We die-hard game show fans have always thought there weren't any episodes of the Cross-Wits from this era in existance anymore. One of the few 70s Cross-Wits that does exist is an edition from 74 or 75 that's made the rounds of the game show tape trading circuit, and that one is in pretty terrible quality after having been dubbed from tape to tape time and time again. It's certainly a find for *us*!

0:21- isn't it strange how the credits are first?

Interesting poem that Nipsey gave at the beginning. It was almost similar to the one he gave during Game Show Week Part 2 on Hollywood Squares some years later.

I was also a contestant on this show in 1979. We set three records that day -- most puzzles played in a single episode (5), highest number of total points scored between the two contestants -- and I set the third record -- most points scored by a LOSING contestant. The producers told me that had it been any other day, I would have won as they had NEVER had a losing contestant score over 1,000 points. (Sigh!). However, I never was able to obtain a copy of the episode & home VCRS were rare.

@MrLogoman007 VERY!

@Dougerz Well, the syndie version of "Deal or No Deal" lists the exec producer and the director at the beginning of the show.

@AarHan3 When my folks and I moved to Louisiana in the late 70s, I remember that KATC, Channel 3 in Lafayette, aired it at the same time slot.

@wdm1219 If I can recall, "Cross-Wits" was the lead-in to the "Merv Griffin Show" on Channel 5.

I like this version of the Cross Wits theme better.

That is unusual, @MrLogoman007
Seems pretty good. Gotta ask you Mark, do you think you could be interviewed for a game show site about your appearance on the Cross-wits?
