Comment from : @cutemimi25

That buzzer sounds, was from "Family Feud" Those two ABC game shows, had the same buzzer

Wizard?

While it failed in the US to sell, at least it was more successful in the UK as the show "Going For Gold" why is it game shows in the US like Blockbusters, Every Second Counts, Catch Phrase, etc have more success in the UK than in North America?

Hello, all I'm Steve DeSanctis, the "champion" in this pilot Thanks so much for posting this! How fun to see it up here, as (to my knowledge) it was never broadcast We taped it at the ABC studios in Hollywood, and it was a single episode; it was made to appear I'd "won" on several "previous" shows, (although we did run through several takes) We were paid as actors; a group of 12 of us who'd worked with Reg Grundy Productions to develop the show were chosen as potential "contestants," and the group you see on the tape did two takes in full format It was a lot of fun - and very competitive - and a real hoot to see myself 31 years younger!

Really too bad this wasn't picked up in the USA, because it's a neat little show Wonder if, with the resurgence of game shows, they'll try again

This pilot was actually taped in England It talks about it on a site discussing several pilots

Interestingly now, on that 'Presidents' question, I believe there is another one who has his name on the Walk of Fame

I guess this is what bill did before blockbusters

The pilot was better than Bargain Hunters

Comment from : @greenfingersgardener822

Following Bill Rafferty's player introduction, this is at least the fourth episode, not the pilotbrbrI didn't know he had passed away I always liked his hosting style

Comment from : @AeroZeppelin33

This game show lacks gimmicks I'm sure some people will like that, but it's not my style One of the things I always liked about Bill Rafferty (RIP) was that when he came to Los Angeles he didn't try to lose his New York accent He did the best he could to make this dull format exciting
Comment from : @drewconway7135

It actually is a shame this didn't get picked up in America, but I can understand why though The 80's game show market was just as saturated as the 70's was At least this format didn't go to waste as Reg took it to the UK and used it as the format Going for Gold, which if anybody has seen on YouTube, is a long-lasting show, that I think Channel 5 brought back briefly
