So I was recently on Tipping Point, the jackpot counter was very close to the bottom. I got the last two questions wrong, declined the extra three counters and took home $3500. I'm just so disappointed with myself that I was so incredibly close to the jackpot, I'll never get an opportunity like that again.

I can't figure out how it works. How do they determine which of the two categories is being played? How do they determine which category the winner of the duel takes--their own or that of their opponent?

Edit Thanks for the responses. I think I now understand how it works. I missed the 1st season, so I'll have to go back and watch it. :-)

The fact that gameshow hosts hasn't been played yet on The Floor is pissing me off. The one category I'm good at, it won't get played until the end of the season. WTH.

They even included the Speedy Gonzales bit (given that WB refuses to use him anymore and how Buzzr tends not to run entire episodes of anything with "less than PC" content, that says more than you think).

Still can't forgive them for sacrificing the show itself in favor of "Who Wants To Put Clark Griswold To Shame" for the first half of November and on "Giving Tuesday".

For the record, all three contestants, including Jerry (the returning three-time champion) and Pam (the winner of that game) were indeed invited back in later episodes, albeit in Jerry's and Pam's cases without their prior winnings counted or mentioned. Also, technically both the producers and the contestants were correct; Daffy Duck did say "sufferin' succotash", but not as often as Sylvester ergo wouldn't be the first to come to mind.

Oh, and 🤬 you autocorrect for thinking I meant the word "buzzer" in the (uneditable) title when I meant the Buzzr (no "e") network.

As of November 2024, a total of twelve episodes of the game show Duel have been recovered out of the 16 that were recorded. The program, which aired between December 2007 and July 2008, had been considered lost with most of its episodes missing for the past seventeen years.

Episodes 101, 102, 103, 105, 106, 201, 203, 205, 206, 207, 209, and 210 have been recovered. The remaining four episodes left to be recovered are episodes 104, 202, 204, and 208, although small portions of both episodes 104 and 202 have existed; portions of episodes 106, 205, and 210 had also existed for years prior to the recovery of the episodes this year.

It would appear it's completely off the Buzzer schedule. The Barker Tribute is merely the usual "Match Game" block running episodes on which he appeared in addition to the usual TPIR block, plus one additional TPIR at 5 Eastern and giving "Match Game" the 7 and 7:30 Eastern timeslots back. No him and Dorothy Jo playing or him hosting "Tattletales" as was the case last year (probably worth noting that Buzzr didn't have TPIR at the time). Incidentally, that "all 'Price Is Right' on Bob's birthday" is just two additional episodes at 5 and 6 Eastern, not an all-day marathon as one may have been led to believe. And yes, Buzzr is still doing Betty White Christmas this year, but the commercials only seems to show her appearances on "Match Game" and (various incarnations of) "Password"- no her and Allen Ludden on "Tattletales".

Adding insult to injury: saw a promo for "holiday episodes of your favorite shows". And guess what's threatening to come back to the Buzzr schedule despite Fremantle having a more appropriate channel for it ("Places & Spaces" or something like that) and even being granted its own dedicated Pluto TV channel. 🙄 If the prize is the show paying your electric bills, well, there's a reason "Queen For a Day" generally isn't fondly remembered.

No, there's not "always YouTube", just until the video is removed because it or the uploader violated copyright. And not one of the other game show channels runs "Tattletales" (GSN used to, but that was two decades ago).

P.S.: I'm not a huge fan of "Tattletales", but given what I went through when (I thought) "Classic Concentration" had been removed, I can sympathize with those who are.

My Aunt was on an old episode of “three on a match” which ran from 1971-1974. Anyone know who/where I can contact to find her episode?

I watch this show everyday with my mother. Am I the only person that believes it's Howie making wise ass remarks to the contestants and not the banker. He is a comedian.

Hi all, I'm wondering how I can find details for the necklace Jane is wearing in Season 3, Ep. 18 (Veteran's Special)?

My wife made a comment while we were watching that she loved it and I really want to try buying it for her as a gift for the holidays. Been searching but can't seem to find info anywhere.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

TIA!!

A friend of mine was a contestant in that specific episode. Does anyone know when I could find it?

So for some reason, as of yesterday December 4th, Flip Side on GSN had changed their new episodes from being at 7pm eastern to 2 hours earlier at 5pm eastern. And I was thinking if it was because Switch and Split Second are now back on at 7 and 7:30pm eastern on GSN as of yesterday?

I loved it when new episodes of Flip Side was on at 7pm eastern. Why did they had to change it to 5pm eastern?

Any chance someone can help find this episode my coworker was on? 1999-Williams vs. Laforga. 40th taped episode (CO75.2) Thanks so much!

I watch a lot of game shows with my mother and I have to wonder, before filming begins, how many times contestants are reminded to clap. It's almost like a reflex. It's very rare that a contestent doesn't clap at every opportunity.

We have tickets this week for Jeopardy! at 10:00. It says no food or drink allowed in and expect 4-5 hours. Do they supply any food? Also can we leave early? We also have Jimmy Kimmel tickets that same day and are supposed to be there at 2:45.

I really enjoy Who Wants to Be A Millionaire, but there is one gripe I have with it - Fastest Finger First, which I don't think works in the current era.

In the old days with Chris Tarrant, the harshness of Fastest Finger First was ameliorated by the unusual way in which contestants were found for the show. In those days, there were no application forms or auditions - all you had to do was ring a number, answer a question correctly and you might be randomly selected to be on the show. And if you failed to get into the hot seat, you could always try again, and many people did appear on the show multiple times before finally managing to get into the main game.

These days, that doesn't happen anymore. The hotline number has been replaced by a more conventional application/audition process, and having gone through all that I feel it's unfair to get on a show and maybe not even get past the Fastest Finger First question - especially if you're unlucky enough to have a rollover contestant from a previous episode at the beginning of their game, meaning there's unlikely to be more than a couple of Fastest Finger First attempts (perhaps only one). To the best of my understanding, nowadays you cannot get back on the show a second time even if you fail to get into the hot seat (correct me if I'm wrong, I haven't seen every episode, but I don't recall ever seeing anyone more than once). They have made it slightly easier by reducing the number of people from ten to six, but I don't think that's enough.

The way I would resolve this is to do it like Impossible. Have far more potential contestants there, between 20 and 30, but have them present for an entire week's worth of shows so they'll all get plenty of chances to get into the hot seat. There'll still be many who fail, but it would feel a lot fairer.

Thoughts?

I just saw they announced this on their Facebook page. No other info. I've maybe seen it a few times. It depends on what time it's on and I might watch it or DVR it.

Those who were contestants on this short-lived, underrated game show…

What was it like for you? Any behind the scenes info you're willing to share? What was the late Chuck Woolery like when the cameras weren't rolling?

And one thing I've always been curious about concerning the show… When it came to the various Cash incentives/buyouts that Chuck would hand to the captains of the teams with regards to the higher level questions ($20,000 forgetting three out of the four answers to the $200,000 question correct , $50,000 for the $500,000 question and, alternatively during the "super greed" month, $100,000 for the $1 million question) as well as the $10,000 he would give anyone who agreed to challenge another member of their team in "the terminator" showdown, did they seriously use real cash?

I just find it so incredibly hard to believe that they kept piles and piles of real cash stashed in the studio somewhere.

Also, how did the terminator work exactly? Being blind, I have no idea what the on screen graphics showed whenever it was activated and of course, I don't know what happened in the studio. Would some kind of prop or lighting affect… I don't know… Spin around the stage and just randomly land on/point towards somebody?

Outside of "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire," this was easily the best show of the million dollar game show craze of that time, in my opinion.
