I remember this one- it was on CBS’ afternoon schedule at 4pm(et)- although towards the end of its run, WCBS-TV in New York aired it locally at 1pm, so they could schedule hour-long editions of “DINAH!” and “THE MIKE DOUGLAS SHOW” back-to-back from 4 to 6pm. The show was taped at the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York.
I too remember this show.But seems to me that it was on in the morning,maybe just before or after Price Is Right.Maybe my local CBS affiliate scheduled it at a convienient time for them.Wasnt particularly good show,and was kind of dumb,but I do remember it.
Unless someone here says otherwise, I believe that Adam Wade was the first African-American game show host
That’s correct….
I was a contestant on the show “Musical Chairs” in 1975. I won the bonus round, so I would have been on for 2 consecutive days. The guests were Sister Sledge and Shari Lewis….
Is there ANYWAY that I could get a hold of the taping???
There are three episodes known to exist. Ironically one is from the final episode of the week with Shari Lewis and Sister Sledge (and also Broadway singer Larry Kert) but it’s not your episode.

This show is probably best remembered as the show when losing contestants, still seated at their chairs, would be pushed back offstage.
