The Money Maze (with commercials) - hosted by Nick Clooney. Filmed March 1975 at ABC Studio in NY.

So underrated. Deserves to be revived.

I knew that announcer sounded familiar. Former voice of the USA Network and then, of course, announcer of the Late Show with David Letterman.

[@NEPatriot]

First of all...THIS IS A BIG FIND for game show nerds like me. Second, wonder if Nick's son knows anything about the existences of this short-lived cult classic. Third...for the way the champs wound their reign up in a blaze of glory to quote the late Jim Perry, $22,200, when put into the inflation calculator comes out being...$105,798.27! And I heard Nick say "there's your house" to the champs. Well...at least a sizable down payment as according to the US Census Bureau the median price for a house in March 1975 was $38,800, while the average was $42,100 .

[@aspierunner1725]

If you look at a lot of Game Shows from that era, quite a few of the top emcees donned leisure suits (Geoff Edwards wore them frequently) or aviator type leisure suits (Allen Ludden wore them a lot) i also remember an LMAD from this era where Monty Hall donned a similar suit and joked that if "my contestants can dress the way they do i can wear this suit" .

[@janetbelanger5757]

My continued reboot idea. This would be a limited run series. 10 1 hour episodes for 20 games all together. There would be no returning champions. This could be done over two weekends to save production costs. There would be no need to change the maze after each game. My previous post listed the various values in the dash but this can always be adjusted based on the prize budget. For example 100 000 top prize using 6 prize towers. One tower with a 1 and then 5 towers with a 0. The time limit would be 70 seconds. Again this would be up to the producers. ABC has been rebooting old game shows and this would be a good one to put back on the air.

[@pinedelgado4743]

[@janetbelanger5757]

My idea for a reboot. The first three rounds would stay the same. Three trips to the maze for three prizes using today's value. The third trip could be for a car or a super vacation. The question phase would be the same as on the 1974 show. 15 seconds to the prize tower with an additional 10 seconds for a second tower with a cash prize of 2,500. The dash portion would be different. All 8 towers would be in play. The amount won would be based on the number of towers reached. Eight towers would win 500,000. Seven towers 250,000. Six towers 100,000 and decreasing amounts for fewer towers. The maze runner would again have to get out before time expired ie hitting the birthday tower. My time limit would be 90 seconds based on watching the show where it took between 50 and 60 seconds to get 5 towers for 10,000 and get out of the maze. The producers can have some control as they can decide which side of the tower the player had to get to. Any thoughts on this let me know in a response. I saw how emotional Mary was after the 10,000 dollar dash. She was in tears after the big win. It was good to see even Nick started to cry when she did

There was an inquiry about where one can watch all the episodes of The Money Maze on the other version of this video that is posted by "All fun and games"... I am re-posting my reply here. Just in case anyone else is wondering about the basic status of this show... ... ... The tapes do not exist. The show was recorded on either one-inch or two-inch videotape. I'm not sure which one. Either way, videotape was a new innovation. The appeal to the networks was that this new invention of videotape was reusable, therefore cheaper than film in the long run. So the networks never archived the episodes in the first place. They simply re-used the same videotape stock week after week, therein erasing whatever was previously recorded on the tape. There was no concept at the time that a network game show would ever be a viable product for reruns. There were only three networks, and syndication was in its infancy in 1975. Only the production companies Goodson Todman and Heater Quigley had the insight to preserve and archive their daily episodes, at great expense. Most of the Heater Quigley shows have never resurfaced. For example, the original Hollywood Squares is believed to be permanently erased. Network daytime game shows were reinvented every season, produced en masse, and considered disposable products after one airing. Sad but true, and understandable as a business decision at the time. There are only three known existing episodes of The Money Maze. This episode, the pilot, and one episode archived at The Paley Center in New York, which was gifted from the Andy Warhol estate. Andy had an early version of a home Betamax in 1975 and luckily recorded one episode. I recently went to the Paley Center while on vacation in New York and watched it. It's available for public viewing. It's a superb example of the show and equally enthralling as this episode with Don and Mary Paoli as the big winners. Any fan of The Money Maze who is in New York should go there and watch it. It is not on KZbin or anywhere else. The Paley Center has it exclusively.

In watching the dash I find myself wondering if the studio audience was helping Mary get to the final zero. Were they providing hand directions to her to get her to the last tower. I know the audience was not allowed to provide any verbal directions. Several audience members were standing when she was going to the last tower and it would be tempting to signal which way to go. Any thoughts let me know.

[@MDCSWildcats86]

The only legal means of direction was from the navigator in the crows nest. And yes, the spotlight operator was dependent on the person giving directions, too.

[@blind_t2]

if ABC brought this back, here’s how I pictured this. I know it could be either a couples format, or a family, or more than likely, it would be a contestant/star format, where the contestant would be the one running the maze, and the star gives the directions. of course there would be smaller prizes like the show, and maybe a 1000 dollar money tower. the seconds would increase to an even 30 if they should choose to go for both prize and money tower. the final round would be a 100,000 dollar dash. if they were to do a primetime version or special, then that could increase to 1,000,000 dollars. for the bonus, just so they can say they came out with something in the bonus, the buttons would still be 5, but the dollar value would be increased, and you’d have to follow a set path to reach the top prize. the first button would start at 10,000, then the second would be 15,000, then 25,000, then 50,000, then 100,000, with the last button being the finish line.
