Listen "Episode 31--CBS Daytime in 1979 (Beat the Clock and Whew!)"
Episode Synopsis
We look at two memorable shows from Fall 1979, albeit memorable for differing reasons. Beat the Clock was quite a departure from previous versions of that show, and Whew! was funny and engaging but had a confusing rule set. Ultimately, both shows died in part to a common desperate last gasp attempt to gain viewers--making the shows celebrity-based.
