This is the only episode known to exist aside from the pilot.

I wonder if anyone has ever won the $10,000 on the first roll?

[devares2006]

@coleyd One actually did, in fact on the 100th episode.

@devares2006 Now that's a way to cap off the 100th show! It would be great to see that!

[canbac21]

Now this is a show that should be revived! A perfect mix of strategy and luck!

[mrceleb2006]

Sure, you people would applaud a lynchin'! We had one fast course of amazing grace!

@MattTheSaiyan Those number-flipping things might have been called Signaltrons.

@canbac21 High Rollers was the closest revival.

Annoucer Dan Daniel was better known to New York audiences during the 1960s as "Dandy Dan" Daniel, of the legendary "Good Guys" of WMCA-AM 570 during its rock music era. He later moved on to country music stations WHN-AM (now RadioDisney),WYNY-FM and finally, WCBS-FM. Always a class act, this was his only game show announcing gig and he had a tremndous audience warm-up. "The Big Showdown" was taped at ABC Studio TV-15 (Elysee Theater) on W. 58th Street, also home of "The 20,000 Pyramid."

The mechanical number flipping things (no, I don't know what they are actually called) are really cool, love seeing them in episodes of old game shows. They should make a comeback. Now.

[devares2006]

@coleyd It would be. Too bad they erased it. One would think that they would save it.

Is this where the lady came up with the slogan "i've fallen, & I can't get up!"
