Since the cancellation of "Password Plus", which had aired in the noon hour for most of its run, in 1982, NBC had tried three different first-run programs in the noon slot. The first was their longtime serial "The Doctors", which had seen a massive ratings collapse that would eventually result in its cancellation at the end of 1982. NBC then tried two game shows in the slot; the first, "Just Men!", premiered on January 3, 1983 but was cancelled after thirteen weeks, and the second, "The New Battlestars", launched on April 4 and met the exact same fate. "Go" managed a total of sixteen weeks before it too was cancelled.
