Broadcast History
Hit Man ran at 11:30 AM EST following Wheel Of Fortune on NBC with CBS's ten-year-old The Price Is Right and ABC's The Love Boat repeats as its main competition. However, Price was taking America and daytime television by storm. Hit Man left the airwaves after 13 weeks and was replaced by the Bob Eubanks-hosted Dream House. Just Men!, which aired right after Hit Man, got cancelled that same day while Wheel and Sale of the Century would stay on NBC's schedule until 1989. Peter Tomarken would gain greater fame five months later with what would be his best known game show, Press Your Luck which ran for three years. Rod Roddy would earn greater fame in 1986, when he became Johnny Olson's permanent replacement as announcer on The Price is Right.
