Blank Check

Also, the game is the same thing over and over, but a host who's a little better at human interaction could have made it livelier.

Art James is Jim Peck without the pizzazz.

The one episode I was able to see on a trip to Alabama was on March 7, 1975, and they were doing the new format by that time.

I have no idea what I was doing on March 7, 1975. I'm glad someone does :-)

You were in Alabama on March 7, 1975 too?

I was celebrating my 10 year birthday that day.  Side question - what was the game show that Art James did for Multimedia Productions, around that same time? Did they produce the pilot of Blank Check?

Pot O' Gold, maybe?

Was Blank Check the first game show to regularly display different names & letters on eggcrate displays?  Since Price is Right only used eggcrate displays on the Showcase podiums & Card Game to spell out "OVER", I would hazard a guess that those were only signed/wired for that word only.

Oddly enough, it would be Art's next game show that would go one step further with "scrolling" alpha-numeric eggcrates on "Magnificent Marble Machine".

True. He was so good on "Temptation," though. Maybe if he'd brought that leering nightclub sugar-daddy approach and his cigarette holder to this.

"Who What or Where," too, for that matter. "You'd like $30 on the 'what.' I bet you would. Let's explore it together, shall we?"

LOL.
