I agree with this, I prefer the 80's Strike it Rich with 2 teams on the UK version it's called Strike it Lucky "later changed to the same name" but with 3 teams but instead of the burgler on the US version the UK has the Hot Spot and like what Michael Barrymore says "What is a Hot Spot Not?...Not a Good Spot"
If it wasn't for the 50's version of Strike It Rich, we would not see crazy and downright trashy shows like Jerry Springer and Jersey Shore. This is the granddaddy of all trashy TV shows.
+GameShowGarbage To be perfectly honest with you, this came out of nowhere (the fact that you came out as a transgender). Even now, I still can hardly believe it. With that said, I wish you all the best in your transition from male to female. You have my support. I just hope you don't lose any friends that you've made since the beginning of "Game Show Garbage" in 2009. I'm as straight as they come, but I absolutely despise the likes of homophobia and transphobia.
+Headbanger142 I recently came out as trans myself. So, this is my female garb. Sadly, since I'm really topheavy, it's hard to find good tops that not only fit me but are comfortable and go with my skirts.
Gotta say I’m glad these kind of game shows never made it to the UK. Hell, we considered Double Your Money as quite vulgar for giving away £1000, tax free when that launched in 1955.
So what's the difference between these shows, (Supposedly "...draining charity funds from the Salvation Army and other local charities.") and advertisements for donations showing starving African children with their ribs sticking out, or laying on rag mattresses and suffering from some tropical illness that needs medication to cure the disease? Isn't that money also being drained from local charities to a charity thousands of miles away? In addition those types of charities also have high overhead where most times 95% or so of the donation goes for salaries, rent, and other expenses. I remember seeing these shows as first run features during summer vacation from school. With the success of this show and similar ones it appears that the general public was in favor of the concept. I find it highly unlikely that all of the audience expected to be on the show. Since the tickets were free most likely the audience was there to see the show and were not looking to become contestants. The cost of their transportation was part of the cost of their vacation. My wife and I went to Las Vegas regularly and while there were part of the audience for shows such as the Jerry Lewis Telethon, (Didn't those donations also leave town and the local charities?) or the game show High Rollers using free tickets, first come, first served. If someone looks for something to bitch about they'll find it. Your video and comments just dropped into my lap while I was looking for something else.
Strike It Rich, is one of those 50's bad TV game shows, that nobody watches, it's pure trash, if it wasn't for them, we would not see Maury and Cheaters.
I can see why that show was TOTAL CRAP (2-3 minutes game play + extreme boring interview) !! At least YOU BET YOUR LIFE was 1 BILLION% better - Groucho's jokes lines during the interview section with a possible chance of saying the secret word for an extra $100 + a chance at an one question end game for really BIG BUCKS (RADIO & TV VERSION). BTW - I know another game show (if you called it a game show) from that era that was UNWATCHABLE - JUVENILE JURY !
2:57 Even factoring the flaws present in that and all it's global cousins (even Australia and South Africa!), I consider that one of the few things Kline got right. That and Masters of the Maze.
+HarlemHyena I liked K&F's SIR, though it wasn't as fast-paced as the opening said and there was the possibility that the winners could end up empty handed if they lost all their prizes to the Bandit and hit zero dollar signs in the endgame. But their original title was Arch Rivals, yet they chose Strike it Rich because, like Break the Bank, it was an established name. I myself would have went for an original name, and certainly not one from a show that wasn't so well-received.
cutemimi25 Yes, they called it Strike It Lucky because with IBA regulations they could only give away £6000 in cash and prizes. So the contestants could hardly ‘strike it rich’. It was renamed after the IBA turned into the ITC and the winnings cap was scrapped, with a star prize of £10,000
In 1970, "Queen For A Day" was revived as a one-season syndicated show, and Dick Curtis was host. The queen was selected by the studio audience via a tabulation machine. This program was aired by Metromedia Producers Corporation.

Whats with the gettup? Lonness made you wear a dress again?

What are your thoughts about 'Sports Jeopardy' on Crackle. I think it is one of the best Web TV shows on right now.

+HarlemHyena And Win, Lose, or Draw, too. Though technically a Burt & Bert show...

Well, if you look at its UK counterpart, they changed the name to "Strike it Lucky"... though they did use "Strike it Rich" from 1996 to 1999.
Wonder how Oprah, Jerry, and Maury got their ideas for their shows?
+James Klatt Believe it or not, all of them started out as straight talk show hosts in the vein of Phil Donahue.
Oprah stayed that way, while the others went sideshow.
Since you'll be closing the door on your show soon, what are you gonna do?
And then Michel Barrymore came in with strike it rich
Before that we had Joe Garagiola with the US version, also the UK version was called Strike it Lucky 1st.
