August 1st, 1980-October 10th, 1980

This ill-conceived series, billed as "the Time Magazine Of The Airwaves," was little more than a pastiche of audience and person-on-the-street reactions to various topical questions. Former child evangelist Marjoe Gortner was the principal host of the show, assisted by Jayne Kennedy and by stentorian Rhonda Bates. Blasted by the critics, detested by the network's top executives, and ignored by the public, the program was abruptly cancelled after two months. It ranked second to last in the 1980-1981 seasonal ratings.
