(especally the big sweep, the FK like endgame is tired though)

OK, stupid question, but what's FK? [/quote]

Enjoy lots and lots of backstage TPIR photos and other fun stuff here. And yes, I did park in Syd Vinnedge's parking spot at CBS

yep, FK's indeed finders keepers

FK's endgame was find the clue card in the room get a prize go to the next room repeat 6 times (in 90 seconds) win it all

Sweeps endgame is get a riddle, find the item repeat 3 times (in 60 seconds) win 5k...it gets old after a while...but i cant really find a better endgame for that show so well, i still like sweep ;)

Thats a very hard endgame, i always thought it should have been played for higher stakes in FK (often the room romp final prize was less than the instant prize room prize, esp in the Eure version)

However it does fit Sweep well, however applying it to the mini sweeps :-/

To Tell the Truth. Not the Paula Poundstone version, but the original Mike Wallace pilot entitled Nothing But the Truth which CBS should never have ordered in the first place

 Absolutely nothing. But Nothing But The Truth with Wallace at the helm sucked rocks. :)

I wouldn't say absolutely nothing, CL.  What about the occasional nudist in 2000-01?  (OK, so maybe "occasional" is stretching it.)

[quote name=\'Mike Tennant\' date=\'Dec 18 2003, 10:02 AM\'] [quote name=\'beatlefreak84\' date=\'Dec 17 2003, 10:45 PM\']I'm also surprised no one mentioned "Trivial Pursuit."  That was on for a good 2-3 years and, IMO, should've only stayed on about 4 months![/quote]
I think it was the announcer that kept that one going for so long. ;-) [/quote]
Thanks Mike... took me a while to find that post!

65 "qualifying" half-hours, 65 "classic" half hours, and 30 weeks of phone-in games. Then the spin-off "Boggle", "Jumble" and "Shuffle" half-hours. All reran into residual heaven. It's comforting to know that the proceeds from Pat Robinson's fund raising went to good use!

Many an uncomfortable truth is said in jest.    :-|

 Correct me if I'm wrong:  Panelists' questions were written for them.

 I don't think the panelists had questions written for them, but I guess it is possible questions were suggested by some of the staffers for some of the less-than-stellar game players, particularly on the 2000-01 version(just like Pyramid helps some of the celebrities on the current version as we discussed recently)

As a reason to dislike the show, that's close enough.
