This was taped just after the original board's mechanism (it was the long-disused "Nighttime Concentration" board that had sat for 12 years in NBC's Fort Lee, New Jersey warehouse that went out to California ) had completely died. It was rebuilt with a faster and more reliable mechanism and one change came with it. The two "Bonus Number" cards replaced the two "Forfeit 1 Gift" cards; that marked the end of the Forfeits on every version of "Concentration" to come. They were considered pointless with the elimination of the gag prizes in this version. The daytime Concentration board was still in use when this version was about to start taping, because the NBC version with Bob Clayton was winding down in 30 Rockefeller Plaza. With the exception the trilon cards and a few parts shipped to Hollywood as spares for this version's board, it was scrapped after series ended. The prize board doors from the nighttime version had been shipped out to California and cut down as permanent prize boards on the Hollywood set. The desks are from the daytime Concentration set and were shipped to Hollywood immediately after the final show taped. They were refitted with the signal buttons and lights.
@psalm37v44 жыл бұрын
Fascinating stuff. I was hoping when Buzzr got G-T Concentration they'd air eps from the 1st season, so we could see (and hear) the old board mechanism at work. I'm curious if it was just as slow as the daytime one. But I'm still glad to see it again :)
@ronflatter12354 жыл бұрын
That is substantially true, except there were not two boards at NBC. Just one. (Why would there be two?) The one that was used at the end of the NBC run in spring 1973 was shipped to California for the fall 1973 launch of the syndicated show.

I hope Comcast-NBC/Universal brings back "Concentration," or allow FreeMantle Media to produce it for first-run syndication. The 30-piece puzzle board would work out again due to the better technology that is available now as opposed to what Alex Trebek worked with in the '80s "Classic Concentration." Also, the bonus round puzzles would be done differently: first trip for $10k; second trip for $25k & new car. And if time ran out and it's FreeMantle-produced....cue the "Losing Horns."
