This was the last NBC episode. It returned for a brief syndicated run with brand new "galloping"-style theme music, and some NBC stations aired it in their local afternoon time slot (usually 1:00pm) but it didn't last and it died in September of 1977.

@hizikatamayozuki He said "Canada has seen in Koizumi quiz, the quiz was born in Derby and it inspired."

I take it that this was the last taped show, with all syndicated shows made before this one.

Always loved the opening for this one. Thanks!

A funny thing. Earlier today I visited Beverly Hills branch of The Paley Center for Media (formerly The Museum of TV and Radio), and watched two of the three episodes of "Celebrity Sweepstakes" they had on file, and one of the questions on one show was similar to the first one on this show((!!!).

That clicking noise at 2:37 has been on my mind since '75, and I just turned 40 a week ago. This is one of the very first game shows I ever watched, along with The Price is Right, $10,000 Pyramid, Joker's Wild, Password, blah blah blah... I haven't seen this show since '76.
Thank you for this post!

@kidfrombrooklyn66 It deserved a revival.

@Hondo20132 He was saying it reminded him of a quiz show he saw in Canada.

@usa02 Yeah they canceled "Fun Factory", but they kept the show that followed it on the NBC schedule. A piece of garbage called "The Gong Show"! Remember That?!
