Treasure Mall Premiere

Here's the Premiere of the Short-Lived Game Show Treasure Mall.

[@myncesackcloth8893]

The good old days when I was in the first grade and this was on kcop 13 every weekday afternoon. I still remember watching Tom and Jerry, Beverly Hills Teens and then this show. Still remember to this very day at 40 years old!

[@marchoffman6878]

i remember treasure mall.

[@jnadle1]

That 24-second-shot-clock buzzer has turned up a bit in kids' game shows, like Wheel 2000, Zooventure.

[@bhayes06]

At least this one was better than the show it was paired up with (Slime Time).

[@brothergaryii]

The sound when displaying the answers after a question that was posed by Sparks was taken from "Trivial Pursuit," also produced by Fiedler-Berlin.

[@jnadle1]

And the loud "warble" from I'm Telling when the players' answers don't match, usually starting an argument.

[@craigfoye6674]

Both that and Slime Time (both short-lived children’s game shows in 1988) could be found on KTVT/Channel 11!!

[@MDCSWildcats86]

This reads like PITFALL's qualifying round meets BTB85's stunt round, but on youth serum.

[@jhzenor61481]

I so remember Treasure Mall! this was on KDSM-TV Channel 17, the FOX affiliate in Des Moines, Iowa! so many memories! It came on after Slime Time!

[@tvman323]

And every correct answer to a question should be worth money too. $20 in round 1 & $40 in round 2.

[@tvman323]

I think that Hal should've just give the winning team the chance to run thru the Treasure Mall for 8 great prizes (2 prizes per store) by finding the keys to 4 treasure chests (1 in each store) if completed in 60 seconds.

[@retroflashbackdude]

I think a better main game format should be each team gets to search 1 store in each round for the coins with 30 seconds for each section instead of 25. Each coin would be worth cash that each team keeps win or lose($10 in round 1, and $20 in round 2) and the team w/ the most cash after round 2 won and ties would b broken by combined number or coins found in both rounds. 4 ur bonus round idea, how bout $100 awarded for each key found and each chest has 2 random pairs of prizes inside, one of which could be a trip. the team could open any chests they chose as all the keys opens each chest, and the number of chests they can open is determined by number of keys found. and how bout 90 seconds or 2 minutes in the bonus round.

[@tvman323]

retroflashbackdude You're right.

[@tvman323]

And the questions should be worth $20 in round 1 & $40 in round 2.

Same thing as Double Dare, where they do messy stunts against a clock.

[@marchoffman6878]

i.ve watched this show and slime time.

[@Addison8175]

Why am I watching this at 4am

[@MatthewJicha]

Truely and Kevin were on I'm Telling a year before they came on here.

[@danbarker4857]

Not a bad show.

[@ClassixSuperRetroPlayhouse]

it should have lasted longer and/or made daily

[@flclfan85]

if I saw right, the copyright on this was 1983, just a decade before Saban Entertainment would strike gold on kid's TV

[@digiblader1]

+flclfan85 1988 actually.

[@deandrelgarcia2157]

RKRts Animations I'm disgusted by you...

[@rykaro69]

Lillymay Parker cool!

[@sha11235]

I guess they stopped tape so the contestants could clean their asses up.

[@zacheryalderton4578]

what are the game rules

[@gabrielbueso1307]

Very simple: first, each team have to answer of those questions, if the blue or red team won of this quizzes; they have a game to searching of 16 coins in 2 rounds and finally, you need to find the 3 or 4 keys to open a treasure chest of fabulous stuff

[@nathanbyberg]
