I believe the reason that the original Richard Dawson 1976-85 version ended when it did was because of this format change described right here:

It's odd that Dawson outlived the 2nd host Ray Combs.

I always thought Dawson was let go because his drinking got out of control.

Who knows what might have happened had Mr. Combs not taken his own life. :(
