I dont like the scoring format it makes the first 3 rounds pointless, If I were to revive it: 4 words: $500, 3 words: $1,000, 2 words: $2,000 1 word: $5,000, if you failed at a level you could try again with the next celebrity but you stayed at that level.
Some of the sound effects used were from the following: the bell from "Wheel of Fortune", the buzzer from "The Gong Show", and the beep from "Scrabble"...all from NBC.
The exact broadcast date of this show was February 23, 1978 (the end credits have a voiceover promoting the debut of "Quark" the next night). This is the only episode other than the premiere of the show from October 3, 1977 that's in the game show trading circuit (a third episode from March 17, 1978 can be seen at the Museum of TV/Radio in NY).
Even though im a big game show fan, I can't understand this show. It seems strange and makes no sense. But believe me Tom Kennedy was a great game show host. A true television legend. His best game shows were "Password Plus", "The Nighttime Price Is Right", and "Wordplay".
How stupid... it seems fake; stupid show idea; and he took out Assistant for some stupid reason.... I hate it, no wonder it failed. I think the general public is less stupid these days.
*swiftly dismembers fuurious for saying the above stupid statement*
It doesn't matter if it's old or not, you retarded deodorant licker! If it's good, it's good no matter when it's from. Man, I REALLY HATE it when people say that something's old like it's a bad thing.

it is a bit arbitrary. what possible one word would you keep to guess "deputy"? it's more match game than anything.
