* ScrewedByTheNetwork: Aside from its third-place ranking, then-NBC daytime programming chief Lin Bolen was trying to rid the network's schedule of games hosted by middle-aged men on technologically-obsolete sets, as part of an aggressive attempt to bolster ratings among women aged 18-34 (she had already done this in March 1973 with ''Series/{{Concentration}}''). At the beginning of July 1974, ''Series/ThreeOnAMatch'' was replaced by ''Series/WinningStreak'' (with the same producer, host, and announcer) in a timeslot swap with ''Series/{{Jeopardy}}'' Neither game made it past January 3, 1975.
