This game show never aired in my area and this game show looked like it was a fun show.

No not all dice-rolling, but not nearly as much Q&A emphasis. "High Rollers" made a good balance between the dice and questions. It took several minutes to get to a 20 second dice roll.

If I'm not mistaken, all of Ralph Andrews' game properties are currently under the Fremantle umbrella.

I had a thought of how this might've worked: ditch the celebrities, use two teams of four, and have one person on each team face off against each other in a question round, with the first to three questions getting a die roll. Use different players for the game. First one to Yahtzee wins, or the team furthest along the way after four rounds wins. Thoughts?

Actually, disneyfan81, he's right (as are you with the Reel to Reel Picture Show). Ralph Andrews Productions went through financial problems in the mid-80s, which explains the lack of game shows they produced at that time. The same problems Yahzee had the '80s Lingo suffered that same problems.

This show had a case against it as the production company didn't pay the host, the celebs, or the contestants some of all of their promised paychecks

[@disneyfan81]

@zachhoran Actually I think you've got this confused with Peter's later show"The Reel-to-Reel Movie Game".

my answer to question 1 is something that's illegal in 39 states lol

[@presto709]

I think the celebrities were too isolated. If they were able to interact with each other like on Match Game it would have been a livelier game

[@namk19]

so would u rather have yahtzee the game show be pretty much all dice-rolling?

[@Tubewings]

Lawsuit, anyone?

[@kwetzler624]

Wow! This game was a mess!

[@bhayes06]

I don't know about that, but....

[@bhayes06]

The front game resembles a knockoff of Match Game. Wonder what Gene Rayburn or Mark Goodson would say to that?

[@tvpirate05]

Clever format, but way too much going on. The Match Game-esque questions took too much time to get to the essence of the game, which is the dice rolling.

[@SLAyer-xq1pg]

I love how the girl contestant so-call shakes up the dice in that large tub, neither one of the large five dice tumble while being shaked up. LMAO!!!! Peter Marshall is all over the place. Stuttering, being bossy, and not knowing the format.

It's easy to see why this show failed. Horrible.
