Jim Perry Tribute: Twisters (Unsold Pilot) (10/23/82)

[@lynettepalecek3141]

That was the first time that I watched "Twister." I really enjoyed that show! It was fun to watch. 🙂👍

[@davidlewis7267]

This was fun! I would have watched it if it had sold.

I actually liked this show's concept -- yes, a little like "Jackpot" -- and, of course, the great Jim Perry.

[@comancheviperrrr]

So the concept of the show was quite interesting. At first I wasn’t sure I thought it was gonna be cheesy. But once it started and I really started to enjoy it. I think it would’ve been a show that would have been a classic. And one that would have lasted for at least five years. And with Jim Carrey as the host I’ll cut it loose?

Fun concept

[@FLOGAN222]

The format was similar to "Your Numbers Up"

[@misstee101]

this is kinda like Jackpot!

[@LogoMan7777]

I can see why this show didn't work, though. There were a lot of "Twisters". If a matching number comes up, you work with someone. If it doesn't, you work against. Shame we never got to see the car in play.

[@Musicradio77Network]

The music sounded a lot like "Jackpot" and "Shoot for the Stars", and also, the definitive classic "Eight O'Clock RNTV Poop" from RetroNauseaTV where they used this theme with the WSBK-TV movie bumper which is quite interesting.

Surprise ending?

[@louistenore2185]

the heme was played better this way when it was done for jackpot it was a bit too fast

[@MitchellHang]

"Casino"? Don't you mean "Cash Tornado"?

[@Raarrow]

+Mitchell Hang (Gilblitz112) That was for Jonathan Goodson. "Casino" was a pilot for Heatter-Quigley in 1981.

[@MitchellHang]

+Raarrow Oh.

[@marcpower4167]

@@Raarrow there was another pilot called Casino pitched for GSN in the 2000s, it was later tweaked and became catch 21.

As much as I liked and admired Jim, this doesn’t seem like a great concept
