About a month ago, I stumbled upon an article from 1985, which interviewed Rob Fiedler and Peter Berlin, who later produced
Wordplay and
Trump Card. The mention of the former on the Buzzr thread caused me to remember the article.
http://articles.latimes.com/1985-09-02/entertainment/ca-23077_1_game-showThe article mentions the two producing a pilot for NBC and competing against four other pilots. I'm guessing that a) the time slot later went to
Your Number's Up, and b) one of the four other pilots was
Split Decision, which taped in summer 1985.
Cool read about the behind the scenes part of the business...
