debuted on May 15, 2023. Its weekday and Saturday shows air from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. in all time zones in the United States (live in the Eastern Time Zone and on broadcast delay elsewhere).

Sunday editions are one hour long and live-broadcast to ACME's stations at 7:00 a.m. Eastern Time, although some media markets air them at varying times. The Pacific Time Zone receives an updated feed with a customized introduction and continuous updates. It replaces *Daybreak*, ACME's previous morning program.

## History

On February 2023, after Simone Coleman was hired as the new executive producer to fill a position that had been vacant for several months, the network announced that it would replace its extant morning show *Daybreak*. This occurred due to network management's concerns regarding "a sense of a silent transfer of the program to the network's entertainment division, which would reposition it with a "variety, news, and entertainment format." On the other hand, executive producer Coleman denied that the show was leaning toward less serious news.

After the initial announcement, ACME issued a follow-up statement stating that the individual organizations comprising *Daybreak* would be renamed their distinct entity within the ACME News division to maintain the two hours of programming time proposed for syndicated or local programming on its stations.

## Format

Plans for the new "ACME AM" have departed from its traditional morning program format, frequently centered on lighter topics and entertainment news. The program's first half is news-driven, blending news, politics, analysis, and interviews with newsmakers and experts. These segments include expert panels, in-depth interviews, and investigative reports that delve into the day's most critical issues and topics. In addition, to live updates from field correspondents and real-time social media feeds that provide viewers with the most recent news and analysis, the increased use of technology and social media has significantly altered the program. This has increased the show's relevance in the age of social media and immediate news by making the viewing experience more dynamic and engaging. In contrast, the second half of the program focused more on subjects related to leisure and entertainment.

America's Talking

America's Talking is a cable news channel owned and operated by ONE Media Corporation. Taking it's name from the former network that would become MSNBC, America's Talking was launched in 2014 and quickly one of the top news networks in country, trailing only ABN News. Their slogan is "If it's important to **YOU**, it's important to **US!**"

## History

ONE Media Corporation was looking to get into the news business. ABN News was the top dog in the news company, followed by FOX News and CNN. MSNBC was a distant 4th. So ONE Media Corporation decided that they should launch a news channel that has a moderate approach (since some accuses FOX News of being too conservative and both CNN and MSNBC to liberal). The key thing was coming up with a name for the network. After some studying, they focused on **America's Talking**. The name came from a former network that was on from 1994-96, when they became MSNBC. ONE Media Corporation CEO Lawrence Furdge made the announcement that on Sept. 3, 2014, a new prospective in news will launch with a new network. Furdge then named Isaac Tanner General Manager and charged him with making the network a hit.

### A slow rise to respectability

On Sept. 3, 2014, America's Talking was talking with *The Early Show* (not to be confused with the former CBS morning news program). By the end of the year, America's Talking's ratings started to climb, and by the end of the 2014-15 season, America's Talking finished a strong fourth behind ABN News, FOX News, and CNN.

1956-1957 Television Schedule

The following is the 1956–57 network television schedule for the four major English language commercial broadcast networks in the United States. The schedule covers primetime hours from September 1956 through March 1957.

The 1956–57 network television schedule continued the trend of the previous season, with three of the four major U.S. television networks (ABC, CBS and DuMont) scheduling more and more westerns, adventure and crime drama series during prime time. In addition to its current stable of Westerns, which included Cheyenne, The Lone Ranger, and The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp, ABC scheduled two new Western TV series: Broken Arrow and The Adventures of Jim Bowie, while CBS added Dick Powell's Zane Grey Theater to its line-up, which already included Gunsmoke and Sergeant Preston of the Yukon. DuMont added a record 14 new filmed half-hour shows, and a rather ambitious new one-hour show, *Here Comes The Showboat*. Only four out of the fifteen would be renewed for a second season!

NBC, behind CBS in the network Nielsen ratings, hired Robert Kintner to revamp NBC's schedule. According to Castleman and Podrazik (1982), NBC's plan was to launch a program which would compete directly with CBS's second most popular series, The Ed Sullivan Show, on Sunday, the most heavily viewed TV night: "Sullivan's show was popular enough to boost the ratings of the programs on both before and after his; as a result, CBS had a chain of hits to begin the evening." NBC's strategy was designed to weaken CBS's Sunday night line-up. NBC's new program, The Steve Allen Show, debuted in the summer to get a head start on the competition. Although the two programs enjoyed a fierce rivalry, Sullivan's program would remain wildly popular, finishing second among all TV programs in the ratings that year, while Allen's show missed the top 30. Beginning this season, NBC had at least one show in color for every day of the week.
1996–97 United States network television schedule (late night)

These are the late night schedules for the four United States broadcast networks that offer programming during this time period, from September 1996 to August 1997. All times are Eastern or Pacific. Affiliates will fill non-network schedule with local, syndicated, or paid programming. Affiliates also have the option to preempt or delay network programming at their discretion.

The following is the **1971–72 network television schedule** for the three major English language commercial broadcast networks in the United States.

The schedule is followed by a list per network of returning series, new series, and series cancelled after the 1970–71 season. All times are Eastern and Pacific, with certain exceptions, such as *Monday Night Football*. This season would be the first time the prime time schedule would be shortened to three hours (with the exception of Sunday and Tuesday), giving the 7:30 p.m. slot back to local stations, as implemented in the Prime Time Access Rule.

The **1983–84 daytime network television schedule** for the three major English-language commercial broadcast networks in the United States covers the weekday and weekend daytime hours from September 1983 to August 1984.

## 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 to other timeslots) 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.

### Monday–Friday

**Notes:**

* During the two weeks that the 1984 Summer Olympics was broadcast on ABC, all regular programming was pre-empted except for 40-minute versions of *All My Children*, *One Life to Live*, and *General Hospital*, which ran from July 30 through August 3 from 2 pm ET/11 am PT to 4 pm ET/1 pm PT and August 6 through August 10 from 1 pm ET/10 am PT to 3 pm ET/12 noon PT.
* ***The New Newlywed Game*** aired on ABC from February 13 to 17, 1984 at 11:00AM EST. Hosted by Jim Lange, it was a test week of shows to see if a daytime version of Newlywed Game might be feasible for ABC daytime. The series did re-emerge eighteen months later in syndication with Bob Eubanks hosting again; he couldn't host the February 1984 week of shows because he was hosting *Dream House* on NBC at the time.

***One to Grow On*** aired after the credits of NBC's Saturday morning shows except *The Flintstone Funnies*, *Mister T*, and *Thundarr the Barbarian*.

Decisions Decisions

***Decisions Decisions*** was an unsold show where a question was asked and all answers were provided, except the players had to figure out which order they go in. This game's features would be simplified and implemented into the bonus game of *Hot Potato*, also hosted by Bill Cullen. On June 4, 2020, following the cancellation of *On a Roll* Buena Vista announced plans of a revival of the series with *On a Roll*'s former host Nick Lachey as host. The series is set to launch in Fall 2020.

## Gameplay

### Main Game

The game was played with two teams of two (consisting of one celebrity & one contestant) and in two rounds. In each round, the team in control was asked a question with six answers. One member of the controlling team picked two answers for which the partner would choose from. The partner would then make a choice and a correct decision scored points. After each choice, the correct answer stood pat, the first player picked one of the remaining answers to go with it, and the partner picked again. The process kept going until there was one answer left, after which the host gave the order of the answers. Then play went to the other team.

#### Round 1

The contestants picked answers off the board, and the celebrities made decisions. Each correct answer was worth one point.

#### Round 2

The roles were reversed. For the celebrities picked answers off the board, and the contestants made decisions. Each correct answer was worth two points.

The team with the most points at the end of the second round won the game. The winning contestant won $1,000 and a chance to play the bonus game.

## Bonus Round

The objective was to pick answers from an all-new group of six without choosing the bad answer (the big one). The winning contestant made the choices first and as soon as he/she missed one, the host gave the second bad answer, and the celebrity partner took over. Each correct answer was worth $1,000. If at any time the winning team picked two bad answers, the bonus game was over and all the money won from the bonus game was lost, but if the winning team picked all the good answers, the winning contestant kept the cash and won a grand prize.

2022-23 United States network television schedule (overnight)

The **2022–23 network overnight television schedule** for the three major English-language commercial broadcast networks in the United States covers the overnight hours from September 2022 to August 2023. The schedule is followed by a list per network of returning series, new series, and series canceled after the 2021–22 television season.

Weekend schedules are not included as none of the major networks uniformly offer any network late night programming on Friday and Saturday overnights year-round; NBC, ABC and CBS only air overnight programming on weekdays (although NBC does offer its affiliates the option of carrying same-day rebroadcasts of NBC News-produced programs Sunday–Friday, and LXTV-produced lifestyle programs on Friday and Saturday overnights; see notes below).

PBS is not included at all, as its member television stations have local flexibility over most of their schedules and broadcast times for network shows may vary. (Member stations may additionally opt to utilize the PBS Satellite Service to fill overnight airtime.) Fox, The CW and MyNetworkTV are not included because neither network/programming service offers overnight programs of any kind, nor is Ion Television since the network's late-night schedule consists of syndicated drama reruns and paid programming.

## Schedule

* New series are highlighted in **bold**.
* All times correspond to U.S. Eastern and Pacific Time scheduling (except for some live 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, and fill timeslots not allocated to network programs with local, syndicated, or paid programming at their discretion. 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 station or a digital subchannel in their regular timeslot). Stations may air shows at other times at their preference.

### Weeknights

**Notes:**

* ABC, NBC and CBS offer their overnight and early morning newscasts via a looping feed (usually running as late as 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time) to accommodate local scheduling in the westernmost contiguous time zones or for use a filler programming for stations that do not offer a local morning newscast; some stations without a morning newscast may air syndicated or time-lease programs instead of the full newscast loop.
