The Catch Phrase logo on the Super Catch Phrase squares always looked like a guitar to me. Herbie the mascot gets me hyper.

Found it. As a 16 year old watching, I knew "tear gas".

[@Mrtv1017]

I sure wish this show would air on Buzzr

[@suelee3391]

Rare to see an extended credit version.

[@alfonsogreen2722]

this was a great game show

I laughed at the bull frog 10:00

[@zz7007]

Awesome

THIS SHOULD HAVE LASTED LONGER

[@zachhoran]

$75K is the maximum amount because the show aired on WCBS in NYC and they might have had to abide by CBS rules at the time(retire at $50K, keep up to $75K was the rule for Pyramid and PYL in Fall 1985). Singer Walter Egan of Magnet and Steel fame was a four time champion on this show but none of his episodes have surfaced. Walter appeared on Scrabble in the 80s as well but did not win. Charlie TUna recognized his song Magnet and Steel however.

+Zach Horan This aired on KCBS in LA, too. But this was syndicated, not solely for CBS stations. Though in my neck of the woods, KPIX (CBS in San Francisco) had this.

[@PREGO1966]

The Baltimore Channel that showed it is now their CBS affiliate but at the time it was their ABC affiliate. There was no Washington DC affiliate that carried it. I remember WCBS having it before I left New York. So yes it was first run syndicated

[@andrewschroy6368]

I thought I read in a promo flyer that channel 4 (NBC affiliate WRC) carried it in our nation's capital...

[@PREGO1966]

I moved here in November of 1985. If channel 4 did have it, it was while I was still in New York, but they must have dropped it by the time I got here because Channel 13 WJZ was the only channel showing it.

[@andrewschroy6368]

BTW, Zach, WCAU (also a CBS O&O at the time) carried it as well.

[@meyerj75]

Darn! I was hoping the pot would hit $4000 someday.

how did he die

[@RayDLopez-cq6fv]

It's too bad that Mr. Art James made his last TV quiz show via Catch Phrase just before he passed out circa 2004, 13 years earlier after he disappeared from the small screen upon not having emceeing another future game show at all, of course!

[@Rlotpir1972]

He could've offered to host 'Now You See It '89' if given the chance.

[@arthurjoseph2148]

IT'S ACTUALLY "PASSED AWAY", U DUMB DO DO BIRD! I THOUGHT 14 YEARS WAS "A LONG TIME"?😠😡🖕😟😭👎

Guys, here he is, Mr Chips without Roy Walker.

[@Sammy4549]

The phrases look like they were made on an Apple II.

[@lobstertexas]

The polygon fill-in style and fonts made me always think it was an Amiga (of all things...)

[@jamiefoote7806]

[@millenniumman75]

Model Shana Forman was also a substitute model for Anitra Ford on The Price is Right in 1976,
