Re: [TV orNotTV] NBC wants to bring back some classic game shows

2021-04-11 Thread daniel anderson 
I remember watching the 1990 version with Patrick Wayne, since it aired on 
the NBC affiliate out of Greenville SC.

But i have seen Wink Martindale host it too, from reruns on GSN. 
Martindale, by far was the better host...

The Joker's Wild was on the CBS affiliate in 1990, hosted by Pat Finn, but 
for the same reasons, Jack Barry was the better host

Re: [TV orNotTV] NBC wants to bring back some classic game shows

2021-04-11 Thread Mark Jeffries 
NBC has always owned "Concentration."  It was licensed in 1973 (under
orders from daytime programming chief Lin Bolen to get producer Norm
Blumenthal fired for not following her mandates) to Victory Television, who
then hired G-T to produce.  The license eventually ran out and Fremantle's
BUZZR is paying NBCU for the two versions they run daily.  Some of the
first episodes of "Classic Concentration" (Trebek) had the Fremantle vanity
card added at the end, but the 70s version has no added vanity card--not
even NBCU.

I do like "Tic Tac Dough," but I realize that might just be childhood 
nostalgia. "Tic Tac Dough" and "The Joker's Wild" were the primary trivia-based 
game shows in the late '70s/early '80s, until "Jeopardy!" came along in 1984.

I didn't realize NBC held the format rights to "Tic Tac Dough," but I assume 
that goes way back to its origins as one of NBC's prime-time big-money quiz 
shows in the 1950s.

Every few years, game shows seem to cycle back in the rotation

I was around for the ‘90s comebacks, and got to know most of the producers
from the ‘70s and ‘80s who had gone on to become real estate agents and
accountants, but promptly quit those jobs because their passion for the
genre was greater than job stability
