TVS stopped caring about the show by 1986 because they were more interested in getting their pet project off the ground and have it take over 73's Studio space. It's name? CATCHPHRASE.
By the time this series was - mercifully - canned, it was a shadow of what it had been, especially when Sandi Toksvig was there. Looking back, it was really the beginning of the end when she left.
@7:20 Erm, which camera am I on? haha I have to admit I don't remember this at all but was enjoyable to watch and read about it. Classic stuff as ever TheMeakers!
I never really liked the wild west theme. I remember when I was a kid that I felt disappointed with it and always wished that it would go back to how it was.
The original house set was huge and took up an entire studio for months at a time. TVS couldn't afford to keep doing that with the need to keep making new stuff, so they introduced "7T3" in an attempt to keep the show going with less resources. It really didn't work, though, and they canned it earlier than intended.
I only started watching when Sandi Tomsvig had left and my favorite tv program as a kid. There’s nothing like it and I felt the Wild West theme was really fun
What's even more funny was that the Wild West Theme Park was more expensive than the house set. Therefore the show was axed after that! Oh classic financial short-sightedness of TVS! (They were taken over by Meridian in 1992!) After many more bone headed financial decisions.
6.46 that’s me, I was on tv, blue ski jacket

I loved 7T3, i once sketched a picture of 7T3 when it was on as a child and wanted to send it in!!
Anybody notice an iCarly prop?

Even TVS had enough of it taking up the Studio.

It wasn't by choice. TVS kicked them out.

Great stuff!
@@TheMeakers do you have any old full episodes ?
In particular “Demolition” where the bathroom of the 73 house dropped into the living room
Daniel Lee - McGrath Estate Agents I do, yes! 😀
@@TheMeakers amazing! How can I contact you about getting some 😊
@@TheMeakers It's funny because they were literally making fun of it's own decline.
This was the very essence of jumping the shark.

Great seeing the M.W.C ☺
