[bpot22]

I think this was planned to replace Joker's Wild, but was passed over for Spinoffs, which by the way, does exist.

[secondchance1977]

This was suppose to replace the Jokers Wild. JB-DE were so sure this was to sell they made a week of episodes, but then the producers of Spin-Offs made a deal with CBS to "post pone" WGYN. Spinoffs lasted 13 weeks, and by then CBS had took the weeks worth of tapes and erased 4 of them for another show. They needed a show pronto, and JB-DE tried to make more episodes, but Bill Cauruthers already had tapes to go air. By then, CBS watched the pilot, and told Berry "We'll think about it"

[secondchance1977]

Jack Barry was so sure this show would sell he already made a weeks worth for CBS. But at a last minute deal, CBS decided to give another company a 13 week shot at Spinoffs. Barry reminded CBS of his show, but they gave Carruthers a shot at a show for 13 weeks. After 26 weeks of its original premire, CBS found a show they were willing to keep, and told Jack Barry they will air more when you make more. But, CBS took 4 of the tapes to make shows, so Jack Barry, in the end decided not to bother CBS

[secondchance1977]

The 1 tape they didnt erase is the "premire" episode in their vaults.

[Hondo20132]

I read on Wikipedia that it was found at the same time as the Joker's Wild 1972.

[secondchance1977]

The tape of the "premire" was found just recently, not in 2000. I hope CBS gives it to GSN to air.

I must say I really like the theme music, except for that little part when Jacobs announces the name of the program. Ahead of its time.

I have to look and see if I can find the rules on this game- this looks great!

[deric8]

I can't believe this was 1975. The set style and motifs looked like something 5 to 6 years later.

[blank77]

What year was this?Looks like a cool game.

[musicom67]

1975 says the copyright on the end credits

[blank77]

Oh,I see it.Too bad this game wasn't to be.But at the same time,we would have the 2nd coming of the Joker's Wild two years later.

[DerrickLee2006]

I have this pilot and it looks pretty cool.

[BlackwoodCompany]

Please post it. We would like to see it if you please.

[WileyCoyote69]

Geez. It has Jack Barry. What more did they need?

[tvtimetravel]

Also, Johhny Jacobs who was the first announcer on "The Joker's Wild" as well as the Chuck Barris game shows until his death from cancer in 1982. He and Jack Barry were very good friends.
