[QUOTE="AndyB2008, post: 393822, member: 26097"] That new timeslot for Texas saw NBC move Wheel of Fortune (which was giving TPIR some competition at 11am) to 10.30am and the cancellations of Blockbusters (the original American version of the Bob Holness quiz) and Battlestars. Unfortunately Texas failed to get an audience at 11am. By this point, The Doctors was moved to noon to accommodate Search for Tomorrow at 12.30pm, which saw The Doctors competing with Family Feud and Y&R, not to mention NBC affiliates preferred local newscasts. The Doctors and Texas lasted until the end of 1982. NBC had a new line up from the beginning of 1983 - Sale of The Century with Jim Perry at 10.30am, Wheel returning to 11am, Hit Man with Peter Tomarken at 11.30am then Just Men with Betty White at noon. Hit Man and Just Men never found an audience. Hit Man was against the second half of The Price of Right, while Just Men suffered the same scheduling issues as The Doctors -affiliate preemptions or facing Family Feud\Y&R. Both got the axe after 13 weeks. [/QUOTE]
