Merv Griffin's Crosswords: Bonus Game

[jackalexander102]

"Olio - L-O-I-O" ......WRONG

[gshowguy]

I thought the show was OK-- I have a few episodes taped off of KNTV from the first season.

[damien1978able]

What an awful game show this was. It might have done well back in the 1960s, but for the 21st century, everything about it was just wrong.

HBO Feature Presentation (1982-1997) "HBO in Space, HBO Starship"

[foodjunkie89]

WOW is all I can say right now...

[Herbster98]

holy mother of crap

[dudesons3]

OMG...

[mrhorgan]

WOW, talk about just getting that last clue under the wire...

[devares2006]

Thank God this show got renewed. This is one of the best game shows on television. What they need to do next season is dump the spoilers and go with the one they've originally going to go with, 3 contestants and eliminate one after round 2, also, add $1000 for every day the crossword isn't completed, and....I can't stress this enough.....RETURNING CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!

[okiesteveus81]

I agree with you.

[therealnick103]

In my opinion, it's not as fun without the spoilers.

[therealnick103]

I guess they didn't want returning champions since almost every other game show does that.

Plus... it would be boring if there was a Crosswords version of Ken Jennings.

[roughryder5]

this guys luckyy!!! i think he guessed the last one :D

[Disneydanny]

yeah in all games shows as long as you get your answer in on or before the buzzer it counts.

[okiesteveus81]

good news, 2nd season of 'Crosswords' for the 2008 - 2009 season.

[huggyface]

Will Ty Treadway still host, do you know? I like him on this show.

[okiesteveus81]

I'd say sure.

[PTH4Fun]

Will there be any rule changes yet?

[PTH4Fun]

Answers! Gimmee Answers plase!

[eljefereal]

He looks smarmy to me. Can't really describe it, but I don't like the guy.

[okiesteveus81]

yes, he will be back.

[pjbolas]

What does SSGTS stand for?

[sagnella]

He actually didn't do it in time. I've slowed this video down and whne the clock hit 0:00, he only had said "RAI", I guess they needed a winner on that show!

[nlyons162]

If I'm not mistaken, the rule states that you have to start your answer before time starts. Either way, the producers gave me the win, so the S&P people must've thought that I got it! :)

[huggyface]

Congrats; I was scared you'd lose!

[lemondoughnut]

You were great!

[comnsense1001]

Good show, good host well done BUT . . .

The prize money on this show is too low.

People very rarely win the bonus game.

[okiesteveus81]

yes, I agree the prize money is too low.

[WhatsAYak]

Luckily, they upped it to $5K in the recent format overhaul, although the cost was the dumping of the Crosswords Getaway clues in rounds 1 and 2...they were replaced by additional Crosswords Extras.

[huggyface]

Actually, I'm glad they dumped the Crossword getaways in favor of upping the bonus at the end round. Besides didn't they offer too damn many trips to Palm Springs anyway?

[nlyons162]

That's me! :)

[mrmatchgame]

Can I have a few bucks ;)

[ASLBear]

Hey, were you on that Gold Rush net show thing a while back?

[nlyons162]

Yep!

[collegeslammer]

I love this program.

[okiesteveus81]

same here. a cross of 'wheel of fortune' and 'jeopardy'.

[zeldafanii]

I think it's called Buzzword (used on Wheel of Fortune as prize music)

[bluebear1985]

If only Mr. Griffin were alive to see this.

[mrmatchgame]

Its weird that a TV Game Show Theme is used now as a Car Cue Theme

[zymaymyn]

Kinda weird that the show's theme was a bonus round car cue for "Wheel of Fortune" in the late 80s.
