I The Miami Wednesday March 23 1983 TO-Badio 7B" convention is schlock full of new shows Sasdia EsrZcy on an expense-paid date with her All he and his date had to do was return to the show and talk with host Chuck Woolery date Susan refused told our staff she never wanted to see or be in the same room with Vinny Woolery said Finally a series that manages to make nudity tedious This game show is based on strip poker If you are too slow in answering a series of rapid-fire questions you and your teammate have to take off two pieces of clothing Too bad the 30-minute game fun or even funny Neither are the contestants who turn modestly away from the camera and fumble with buttons The program is designed for the more permissive cable-television market but the distributor Is offering the show free to the first brave over-the-air broadcaster who will show it Pray for cowardice duces horror movies Elvira played by Cassandra Peterson currently airs on KHJ in Los Angeles Said a preppie-looking mother rushing up to Elvira during a guest appearance here kids just love Pop Rocker Kids are also supposed to love this billed as game in A group of impossibly clean youths are invited to your rock by identifying the picture of a star and naming his band The reward is money prizes and a stage full of rock musicians playing madly If is supposed to help people find dates shows what happens when they do And folks a snake pit out there Take Vinny for example a 37-year-old twice-divorced dress manufacturer with all the class of a plunger He came on the show chose among three pretty women then went out LAS VEGAS Would you watch a television show featuring a video classifed section and advertisers such as in a magicianescape artist looking for a date or Dana who designs lingerie? How about a game show based on dieting (True or false: Having sex uses a lot of calories False)? Or one on finding a job? the first opening is for a cheerleader with the Los Angeles Express football team The shows Great Weight Loss etc are all for real And they are all here at a convention for

with guests experts and average folks if the show goes into production It has not yet been bought in South Florida But for every Thicke or Shaw an Elvira and her or Pop Rocker In fact those are two of four good candidates for an Award: Elvira may actually show up in South Florida since she has been purchased by WDZL-Ch 39 Elivra has a stringy black wig a Morticia-type dress and large breasts She takes calls from The Breather and intro- program manager at WCKT-Ch 7 the conversations are did you see that This year there's not any of In fact this could be a convention of clones Among the new
