To make room, NBC moved "Days" to 1 ET, 12 CT/PT and "The Doctors" to 2 ET, 1 CT/PT.
NBC moved "Hollywood Squares" to 12:30 ET, 11:30 CT/PT, and "Password Plus" to 12 ET, 11 CT/PT.
The only victim was "Jeopardy!" NBC finally hoped it had a hit at 12 ET, 11 CT/PT where CBS's "Young and the Restless" was still popular while ABC's "Pyramid" began to show some weakness.
The moves caused some scheduling problems for some affiliates. Some chose to tape delay "Days" so that it could air news at 1 ET, 12 CT/PT and bumped "The Doctors" off the schedule, or aired it and "World" later. Some others moved the local news to 12:30 ET/11:30 CT/PT and pre-empted NBC's game show there. NBC not having a half hour slot open to local news in the noon or 1pm half hour slot and the expansion of "World" hastened the demise of the once popular "Doctors" soaper by the end of 1982.

CBS also added a new game show "Whew!" hosted by Tom Kennedy in the 10:30 ET, 9:30 CT/PT slot, followed by the five-minute CBS News.
CBS moved "The Price is Right" to the 11 ET, 10 CT/PT slot with the second half of the show taking over the half-hour once occupied by "Love of Life".
