There's no Four Star "CGI 4" logo at the end. Four Star distributed this show when it was aired on USA back in the late 1980's with the Bill Armstrong era. The Allen Ludden episodes are not distributed by Four Star.
THis is something not seen in roughly 40 years, and the online game show community will like seeing this turn up. The Bill Armstrong 1976-77 season of the show aired on USA in 1986-87, but the Allen Ludden 1977-79 episodes have never aired since their original run.
Ratings for the show on the USA network were not strong enough as they wanted it to be. So they dropped the show after more than a year on the network with only the Bill Armstrong hosted episodes shown. It's replacement was Play The Percentages.
@@meyerj75 Liar's Club and Bullseye were replaced on 6/29/1987 with Hot Potato reruns and BUmper Stumpers. JOker's Wild(Bill CUllen) reruns were replaced by Play the Percentages reruns on 4/27/1987.
@@zachhoran I had just looked up that show on "The Encyclopedia of TV Game Shows (2nd Edition) and although they did display the dates mentioned on when the USA network aired on the said game shows, there was no mention on the dates that Liar's Club aired on the network except the timeline it aired on first run syndication, nor was it displayed on the Appendix B section on the Chronology of Game Shows. Seems like the authors, David Schwartz, Steve Ryan, & Fred Wostbrock completely forgot that Liar's Club really did air reruns of the Armstrong hosted episodes on the USA network at all! So yes. The USA network would have to drop at least two game shows in order for Hot Potato and Bumper Stumpers to be on with Bill Cullen hosted Joker's Wild trading places with Play The Percentages at least two months earlier.
These old games are best w/Betty & Allen
Terribly underrated game show that is hungry for a revival. Perhaps GSN or BUZZR can make it happen.

Four Star also distributed the TV show "Mad Movies With The L.A. Connection" back in 1985.

0:01 - I see a 1994 TCF logo at a glimpse before it got into “Liar’s Club”. That was a weird transition.
