No one more disappointed than I.

I didn't feel like starting a new thread here, so I'll just hijack briefly: I saw a contestant on Password earlier this week with the last name Kilcullen. You must have been horrified!

According to the 12/28/87 issue of Television/Radio Age, "Gambit" was being offered for fall 88 from Orion.

Other proposed game show strips in that issue were "$64,000 Question" from Casablanca, "Double Up" from MCA, "Evesdroppers" from Access, "Face the Music" from Wilshire Productions, "Family Game" and "Gong Show" from Barris, "Family Feud" from LBS, "Liar's Club" from Four Star, "Lotto Live" from ITF, "Queen For a Day" from Fries (Monty Hall,host), "Relatively Speaking" from Select Media, "Stop the Music" from MGM/UA, "Sweethearts" from Multimedia, "Tell it to Harvey" (Korman, again) from ABR, "Trivial Pursuit" from Worldvision, "Vaudeville Game" from Coca-Cola, "Wedding Game" from Hagen/Menk, "Who's Baby" from Taffner, "Wipeout"-Paramount and "Yahtzee" ABR.[/quote]
Ah yes:

Double Up was Jamie Farr's show, mentioned during game show week on Scrabble....

Family Game had Jeff MacGregor hosting, fresh from Dating Game...

Wasn't TDG still on the air at the time? How could he have hosted The Dating Game and The Family Game at the same time?

While having the same guy host two shows concurrently in syndication would be odd, it wouldn't be implausible or undo-able either.

What would have been impossible is one person hosting a show for two different production companies in syndication. Family and Dating were both Barris.
