  • Never seen that show before, but that was before my time. There is a stereo system at 2:22 where they just won a crappy stereo system by Juliette including an AM/FM stereo, 8-track player and a BSR record changer which was all in one along with the speakers. Juliette made crappy stereo systems, thanks to "CassetteMaster" for his cassette recorder. Juliette was made by Topp Electronics. This stereo system can play Disney records.

  • I love the theme music when they are describing the prizes.

  • The bell sound effect was used in High Rollers, Family Feud, Tic Tac Dough (1978-1980), Card Sharks (winning bell alarm clock-style), and Bullseye and Celebrity Bullseye (1981-82).

  • Now that's one of the classic game show bouns round i have ever see on tv. and  not only that is the easiest bonus ronuds of all time

  • The GSN show "Catch 21" is a revival of "Gambit." It isn't called "Gambit" because it is assumed people would confuse the game show with a show/movie about the Marvel Comics X-Men character. Therefore, "Catch 21" is a better alternative name for the game show.

  • @lakebay972 No, that's not the reason. The game show "Gambit" was owned by Filmways when Heatter-Quiigley was sold to them. It then became the property of Orion when Filmways was taken over and now, like "Hollywood Squares," it it the property of the evil empire, Sony. "Catch 21" is not a remake of "Gambit," according to Merrill Heatter. Although there are similarities, if "Catch 21" actually were seen to be a remake, Sony could demand huge royalties or shut it down.

  • @lakebay972 "Catch 21" is mostly similar to the failed 1990 pilot of "Gambit," which (like the syndicated "High Rollers") was produced by Merrill Heatter in association with Orion. Through its acquisition of the Orion properties, Sony now owns Heatter-Quigley formats "The Hollywood Squares," "P.D.Q." (and its remake, "Baffle"), "Funny You Should Ask," "The Magnificent Marble Machine," "High Rollers," and "Gambit."

  • I recall this when I was four years old

  • Thanks for showing this. It's been a very long time since I've seen it. How sad that Heater and Quigley didn't have enough sense to save their shows.

  • Both comments about the buzzer sound are wrong. Nothing like from either game show.  Although, with permission by Goodson/Todman, they could've added the losing horns.

  • Yes Catch 21 is a revival of this show with some fairly minor rules changes. The thing is, it's a very good basic game.

  • Gotta love that synth music bed.

  • Does ne1 notice that this show it a lot like Catch 21 on GSN? I like this better tho

  • Yes; I'm sure a lot do.

  • Because Catch 21 is a revival of Gambit.

  • O...... but can't we replace Catch 21 with Gambit? lol

  • 0:11 XD

  • "the world bork enclyclepleadea" haha

  • Wink made a boo-boo, LOL

  • I heard: the 22 volume world blork encyclopeder

  • @gameshowfreak2007 Yes, Wink washed his mouth out and he can't do a thing with it.

  • Is that bust buzzer the same from Card Sharks in 1986?

  • I beleive that it was

  • I agree

  • it is. It's also the same buzzer later used on another CBS game show in "Child's Play" in 1982 as well.

  • @nextbarker I beleive it was
