  • Who were those 2 children holding the cue cards?

  • "Scrabble" and "Scattergories" were only temporary fill-ins until John Tesh and Leeza Gibbons were available to do their talk show, "John and Leeza", which I wasn't a big fan of.

    Frankly, I'd have put "John and Leeza" in syndication instead of just airing it on NBC and brought "Scrabble" and "Scattergories" back for another season and would've made some changes that they couldn't have had since they got hurried to get on the air.

  • Let's also consider in most markets, these shows were up against Price. Gee, I wonder where the game show fans went....... OK, so I picked Scrabble. But everyone else.....

  • You're party right. This and "Scattergories" were temporary fill-ins until John Tesh and Leeza Gibbons were available to do their talk show, "John and Leeza", which I wasn't a big fan of.

  • Actually auburn4wins, the reason "Scrabble" '93 didn't last was because of the decline in daytime viewership. NBC eventually exited the daytime game show business in 1994 and today, the only NBC daytime show besides "Today" is "Days of Our Lives". NBC plans to cancel the latter next year. CBS is cancelling Guiding Light this year and is thinking about bringing back "The $25,000 Pyramid." Maybe game shows are making a come back. We can only hope.

  • That's why I said almost.

    And BTW, sure Eubank's Card Sharks didn't have a happy ending, but Rafferty's did.

  • Not on the last Classic Concentration episode. The 2nd bonus round didn't have a win. And the same goes for the following:

    Blockbusters '87

    Card Sharks '86-'89 (CBS car game)

    Hit Man

  • And the use of the shrill sirens with the $1500 win didn't make it any more exciting. (It cheapened the sound effect too.)

  • It's a sure bet that the changed format to the bonus round in the 1993 revival of Scrabble contributed to its quick demise. It made no sense to drop the traditional $5,000 jackpot and make the colored bonus squares in the main game add to a jackpot that started at only $1000 (which is dismally cheap to start with). That makes me think of "Small Talk", hosted by Wil Shriner. The most you could win on that show was $1500! ($500 in the main game, $1000 in the bonus round!) Lame!
