It's just you.
No, seriously, the opening fanfare is quite similar rhythmically and structurally, but that's about it. (Well, the other similarity is that I think both themes are total bops.)

I think there were several Score Productions "phases" where a lot of their themes (especially from the 70s onward) had the same type of rhythms/instruments used.
For example, the first Tattletales theme had several similarities to the Narz Concentration theme; Classic Concentration/Body Language; and even non G/T shows -- Moneymaze and Big Showdown.
Look at all the early-mid 70's Heatter-Quigley themes that were heavy on the electronic Moog sounds.

That's because Concentration & Tattletales were composed by Edd Kalehoff, Classic and Body Language were by Paul Epstein, and Moneymaze and Big Showdown were by Walt Levinsky.

That was enjoyable. I'm hoping next year they show Puzzlers and Spell Binders.

Weirdness today. Yesterday BUZZR moves ahead with Perry CS (ep 519, OAD: 4/25/80). After skipping 520, BUZZR airs 521, with a poll group plug edited out, a contestant plug left in, and a ticket plug at the end replaced by. . .a "get in touch with Game Show Network" bumper.
Think we also have fresh TT as well (February 1976 vintage).

A significant number of Fremantle's copies of episodes come from GSN ca. the 1990s to early 2000s - and back in the day, those promos were dubbed over plugs that GSN didn't air on the master tape.
