Your thoughts on TattleTales coming back to CBS after 4 years - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Hey guys, here's another question for all of you:

Now, when TattleTales 1st came to CBS, the show aired for 4 years from 1974-1978 on CBS and syndication

However, it was 30 years ago that the show cameback to CBS for the 1st time in 4 years in 1982 and it lasted until 1984 and that was when the show was replaced by another Mark Goodson Game Show Body Language

and the theme was done by Score Productions

and so, I want to know, what were your thoughts on TattleTales coming back to CBS and why did they bring the show back?

Was it b/c CBS couldn't find another replacement?

Please share your thoughts on this

and now, here are some of the Video Clips:

I never really got into Tattle tales....probably because it was a sham! I mean Charles Nelson Reilly and his "wife" were on that show a few times and the last I checked, CNR was gay. lol

Tattletales was a very funny show that succeeded because it had the right host in Bert Convy and also gave the studio audience a chance to win some money just for coming by being in the right rooting section.

Tattletales came back because CBS was having no luck with anything else in the 4PM time slot. Tattletales was the only show to stay in that time slot for any length of time in the 70s. So CBS thought they would try it again and hope affilates would carry this show.
