As Blockbusters was never networked it's probable the globe only ever appeared when Central were feeding it around the network for local playout and thus it was seen on the original transmissions.
I think the frontcaps were only on stuff that was networked, though I'm probably wrong on that.
When Central did the whole "Central Presents..." followed by an ATV frontcap, that was done live, though it eventually only appeared on the schools programming once all the mainstream stuff ATV had made prior to 1982 had gone out.
Can't remember if Family Fortunes was networked before Les Dennis.
