Monopoly Game Show Open/Close

Yes, it was a game show on ABC during the Summer of 1990. Paired with "Super Jeopardy", created and executive produced by game show master Merv Griffin, the show took 3 players around the Monopoly board answering crossword style clues. After all the properties were sold, players bought houses and advanced around the board earning money.

The show was initially for syndication, but when not enough stations purchased it was taken by ABC to fill the Summer 1990 schedule. 12 episodes aired with 13 episodes taped. The theme song is pretty catchy!

@jwgreek8606 That true and they were planning of doing a Monopoly game show version but I do like the way they do it.

[jwgreek8606]

@AngeLBarraganJR Actually I see it as a companion to Family Game Night.

[RCPlanes59]

This would've worked fine as a syndicated game show.

[AngeLBarraganJR]

@jwgreek its true that was the original plan theyre probably waiting for Family Game Night to end thier season and I like your idea of Kennedy hosting Monopoly.

@AngeLBarraganJR is that True? I had the idea for a Monopoly game show with Kennedy as host and a CGI-animated version of Uncle Pennybags
