It had to happen eventually.
After several television seasons in
which an astonishing variety of people decided to host syndicated talk
shows for f\m and profit — comedians and faded tnovie stars, a bestselling author, a former Planned
Parenthood president, the onetime
mayor of Cincinnati — the twilight
of talk is descending.
All but one of the nine shows that

"Kick! Lake" clones with precocious

Dick Kuriander 'of Petty Television,

The first entry made its debut this
week, hosted by the ever-beaming
Whifc Martindale: "Debt" is shown
weekdays at 6:30 p.m. on the
Lifetime channel. Full of time-tested elements -— a game board with
categories, alarmingly ebullient
contestants, elimination rounds,
shouted advisories from the audience — it offers a/different kind of
payoff Winners get several thousand dollars with which to eradi-

:
preposterous updating of "Let's
Make a Deal," to Fox as a primetime show, possibly with a syndicated daytime version to follow. "It's
sort of the Indiana Jones version,"
Tartikoff says. In the pilots shot for
Fox, "we smashed cars. We had men
dressing as women. We had a
mechanical bucking bull, like in
"Urban Cowboy.' " And no one was
in costume except for Little
Richard, who was part of the show.
There's even talk of the ultimate
cross-promotion, a game show that
would simultaneously boost both
washed-up celebrities and that proliferating theme restaurant; "Planet
Hollywood Squares."
As with most TV trends, we've
been here before. The game show,
says Kuriander, "has as great a failure rate as talk shows — it's just that
we have a short memory." A rafl of
games crashed and burned in the
late '80s and early "90s, including
"Monopoly," two'different attempts
to syndicate 'The Price Is Right"
and "Trump Card" (a genuflection to
that ultimate '80s guy, Donald
Trump). The new crowd faces similar peril, particularly with so many
of them focused on 1-u-v.
But with the "yak pack," as Variety,
refers to talk shows, in deep trouble,
programmers have been casting
about for alternatives. Not all the
yakkers are floundering: Queen
Oprah actually improved her ratings this season, with Mpntel
Williams and Sally Jessy Raphael
gaining ground as well. .But the
February^sweeps" data show that
Jenny Jones lost roughly a; quarter
of her target audience (women ages
25 to 54) since February 1995, Ricki
Lake's ratings among women ages 18
to 34 fell 14 percent in "early fringe"
time periods (late afternoon
through early evening), and almost a
-third in markets where her show
airs earlier in the day. Geraldo
Rivera and Maury Povich also took
ratings hits. Phil Donahue closed up
shop altogether.
cate real-life loans or Visa balances,
which allows the announcer to proclaim the venerable Martindale
"the Crown Prince of Credit! The
Duke of Debt!"
Later in June, USA Network plans
to. unveil one of several relationship
games, indicating perhaps that the
boyfriend-girlfriend and yourcheatin'-heart themes so integral to
talk shows aren't going away. "The
Big Date," on which a contestant
poses silly questions to three members of the opposite sex and chooses
one — sound familiar? — will be
hosted by Mark Walberg, one of the
young hopefuls whose talk shows
were canceled this season.
By fall there'll be no place to hide..
Updated versions of "The Dating
Game" and "The Newlywed Game"
will air back-to-back on 160 stations
nationwide.
Tribune
Entertainment, which syndicates
"Geraldo!," is unveiling still another date show, called "BZZZ!"
because of the buzzer with which a
contestant can dismiss a candidate
who's insufficiently datable. (Yes, it
is the unholy offspring of "The
Dating Game" and "The Gong
Show," Tribune President Dick
Askin acknowledges. "A little more
polite, but it's the same principle.").
Thirty .stations have signed on to
produce local versions of "Know It
Alls/' invented by former NBC programming chief Brandon Tartikpff,
now in its third successful season in
New Orleans (where it was called
"N.O, It Alls"). The i<Jea is to ask
questions based on local lore; personalities and culture (cooking and
restaurants are big categories in the
Big Easy), thus drawing local audi-ences and, not coincidentally, local
advertisers.
There's more. Tribune has
acquired the right to revive and
revamp the Mark Goodspn hits of
bygone decades: "The Match
Game," "Tattle-Tales,'1 maybe even
"Beat the Clock" Tartikoff is pitching "Big Deal," a younger and more
