I should have also added "Eye Guess," since the phrase combinations on the imitation "Three on a Match" board could be just as hilarious as some of the question/answer combinations that popped up on "Eye Guess"
A combination of two Bill Cullen-hosted New York-based Bob Stewart games: ABC's "Blankety Blanks" and NBC's "Three on a Match." Stewart should have just tried a revival of one and/or the other rather than combine them, especially since there was still enough of an audience generation who still remembered them. Each was a terrific game by itself.
I didn't know Kevin got another game show gig, even if it didn't make it past the pilot. Too bad CBS passed on this, they would've loved to have had him hosting a show on their lineup.
IMHO, the front game ran a bit long. They should've had each question have a base amount of 30 points instead of 20 to speed things up. Cool end game, though.
I find that when I recognize a contestant as a big winner from another game show, I don't root for him/her as much; like I recognize a hustler or something.
@zachhoran they only allow 150 points at the bonus board...no more...

@studleyj This is true, but the formats were still good nonetheless.

More of the same from Bob Stewart. Just didn't have any creative juice left by this point...

This pilot uses the font from Pyramid game shows.

Bonus round looks like a reworked "Three on a Match"
