NBC's 'Knockout' with Arte Johnson, "The Big Beat" (( Stereo ))

This video collage that I made is from the short-lived game show, "Knockout" that aired on NBC from October 3, 1977 to April 21, 1978.

The host was Arte Johnson ("Wolfgang" and "Tyrone F. Horneigh" on Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In; the voice of "Misterjaw")

The theme song is called "The Big Beat" by Hal Hidey. This is the stereo version.

Two of the last three pictures are from Laugh-In.

All episodes do exist (Thank you secondchance1977). It was originally rumored that the entire series was supposedly erased.

The answers to the puzzles were COlumbus(Missouri doesn't belong), people from Denmark(Borgia doesn't belong), and things that are Chewed.

I'd totally forgotten what the theme song to this show sounded like, and then when I heard it, I could swear it sounded like something Hal Hidey of Barry & Enright fame would have created and arranged, and then lo and behold, I see in your description that that was indeed the case.

I really liked this show 30 years ago. I remember I scheduled my spring semester one year around it. I'd love to see a video

So Knockout's theme best resembles I Dream Of Jeanie. NOT The Price Is Right.

I wonder if anybody will post a video of Knockout.
