Well, since the thread has been resurrected, here are a few San Francisco local ones I can think of:
California Countdown (mid-1970s, on the local ABC station) - teams of San Francisco bay area elementary/middle school students would answer questions based on California geography. It had a strange format; 16 schools competed, then the 8 winners returned and competed against each other, then those 4 winners came back for the final, which was three rounds - round 1 had two of the schools, round 2 had the other, and the winners met in round 3 for the grand prize, which was usually a (black and white) video camera with tripod and reel-based video recorder. I'm not sure who hosted the first season, but Jim Lange took over after that; I know there was a second and third season (I even remember the two tiebreaker questions in their finals: how far below sea level is Death Valley's lowest point, and how long is San Francisco's longest street?)
Super Bowling (one season, early/mid-1970s, on the local CBS station) - three contestants per day would spin a wheel that landed on a number from 2 to 10 and they had to knock down exactly that many pins on a bowling lane without guttars (a precursor to "bumper bowling"), with 1 ball for 2-5 or 2 balls for 6-10. Whoever was closest to their target chose one of five boxes, which was put at the top of a machine (I'm not sure if it was just a large ramp or there was someone inside that would bowl the ball); one box had a ball, and the number of pins knocked down determined the prize won - there were 10 prizes randomly put on a board, with a car as the top prize. There was also a cash jackpot element for landing on "bonus" on the wheel and knocking down 10 pins with 2 balls.
Junior Champions (first season) / PAL Champions (second season) (early 1970s, Saturday mornings, on what was then the local NBC station) - kids (always boys, and I think there were two divisions, something like 11-12 and 13-14 year olds) competed in sporting events like throwing footballs through a tire, pitching baseballs at a target, shooting basketballs, and running an obstacle course. In the first season, each of ten qualifying shows had six kids (three from each division) from a particular city where they held tryouts (and they aired film highlights of the tryouts); each winner advanced to one of two semi-finals, and each semi-final winner advanced to the final. In the second season, each episode was two teams of two.
