- Sorry about the quiet audio.
Here is an episode of the syndicated Treasure Hunt from 1973. This run, just like many other 70s syndication runs, is missing quite a few episodes.
Muriel and Eva are the first two contestants. Will someone find the $25,000? Will someone get fabulous prizes? Or just get klunked? Find out with Geoff Edwards! - บันเทิง
Have nothing but fond memories of watching this game show as a child. Geoff Edwards was very underrated when it comes to game show hosts. He was a perfect fit.
This show needs a comeback!
Put a Million dollar check out there
The New Treasure Hunt is the predecessor of NBC's Deal or No Deal.
It is also somewhat similar to Let’s make a deal
I loved this show as a kid. He made the show and all the pretty boxes.
Thanks for sharing this. I used to watch this show everyday in the 1980s. I saw the CBN logo pop up on screen for a second, so that must've been the channel. They used to rerun a lot of old shows I liked back in the day. I wish one of the game show channels like Buzzer would air the Chuck Barris library of shows again.
Buzzr does not have the right to air shows like this because Chuck Barris shows are owned by Sony even though Buzzr does air the 1990s version of Newlywed Game
BETTER THAN DEAL OR NO DEAL MUCH BETTER
Treasure Hunt Is A Price Is Right Knockoff.
It’s what you get when Deal or no Deal tries to be fun, light-hearted, and funny.
@@christopherslappey1681 Actually, Treasure Hunt was a game show back in the 1950s hosted and created by comedian Jan Murray. Chuck Barris must've bought it from him and therefore, brought it back as The NEW Treasure Hunt.
@@jeremyprice7256 But It Was Similar To The Price Is Right With The Same Big Doors And Three Models.
@@christopherslappey1681 Hence, the "NEW!"
A tip for those watching with earphones.
Remove the left earphone unless you want to hear nothing but weird electronic windchime sounds in your left ear.
My brother's and sisters and i used to play this. We'd put our toys in different size boxes and wrap them with newspaper. We were very poor but that was great fun!
Lol, my grandpa pulled a stunt similar to that 2nd game with my mom one Christmas, started with a refrigerator sized box, inside it was a slightly smaller box, inside it was a slighter smaller box, inside it was a slightly smaller box etc. It ended up being a ring.

I hope someone in the future has a full ep. with a $25,000 win
Five sensuous, gorgeous, vivacious treasure hunt models, Muriel won a 1973 Corvette and Eva won $5,003 in cash, P.S. A brunette model looks awesome in a solid blue bikini bathing suit at the 14:04 mark!!
What I can't figure out is why the jackpot cash prize went down over time. It was $25K in '73, and in '81 they were only offering $21K. Taking inflation into account, the cash prizes should have become larger (not smaller) over time.
I thought it grew $1000 for every day it wasn't won...
Good job, Sam! This is one of the rarities of the show which was very obscure and really never shown in syndication, for some reason unknown. Yet thank you for the upload and you got another subscriber!
Thank you, Albert!
I forgot to mention that the CASH REWARD ENVELOPES SHOULD HAVE ANYWHERE FROM $5,000 TO $25,000.
I LOVE THE OLD THE NEW TREASURE HUNT CHRIS HOCH
Check out those hair dos.
My brothers and I played this game at home but we would put disgusting things in the surprise packages, (snotrag, someone's underwear)😂
All of Chuck Barris game shows were hilarious 😆 hehe especially the Treasure hunt didn't this show go all the way to 1983 Geoff Edwards was a great as host of this show and another Chuck Barris show that wasn't picked up called Cop Out
Yes, Geoff was a great host! So funny and great timing! He really put his acting skills to use for this. I also saw him on a couple episodes of Petticoat Junction.
This version may have lasted 3 or 4 years and resumed in 1981 for that year only if my memory is correct. And yes, these were on CBN and USA at times in the afternoon rerun block.
@@eyehatefarcebook11 This version was from 1973-77. It was revived in 1981 for a year, this time there being 66 boxes.
And then kinda rebooted (with a darker and more serious tone) with Deal or no Deal.
@@eyehatefarcebook11 Treasure Hunt never aired on USA.
wonder if that lady’s husband still has that Vette.
AVOID THE KLUNK! CHRIS HOCH
This show DOES need to come back.Put a check for $1,000,000 and a DREAM 🚗 CAR!! IT SHOULD BE NAMED SUPER TREASURE HUNT OR THE RETURN OF TREASURE HUNT!!
What episode is Pamela Hensley on ??
A little piece of trivia: this show only had female contestants. They were afraid that because of the nature of the show, a guy would take a swing at Geoff.
That Contestant Eva That Won $5,000 On Treasure Hunt Imagine If She Was On The Price Is Right On Won A Car She Probably Would Have Jumped On Bob Barker.
@@christopherslappey1681 Or Dennis James.
@@300zxbear2 Or What If She Won $10,000 In The Showcase Showdown She Would Have Had Bob Barker Running For His Life.
Because that was when men were men ! Dainty snowflake wussys nowadays. Sad !
I heard that the reason was that women tend to have more excitable reactions.
I always wondered......There were 30 (later expanded to 60) boxes. Moving cars and large merchandise on and off stage is a BIG DEAL. How could they have pre-planned 30 (or 60) different scenarios to perform with each box???
There were stopdowns that were all edited from the complete episodes. After the boxes had been chosen in the game, the taping would be halted for a few moments to allow Geoff Edwards to be briefed on the sketch that corresponded with the box that got selected.
@@drewzuhosky6826 Ok. But you mean that 30 (or later 60), sketches were written and rehearsed (per show), complete with prizes on stage? I mean, there were characters that appeared in some of those sketches with costumes and all kind of props. They also had to have all those cars, boats, furniture, appliances, etc. all set to go on stage -- and probably would never make it. Is that how they really did it?
Yeah, and there was one sketch that caused Geoff Edwards to almost leave in protest. A contestant would be led to believe she won a car, but after the commotion died down, she'd be told that she only won its _windshield._ Edwards was disgusted by the mean-spirited premise and was briefly fired by Chuck Barris, who reversed course before any new episodes could be shot. The 1970's run of _Treasure Hunt_ ended that season, anyway.@@Pmfried
A warehouse near the stage stored the prizes. They were moved in and out of position during stop downs.
Does Muriel get that goofy house along with the car? I don’t understand how something could start as a clunk, and you wind up with a $6000 car.
That was the nature of the game, to make the contestants think they made the wrong choice. That’s why they pulled all those pranks.
Someone who watch this show on the 70s or the reairing in the 80s, can tell me about some of the winners in this first season on TNTH (name of contestant and what she won), please?
I never saw
I never understood why only women were allowed to play. What was the reason for that?
_Treasure Hunt_ deliberately only had females as contestants because a woman's emotions were easier to exploit than those of a man. If they tried the show with a guy, it's a different story, one which could have ended with host Geoff Edwards picking up his teeth.
One proposed sketch for the show repulsed Edwards to the point where he nearly quit in protest.
The gist of the sketch entails a woman believing that she had just won a new car, with the show revealing that she had only won ITS WINDSHIELD-- a sketch which thankfully never made it to air.
Essentially stolen by DEAL or NO DEAL
Why were the contestants women and not men?
This was actually a pretty mean show if you think about it.
_Treasure Hunt_ exploited the women contestants' emotions (all contestants who appeared on the show were women) since a woman's emotions are easier to toy with than a man's. If they tried the show with a guy, it's a different story, one which could have ended with host Geoff Edwards picking up his teeth.
