I can't believe I forgot about this one.  I thought of every show but this one.

Greed comes to mind, or is that too far back?

While on this subject, I'm reminded of how I'd thought it looked discriminatory (unless there's a better choice of words), that Hollywood Squares (during the H^2 days), had the celebrities and host Tom Bergeron sitting, but not the contestants!

But MOST importantly, was the ANNOUNCER sitting? ;-)

Was High Rollers the only game in which contestants sat on bleacher-type benches???  ISTR that on Trebek's last HR series, the players each had a "bench" to sit on (made it easier for the players to get up and roll)...Not sure if the players during Wink's era had the same luxury or if they stood the whole time.
