April 12, 1976 - July 23, 1976 (76 first run episodes) September 18, 1976 - February 26, 1977 (19 first run episodes) (Re-runs beginning in February 29, 1977 to September 11, 1977) Break the Bank had two separate runs on American television. The first was as a daily series that aired from April 12 to July 23, 1976, on ABC, airing at 2:30 p.m. Eastern/1:30 Central. Although the series was popular, the network canceled it in order to expand the soap operas One Life to Live and General Hospital, both of which followed it on the daytime schedule, from 30 minutes to 45 minutes. The show quickly returned as a weekly syndicated game from September 18, 1976, to September 11, 1977. The ABC daytime series had 76 episodes, including the 3/23 and 5/20 pilots. The syndicated series had 24 episodes with 5 of them being rerun. The last episode for the entire series was on February 26, 1977, with reruns airing until September 11th of that year. In 1994, GSN added Break the Bank to their lineup. This continued until 1997, and since then, no episodes from the series have been broadcast on television again. Currently, 17 episodes from the original Tom Kennedy series and 3 episodes from the syndicated Jack Barry series have been uploaded and steam on YouTube. NOTE: Complete with commercials.

#18475: SPEAK UP AMERICA
Order1980-08-01, NBC, min.
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. Series debut.
