I always love nipsey russell he makes me feel good with his poems.

[@gobux113]

I think Doug was also a contestant on Classic Concentration a few years later.

[@diamondking3421]

The 80s had so many game shows like this.

[@excuseyou77]

This is awesome, don't think I've ever seen an episode look this clear before!

[@paullarue2010]

He did that same poem on "Password Plus".

[@AaronBruceLadner]

I Love Nipsey's Podium!

[@supersaver87]

Thank you for posting this. The video/audio quality is amazing!

[@MySonic29]

I like the game, it really deserves a revival.

[@CadillacL]

Surprisingly never saw this game. Shame it didn't last.

[@MySonic29]

If i revived this show I would call it "Secret Number".

[@TheWriterWalker]

Nipsey Russell is fun to watch in this vid. Also, I used to notice that he sounded like an old man even when he was young! Lol

[@snowden67]

Lee Menning looks a lot like Elaine Stewart from Gambit.

[@johnmiller8338]

Nipsey-russell the poet lauret of television.

[@beachgrad98]

Talk about discrepancies, they didn't post the number 1 on the last spin before the car and they had the champ spin even though he wasn't involved in the question.

[@johnissoevil]

One would think that Gene Wood only did shows for Goodson-Todman, considering that's what he mostly did. But I remember him for shows like this just as much as I remember him for Feud.

[@newstarcadefan]

Wow, I was only 3 when I saw this. I was into the bonus round because of the giant telephone (of course a 3-year-old and game shows, and bright colors, and shapes were the norms).

[@SP84Fanatic]

The two choices of questions reminds me a lot of Twisters. Also, the three contestant podiums remind me of Three on a Match. Bob Stewart got great mileage out of all of his ideas for shows.

[@tpir1972]

This show was good, I wonder why it was cancelled to fast. maybe Pyramid was competing with the show?

[@nextbarker2702]

Is this Gene's only Bob Stewart game show

[@tdickensheets]

I was 24 years old when this came out.

[@bluebear1985]

@MrMarcellolsilva He did Love Connection for three years, and also Win, Lose, or Draw. He also hosted a couple of shows which were taped in Canada, Anything You Can Do from 1971-1972, and Beat the Clock from 1972-1974.

[@landrykkb]

He also announced for Win,Lose,Or Draw too.

[@jhzenor61481]

Im not sure if WHO-TV (Des Moines, IA) had this show or not.

[@videoarchives1000]

@supersaver87 You're very welcome - glad you like it!

[@Tubewings]

Hey, va1k, I've noticed that whenever the show comes out of commercial, there's no video, but there is audio. Was that due to the video transfer?

[@QBCNetwork]

KPRC (Houston) didn't have the show.

[@tpir1972]

Is this the only game show NOT a G-T production announced by Gene Wood, not counting Love Connection?

[@gameshowfreak2007]

@heine71 I wonder if this was only intended to go 13 weeks which is why Lee was willing and able to do this.

[@jhzenor61481]

I'm kinda curious of the people in the audience if some of them still have the same 4 digits of their phone number as of today, just out of curiousity.

[@PatrioticPirate]

GO GET'CHUR KEYS! I used to love this game!

[@BlackwoodCompany]

I really did like that poem aobut the roosters.

[@videoarchives1000]

@Tubewings never noticed that really, so I'm not sure.

[@JeopardyandWheelFan]

Unlike his father's company, Sande Stewart's production company is NOT owned by Sony.

[@Wheeloffortunefan999]

@pseudoplastico LOL! i didnt't notice that at first!

[@MrMarcellolsilva]

@johnissoevil Don't forget....
Bruuce Forsythe's hot Streak and Family Challenge, any others.

[@LogoMan7777]

You wouldn't happen to be Geoff Edwards, would you?
