- On this 1974 episode of Gambit with Wink Martindale, the Ferraros return with $1,535 in cash and prizes, currently in the first game of a new match against the Livingstons. When time was called, the Ferraros had a hand of 13 while the Livingstons had an 8. The Any 21 Jackpot stands at $1,500. Can the Ferraros continue their winning ways and go back to the Gambit board for a chance at fabulous prizes and maybe a new car, or will the Livingstons find a better hand?

This is the only episode of Gambit that I have in my collection at this time
This particular episode was pre-empted (or unaired) because it was on the same day and time CBS was covering Richard Nixon's resignation.
I wish the contestant intro music would resurface like the main theme did. It's very good!
R.I.P., Michael Tiller.
I would love to see a Gambit revival!
Have single contestants, Rachael Reynolds as dealer, add a joker to the deck that would give a cash bonus to the player and replace any card.
Watch Catch-21.
Who would be the host?
3 Aces, a welcome site with the Gambit Board, a very welcome sight with Pay Cards, but would spell disaster on Card Sharks!
Except the 1986 version of Card Sharks.
@@jacobtoadstool492 @ least when it came to the Money Cards.
This is an early 1974 episode from the classic American game show "Gambit". The two couples competing on this episode are the Livingstons & the Ferraros. 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
I barely remember watching Gambit when it originally aired of course I was quite a bit younger but somehow this sticks out. You could tell towards the end they were really in hurry up mode and barely had enough time to sign off.
That might have been the hard way to get to 21 on the Gambit board, but that’s the excitement of drama. The Livingstons winning almost $11K in one day is something Catch 21 might need to learn if they come back with a whole new season on GSN
you win $25k
The question at 14:11 always cracks me up. Wink deserved some ribbing for his attire choices.
Lucky
It’s all in the cards
First Game Show Temple video in 2022.
I hope gsn would show this,it's owned by mgm,which now is owned by warner brothers.it would be great.
Less than a handful of episodes are known to exist.
MGM and Orion Pictures.
Was this Heatter/Quigley's only game show for CBS network?
No, there was "Video Village" (adult and junior editions), "Double Exposure", "The Celebrity Game" and "The Amateur's Guide to Love" before "Gambit" on CBS.
The way the video is jumpy and static is exactly how it would have looked when I faked being sick and stayed home from school ...But NO COLOR ...we didnt come into the color age for another 6 to 8 years
I never understood why this was a game for couples. And I asked that same question for Headline Chasers and the first half of Play The Percentages as well. If that version of the show from 1990 hosted by Bob Eubanks made it to air, that would've been for solo players.
It was a game for couples because back then, women could not think or live for themselves without consulting their husband first. Intelligent women were considered freaks; plus, it was considered taboo for a woman to accumulate lots of money and prizes by herself or to be a breadwinner of the family. They were only good (and expected) for three things: cooking, cleaning and sex. Back then, a woman couldn't buy her own car nor apply for loan/credit without her husband's signature. If she was single, her father or trusted male relative like a brother, uncle or grandfather had to co-sign. It wasn't until the rise of feminism and the women's movement this phased out by the 1980s.
@@lakebay972 That can't possibly be correct there were lots of other game shows on at the time like The Joker's Wild, The Price Is Right, Match Game, Wheel of Fortune, Hollywood Squares, High Rollers and Concentration among other programming where women were able to play by themselves and win a lot meaning they chose to have couples play this for some other reason.
@@mitchellries256 The game shows you mentioned debuted (or were revised) in the 1970s and they first broke the barrier for having female solo contestants. Those other shows you mentioned do not require intelligence or knowledge to play whereas Gambit does to some extent. Another reason Gambit chose to have couples (I think Wink mentioned this in an interview) was because it wanted to ride the success and use the formula of The Newlywed Game, another popular game show at the time. Tattletales was created for that same reason.
If it's not the intelligence factor, then it was the fact that since Gambit often gave away cars, back up until around 1975, in most states, a woman could not have a car title in her name without her husband's or father's permission. Also, back then, a person could not be sold or given a car if they could not pay registration and state fees. And since most women were unemployed (housewife), it always went with the husband or father. Times sure have dramatically changed in the last 50 years.
@@lakebay972 The Newlywed Game makes more sense (I am guessingthats why Wink decided to use it for Headline Chasers also). The knowledge factor still doesn't sound convincing enough because it debuted in 1972 on the same year as The Joker's Wild which not only required just as much if not more knowledge than this show but also along with The Price Is Right allowed people of both genders to wina car. So if neither of those shows required a woman to win a car with someone else or have a limited amount of intelligence than I don't see why this show would.
@@mitchellries256 It's not the shows that didn't allow a woman to win a car with someone else. It was State Law/the government. Those shows were about the entertainment factor and the essence of winning and losing. They didn't care about the government or what a person did their winnings afterword. Among the 3 shows you mentioned, Gambit required most intelligence and strategy whereas Price is Right was more a game of chance. Joker's Wild was a huge risk at the time because of Jack Barry who was involved with the quiz show scandals of the 1950s. This was his redemption arc back into television after years of exile. To made it work, everything had to be dumbed down to the lowest common denominator. An example of a typical show.
Jack Barry: It's the largest city in the State of Oklahoma. It's also the state capital. It's city name shares the same name as its state. First, I want you to give me the name of this city in Oklahoma. Then, name the state it's located. Here's some time to think about it. (cue music)
Woman: Could you repeat the question?Jack: (repeats question) First, give me the name of this Oklahoma City.
Woman: Tulsa?
Jack: No, that is incorrect. (to woman's opponent). Sir, if you can answer this question, you will not only win your 5th game in a row; but our Joker's Jackpot of $7000, a stereo, a pool table, a 27-inch color TV, a trip to Barbados and a brand new 1974 Dodge Monaco. Name this Oklahoma City.
Man: Oklahoma City
Jack: Right! Now name its state location.
Man: Oklahoma
Jack: YOU WIN! (cue winning music)
