The Challengers (September 19, 1990): Cindy/Chick/Larry

Here is a September 1990 episode of the Challengers.
Chick has won $3300 thus far and is two wins away from taking a $57,000 Ultimate Challenge. Can he keep things rolling?

I like the fact that all of the contestants get keep their winnings win or lose. Thanks David you are the best.

This was aired four days after my birthday

14:22 All that's missing is the fanfare from Caesar's Challenge!

[@JimTheGatorMan]

Bootleg Jeopardy!

Larry Caplan... the same guy who would go on to miss his $500K question on Millionaire.

The first pilot was the best episode!

I saw this episode on WCAU CBS 10 Philadelphia.

[@seanvogt221]

It only lasted one month on WCAU before it got yanked for Family Feud. It obviously got its ass kicked by WPVI’s Wheel of Fortune.

And I saw this episode on WTVQ ABC 36 Lexington and on WLKY CBS 32 Louisville.

I remember this show. WFMJ back in the day used to show it in early prime before it was cancelled. The format was very solid. Also the Judge had a perfct play with Dick (Much like Geoff Edwards had a good play with his judge von Erik on Play the Percentages).

newstarcadefan did WFMJ air match game 90 and the challengers on the same channel

[@drewzuhosky6826]

Good on their part. It probably went up against _Jeopardy!_ on WYTV pretty well.

Why is it that half the episodes of this show here on YT have the video cut off before or during the Buena Vista TV logo?

[@VahanNisanian]

The theme song rocks. I find myself air guitaring to it.

If you like to become a contestant on "The Challengers", you're 2 dozen years/2 months/25 days too late.

2:07 That show was cancelled after 11 episodes. It was Steven Bocho's biggest flop.
