TV Shopping meets Bingo, after the success of Home Shopping Club

from Are We On The Air?© · host Shawn Wilsie

In the 1980s, television experienced a renewed interest in "Bingo" because of the direct-response connections.  Once Home Shopping Club (later known as HSN) took off, it was almost inevitable that someone merged the two ideas together, in this pre-QVC world.  For three months in late 1986, "Money Mania" was broadcast into 40 million homes.  What went wrong with an idea which looked amazing on paper?  That's our focus on this episode.
