Battlestars Game Show

Another clip from the early 80s game show, hosted by Alex Trebek. Celebrities were given a choice of answers (not seen by the contestants), and it didn't always work out.

I would like to see this on GSN.

I'd love to see this game on GSN as well, but I don't think that Battlestars lasted long enough on the air for GSN to run it.

Orion picked up the Heatter-Quigley formats. Heatter and Quigley broke up in 1981. Heatter couldn't revive Squares himself, but he could use portions of Squares' format which he did with this show and later All-Star Blitz(agree-disagree format)

Does anybody have a full episode?

[Jnelson09Returns]

By their own company, in fact.

Battlestars was a heel & a hero @ the same time. The 1981 edition knocked off Card Sharks (heel) & the 1983 version "melted" Just Men! (hero).

This show was another take off on the format of Hollywood Squares, wasn't it?

A harsh day for Debbie Reynolds! She's pretty charismatic though. Haha, and Alex with a bush 'stache and fro; good times! Thanks for posting.
