On this date, in the 11 ET, 10 CT/PT slot, ABC replaces "Trivia Trap" with "All Star Blitz" that would last just two months. It, like the program that it replaced, suffered from low ratings due to heavy competition from CBS and NBC. The nine-year-old game show "Family Feud" also suffered so much in ratings that it was canceled in late spring. ABC would move "Blitz" to "Feud"'s time slot in June.
