Strike It Rich

[thegameshowguy]

The pilot for this show was called "Arch Rivals" (get it... they walk across arches) but I believe K&F changed it to capitalize on a known name- even though the 50's "Strike It Rich" was not a game show., A fun little game that replaced "Press Your Luck" in NYC when CBS returned that slot to the local affiliates. By Jan 1987, it was airing at 2:07AM. in NYC.

Personally, Arch Rivals was a better name. You weren't getting rich on this game, that's for sure. Top prize,if I recall was a model car.

Joe Garagiola played for 4 Major League Baseball teams: Cardinals, Pirates, Cubs and Giants.

Oh man! I haven't seen this show in 23 years. And Joe is the Arizona Diamondbacks radio announcer for baseball games. He's an amazing host/announcer.

No, it was produced by Kline and Friends (founded by former B&E director Richard S. Kline).

If someone could find a clip of the game show "Triple Threat", that would be the best!

I knew they were going to take this show "off the air" but, I don't know why. My sister thought because nobody watched this show. My sister was glad that they took this show "Strike it Rich" off the air. I knew it may have a poor rating on it.

i agree

I wish they put a whole episode of "Strike It Rich" on YouTube. It was nice seeing the beginning of the show but, I like to see the whole show of "Strike it Rich" on YouTube where they win the prizes and even do the "bonus round".

I believe the sound effect for revealing the answers on the board was the same one used to reveal the categories at the beginning of the game on "Tic Tac Dough".

At the time, Joe was also doing NBC baseball with Vin Scully (1983-89).
