Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer did "The Wizard of Oz".

Jim Lange's finest hour outside of The Dating Game. Since he was a radio personality before he went on to greater fame as a game show host, his music background to that end made him an ideal host. If not for the facts that a) it only aired weekly and b) straight quizzes, entertainment background or not, were on their way out save for J! for 1988, this could have lasted a lot longer than it did. I love the concept of the Three for All round which meant no match was over until it was over, exactly what a straight quiz should be. About 10 years later this was revived for a season or so on BET, with Spencer Christian as host. Not many people talk about that version, but I watched the holy heck out of it (it didn't hurt that the Christian era aired on weeknights and had a killer theme) and IMO it was a worthy revival.

Was Triple Threat taped on the same stage where the original version of Star Search was taped?

I did some research and there was an earthquake that hit Pasadena, California on December 3, 1988 so I believe this episode aired around that time.

Was this a Barry & Enright Game Show?

Was this game show filmed at CBS Television City? It looks that way to me

Yacky yak not is Herman hermits song

Here's a Triple Threat Relay involving episodes of these cartoons. F-Zero GP Legend, Batman: The Animated Series, RWBY. Complete with four Out of Plays.

Out of Play Songs (Spoilers) ... ... ... Sugar Shack by Jimmy Gilmer and the Fireballs Wooly Bully by Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs Shadow Dancing by Andy Gibb and of course, Yakety Yak by The Coasters

Wasn't this taped in the same studio as Star Search?

I knew it was on Saturday nights on Channel 13 WTHR locally.

Mens Bathroom choir productions (2020-present) will get sued if they keep the TT name

i watched this show.

Lumps?!

Nice set.

Yackety Yak by Herman's Hermits. it was (sorry for this racist common) by a black group.

The cat in the Amore commercial looks like one of my old cats.

Ellen Ross got confused.

Mommy?!

Triple Threat From the Creator of SOLID GOLD, Entertainment Tonight, Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous and Star Search

Who is the announcer

Did get all 9.

What in blue blazes is Jim Lange saying at 23:48?

Apparently, these players thought Herman's Hermit sang a Coasters song. Oh well.

Obviously an attempt to revive the weekly nighttime game show. Didn't work out too well.

And don't forget about Jeopardy!

From the people that brought you the world's greatest talent competition!

Here in NY, it originally aired Sundays at 10:30 PM on WPIX, but around midseason it moved to WWOR, which also aired it Sundays, but at 11:30 AM.

1988 game show

I used 2 love this game show

Pretty good game show. It's gone but Wheel of Fortune is still going strong? YIKES!!!!!

Johnny Gilbert was the announcer for the pilot, but because Gilbert is doing Love Connection for the 1988-89 season, Sam Riddle took the announcer's position instead of Gilbert.

I believe in NY, this aired on Channel 9.

Thank you for posting this. Never saw this game show before!

I think Rod Stewart left faces in the early 70s because Maggie May came out in 1971.

thanks Keith!

dodinewell, since you mentioned that your dad's a contestant in this here episode, i will automatically root for him. Maybe I shouldn't be so biased, but what the heck, huh? As of this comment, I haven't seen the outcome yet. So, as unnecessary as it may seem because you know what the outcome is and I don't, wish him luck.

MGM did "The Wizard of Oz".

I would've gotten all the Wizard Of Oz questions correct.

I guess Mel is dead now, like Jim Lange, right?

Bowzer!

Heinz commercial was screwy!

This was a good show, it should've lasted longer.

Martha Smith looks SO '80s, here!! That great, big hair, those big shoulder pads, the tight, cinched waistline.... Very "Dynasty!" :-D

This is so funny!!

Excellent!

Things in a bush: I was thinking one bird.

Who's the announcer?

KCBS memories from before I headed out to my kindergarten class. Thanks for hanging on to this and God Bless.
