  • ABC should've done five things:

    1. Brought "Split Second" back

    2. Premiered it on January 6, 1986

    3. Find a new host (maybe Tom Kennedy or Jim Peck or--well, whatever)

    4. Made the set like the Canadian version but bigger

    and

    4. Used the Bonus Round w/ 5 cars and a key to start one of 'em.

  • I like the Tom Kennedy version better.

  • I want to see Split Second on GSN.

  • What company of this version does "Split Second" own the rights to?

  • @PTH4Fun Currently, according to Wikipedia, the company who owns the syndication rights is CBS Television Distribution, but originally, this version was syndicated by Viacom. Or as Sandy Hoyt pronounced in the closing credits: VEE-a-com.

  • @PTH4Fun Hatos-Hall Productions currently holds the rights to this version of Split Second, as per Wikipedia.

  • Is that a contestant named Gaye on the pilot @ 0:26?

  • I believe so! I recognize the shoes from her episodes of Split Second and if you pause it at 0:26, you can see her face and recognize her glasses. Gaye was a great champion...too bad she lost her 5th game.

  • There's also an audio clip from the car bonus round that was once posted here on YouTube. Now it's posted on Google Video.

  • The clips starting at 0:24 and 0:26 must be from an unaired pilot. How I'd love to get my hands on that.

  • They're from the first months of the show prior to switching to the blue backgrounds. The pilot and the first week had the same car background, but instead of the $1000, had the word "showcase" which was the equivalent of the vacation or fur offered later on.

  • The clips shown here are of the Dianne/Robert/Shelley episode, which mtiller2006 posted in its entirety.

  • Yes, with its crappy bumpers and all that.
