I remember one show from the week this aired, beginning (before the show's opener) with Rod Roddy asking Todd Bridges some question, and Bridges replied, "Could be." Does anyone recall what that question was and what it was all about? Also, can anyone download an opening of Battlestars, with the celebrity intros?
Did WDIV Detroit air Battlestars, which was a ripoff of Hollywood Squares? Lucky Detroit, it would've taken out every Detroiter as many viewers get attacked by too much negative celebrity feedback of 1981. If GSN would've aired it would take out all of Detroit and lose the rights to Hollywood squares and never air Hollywood Squares ever again even Peter Marshall and Tom Bergeron's version and never will get a new run.
It wasn't no rip off hell Hollywood Squares only had 9 celebrities and Battlestars only had six both gameshows are different the instructions to the games are played differently I've seen that game since it first came out on NBC and I've seen how it goes!
Thanks for ruining my Christmas in 1981. The Richard Simmons part, the person who posted this should go on a crash diet from this game show. FYI How much does the entire set weigh (the triangles, the podiums, etc.)? If posting another Battlestars episode, post a positive episode with positive celebrity feedback when Ron Ely was featured in the celebrity triangles when Ron Ely and Alex Trebek switched roles.
How much does the set weigh excluding Christmas decorations. Speaking of Richard Simmons, MrMatchgame should go on a crash diet from that game show that ruined 1981. Every celebrity triangle has the Debbie Reynolds syndrome which gets every answer wrong.
I've seen an episode of Dream House which is the same time that the original Battlestars airs at 11:30 am from the finale on youtube from WSAZ do to its station ID and weather. RonaldTaylorJr, did WSAZ axed its midday news before April 1983 when the new Battlestars premiered?
Not from me, from what I recall WDIV in Detroit had Battlestars when 1982 came at 11:30am. I watched it at my grandma's house (Warren, Michigan) definitely when she babysat. She had a VCR and I never learned how to use one back then. I was too young.
Wat a minute! Thomas Crapper who invented the toilet? I thought it was John Crapper because of the toilet being called "The John."

This same situation also happened on Double Dare with Alex Trebek! LMAO!!!

This makes me think of Craig Tucker from South Park because this episode was a bad influence on me due to Nell's question about the toilet question.

No, I don't want to watch the ripoff show. GSN is never going to air it and it's not going to happen.

Borrowing a catch phrase from another show (Electric Company), Who's the dummy writing this show?
jeopardy60611 3 years ago
I believe the dummy you're referring to was Merill Heatter, the same guy who created "Hollywood Squares".

"Sir Thomas Crapper was the inventor of the flush toilet in 1878. What did Queen Victoria do when she heard of his invention?" ROFL!!!

This was the second game show hosted by Alex Trebek (that I know of) in which Thomas Crapper is referenced.

I never got to see the original Battlestars because WSAZ aired an hour of news at 11:30 a.m.
