The theme song heard here is an amazing one to say the least. It conveys a fun atmosphere where contestants are playing an unpredictable game. As exciting as its successor show's theme was, this theme was good in it self. It's based on the catchyness & the fact we keep it in our heads for the hours to come. It's a 5 star theme by the way because of the fact that it fits in with everthing; the set, game, & atmosphere. It could have ben a successful show but it wasant; proven false years later.
So I bet the Second Chance theme in this video is not remixed or anything cause the site had the show opening audio and we can hear the exact same theme.
It's a disappointment that not only did the show last for only 13 weeks, but the third pilot is the only known existing episode. :(
And from that pilot episode, it seemed like a good show too. What a shame. :(

@retroguy1976 That's because Second Chance was created by Bill Carruthers, who would go on to create Press Your Luck.

I'll take a second chance so I don't press my luck. Even for a game show theme, its a bit short, but still pretty groovy.

This to me can make a perfect Sonic BGM. In fact, this has the 16 bit groove going.

I blame the penny pinchers at ABC.
$20,000 limit! I can get more money from the government!

Because they did not want to spend the money to buy tapes and storage space so they erased the tapes.

Does anybody notice that the theme on here sounds a little faster than on the pilot episode.

This is a great theme, thank you so much for uploading it.

SecondChance looked pretty much the same as Press Your Luck. Just 70s. HAHA

I dig that theme song! I also like the bass lines as well. Sounds like a Fender Precision Bass, but I could be wrong.

Look on Adam's website, and you'll find an audio opening thanks to Ernie Anderson's game show theme collection!
