21 (1982 Pilot), pt. 1

[tpir1972]

I think the reason this didnt' sell his was taped at CBS and they had a $25,000 limit imposed at the time

[MegastarLV]

Two facts:

1. This was taped in Studio 33 at CBS Television City.

2. The intro theme was a portion of "Don't Let It Show" by the Alan Parson's Project.

Was Jim doing Bullseye still while this pilot was shot?

[Shinyminidragon]

Changing the top point question from 11 to 9 hurts the game; it's no longer possible to reach 21 in just two rounds.

[Hondo20132]

This is one of the best unsold pilots I've seen, truth be told.

[nextbarker]

Bullseye was cancelled after this pilot was shot, right?

[nextbarker]

Was this the last appearance of Jim Lange without his glasses?

[thewhammy83]

Personally, I only seen him without them on The Dating Game, Oh, My Word, and this pilot. I never seen him without them. Also, this is the only time I seen him without his glasses after he stared wearing them. So it could be.

The song at the beginning was "Rock & Roll Dreams Come True" by Meat Loaf.

@allnewtpir Actually, that was the Jim Steinman version.
