I like this show!

lol @ Kurt: "I would have cleaned up on Burundi"

@tpir1972 Not only that, despite the fact that it had already been cancelled for a couple of years at the time, the sprint round was taken from Sale of the Century. However, this was kind of an update of The Who, What, or Where Game, which ran on NBC from 1969-1974, and hosted by Art James. Ron Greenberg Productions was involved with both versions.

I think this was cancelled cause it looks like Jeopardy! a lot with the exception of the SPRINT ROUND.

Go to your room, judge.

I knew this was a hard quiz. I just didn't think it was that hard!

@Dodgerfn5 Not top mention you'd know the show was taped no more than a week earlier.

I love how they would tell the exact date of the show so you know right when it aired.

I love the current events approach this show took. It was rare for a game show to do this, and I'd love for another current events type game show, whether it be a revival of this or a whole new show, show up on TV today.

I made a board like that and since 2009, every April Fool's Day, I show it to many teachers and students at school and they love it. Hard to believe today is exactly 20 years since this prank happened.

@VmKid - They all were...you wouldn't expect to see such extremely difficult categories, right?

That is Don Morrow announcing "The Challengers".
