Lately, I've become interested in the daytime game show "Fantasy" that aired in NBC daytime in 1982-83. Why? Because it's odd; it's classified as a game show even though the few video clips available have no gameplay. Plus, a number of clips have segments like kid's news and musical performances. Did anyone see this show back then, and could you give me a clearer idea of what it was about?

I remember this show. It featured contestants, through letters appeared on the show to make their dreams come true. The show was co-hosted by Peter Marshall and Leslie Uggams and lasted over a year. The show was creamed in the ratings by General Hospital and Guiding Light and a number of affiliates didn't air Fantasy, due to local or syndicated programming commitments.

The show that replaced Fantasy was funnier but also suffered from ratings and clearance problems was The Match Game/Hollywood Squares Hour.

So the competitions were to see who got to get their dream fulfilled? What kind of competitions did they do?

It was a show that was similar to You Asked for It where viewers wrote in to have their fantasies fulfilled. What contestants had to do varied each show depending on the circumstances.

I watched it quite a bit when I was home from school it was a pretty good show

Oh I loved that show as a kid. My local NBC affiliate didn't carry the show but luckily I was able to get another NBC station with my antenna.

I recall that show. Our NBC outlet ran it until its last month when an "Hour Magazine" clone called "Breakaway" pre-empted it.

I remember it, too

I use to watch it in the afternoons after Another World

Merrill Heatter produced the show with Peter Marshall and it was also co-produced by Columbia Pictures Television A Unit of the Coca-Cola Company @ the time and GSN aired only 1 episode back in the mid-90's
