This was a Peter Marshall show that replaced "Trivia Trap" in 1985 on ABC. Play is a combination of Wheel of Fortune and Hollywood Squares. The theme will stick in your head for ages though!
"(John Harlan introduces all four celebrities' names) All in the game that's just over their heads! (singing: "All-Star Blitz!") (scatting) ("All-Star Blitz!") (scatting) And here's the Master of the Blitz Board, Peter Marshall!"
Our ABC affiliate (WQAD) in the Quad Cities, IA/IL did not air most of ABC Daytime in the AM, in favor of crap talk shows and a lousy newscast. Added to the list, we never saw "Loving", "Trivia Trap", the first year of "The View", and most of "Ryan's Hope".
This is a great spin-off of "The Hollywood Squares", created by the same production team. Our ABC channel in Philadelphia did not air any of the episodes because of the local news, but thank god the USA network aired the show on September 1985. The show should come to GSN and possibly a ressurection for GSN.
Does anyone know where I can get a copy of the last show? Would anyone remember who was on that last show? I heard that the Blitz Bonanza was not won on that last show.

I have the finale myself, and there were two blitz bonanzas played on that episode. One was lost, another was won.

Apparently, you're right. Thicke did compose this theme.

Do you know if Thicke was still singing the theme? Check the Wikipedia article on him with the list of themes he composed.

I was just making a pun.

Nope, my sources tell me the theme was written by Score Productions.

It wasn't Goodson. It was Heatter.
